I think the biggest thing holding people back from AI right now isnt the technology. its that they havent spent enough time getting punched in the face by it

I recognized pretty early that you cant casually use these tools and expect to understand what they can do. so I went deep, hundreds of hours in Claude Code, Cowork, Codex, building real stuff for clients and for myself
I stopped trying to make the AI fit my old workflow and started building new workflows around what it was actually good at.
right now I can spin up full tools, wire up AI agents, ship things to production without a dev team. Claude Code specifically changed how I think about building entirely
the people saying "the technology isnt there" are almost always the ones who spent an afternoon with ChatGPT or Claude and moved on. and I get it, the first impression is underwhelming. but thats like judging a gym membership after one workout
spend 100 hours with these tools before you form an opinion. not just reading about them, and not watching tutorials, but actually building things that break and figuring out why as you go along
