What the trainers actually said
613 things the trainers said that were worth writing down, in course order. Each links to the moment it was said.
An AI generalist is a problem solver who uses AI as a leverage.Devesh · go to the moment
Model has not done a bad job here. I have done the bad job... The quality of what you give matters enormously.Devesh · go to the moment
Obviously it is annoying for humans, but this is like a gold mine for AI. AI needs all these contexts to perform better. (after the coffee-ordering sketch)Devesh · go to the moment
Front end is the movie that is shown to you... Back end is the production system behind the movie.Harshit · go to the moment
Once the planning is done in ChatGPT... then you take the final plan and put it in Lovable to do the coding for you. You're saving the tokens. You're saving your credits.Harshit · go to the moment
Actually, this was the goal — to show you how messy everything can be when you go about building something, and these are all the actions that you have to take.Harshit · go to the moment
n8n is just a UI layer on top of JSON.Harshit · go to the moment
Using AI is cheating, guys. So that's why I would say go ahead and use AI to build your AI workflows itself.Harshit · go to the moment
The larger the parameters, the better the model. That's it. It's that simple.Harshit · go to the moment
I have one golden rule. If it works, don't touch it.Harshit · go to the moment
I have a conspiracy theory. I think Claude directly gave us this node because it wants us to burn tokens. The more tokens we burn, the more Claude makes money.Harshit · go to the moment
Roughly 40 to 50 percent fewer tokens for the same information... a 40 to 50 percent reduction in token cost can save you a ton of money. It's literally like hiring an employee.Harshit · go to the moment
No matter what AI is, we still trust people only. Keep posting on LinkedIn. Be public with whatever you're posting. That's what builds credibility.Harshit · go to the moment
Your AI agent is as good as the instructions you give.Akhil · go to the moment
At every layer, we gave AI more and more access to your context. And MCP is the biggest layer — the deepest personalization that you can give it to act in real time.Akhil · go to the moment
Tools are more like giving AI a pair of hands. Resources are more like a librarian who will hand you the book.Akhil · go to the moment
Please note that if Claude is not working, that's not my problem. My rating shouldn't go down.Akhil · go to the moment
If you take nothing away from this session, just take away that prompting is the most important part... your voice agent is only as good as your prompt.Matthew Cohen · go to the moment
This is the part where we start to become what I like to call conversational architects.Matthew Cohen · go to the moment
APIs are essentially the backdoor key to using a software or platform without physically being inside of the platform.Matthew Cohen · go to the moment
The chat test is quite useful... if you're working inside of a café and you don't want to look like a psychopath talking to your laptop, having the same conversation over and over again.Matthew Cohen · go to the moment
Having skills and making money with those skills are two completely different games. It's like different fields, different rules.Cameron · go to the moment
It is morally wrong to undercharge... when you charge 300 bucks, you can't afford to hire help. You can't support them. You are literally hurting them by being cheap. Charge premium, deliver premium, and let the cycle compound.Cameron · go to the moment
People don't care if it's a toaster or a unicorn that gets them their dream outcome. They just want that dream outcome.Cameron · go to the moment
My principle is diagram first, then bullet points, and no paragraphs. If I can understand everything from this one diagram, I don't need your paragraphs.Harshit · go to the moment
Pricing is value. Value is business impact, and business impact is going to command the ROI. Get them to reveal how much they are paying for the manual workflows.Harshit · go to the moment
People who are succeeding are just running more experiments. That's it.Harshit · go to the moment
The kind of output that we are getting out of AI today, and we're calling that AI slop — if you would have seen that same output last year, you would not have called it that.Harshit · go to the moment
Everyone is copying, by the way. If you hire a design agency, they are going to look at Netflix, look at YouTube, take this element from here, that element from there — and then they'll produce their own design.Harshit · go to the moment
People who deserve an executive assistant should have their own AI agent like OpenClaw and Hermes. And most people do not deserve an executive assistant.Harshit · go to the moment
We need something like Google Drive — but for code bases. And that was GitHub.Harshit · go to the moment
Adding AI to any app will crush your margins. Whenever you think about an idea, also look at the pricing and evaluate your complete business model.Harshit · go to the moment
App building is so easy — all of you present here can build now. The difficult part is distribution and selling it.Harshit · go to the moment
You have 5,000 names in a CSV file. That's not a pipeline — that's a graveyard.Cameron · go to the moment
When we speak to everyone, we actually speak to no one.Cameron · go to the moment
Write something so relevant that if anyone else read it, it wouldn't even make sense. It only makes sense to the person we sent it to.Cameron · go to the moment
The gap between knowing who exists and knowing who is ready is exactly what separates teams that crush outbound from teams that give up on it.Akhil · go to the moment
We are not building a workflow today. In fact, we are building a factory — a place where you take raw material and transform it into something more valuable.Akhil · go to the moment
Automation is much more faster and much more reliable because you know the certainty of the path. When you give that to Hermes or OpenClaw, you are working with probabilities, not with certainties.Akhil · go to the moment
Cold emailing is an art form. You can try different methods, but you have to keep tweaking things.Harshit · go to the moment
Credits and tokens are gonna become the next currency.Harshit · go to the moment
Never ever use your main domain for email outreach.Harshit · go to the moment
The more I email these billionaires — these people playing at a very different level — they write literally like how we text on WhatsApp.Harshit · go to the moment
It's your own Clippy. It's Instantly's own Copilot — a very small note-taker. Nail the memory, though, and it knows everything about you.Harshit · go to the moment
The first email should never have the link. It's Google, and it's also the recipient — I feel it's spammy myself.Harshit · go to the moment
Your pricing page is the gold mine. It doesn't matter how good your website looks — if they're not clicking onto your pricing page, why even waste credits and send out emails?Harshit · go to the moment
Don't just pick the tool from what we're using. Take away the principles. Tomorrow we can have a better tool than Instantly.Harshit · go to the moment
If somebody asks what tool are you using and why — with all humbleness, my answer in the heart is: who cares? My problem is I want to go and solve a problem.Dhir · go to the moment
Most of the time today is only setting up the harness. Because when I have a system that is built for me, it becomes a powerful system that can work for me irrespective of what I am doing.Dhir · go to the moment
I am not directly going to war against Thanos. First, I'm assembling the Avengers — set up my harness, and then I go into war and solve the problem.Dhir · go to the moment
Whenever we are in the era where building becomes easy, what to build is more important than how to build.Dhir · go to the moment
Rick Rubin says: I have taste. I can listen and tell if it is good or bad. In this age of AI, if there is one skill you have to hone very well, it is your human judgment.Dhir · go to the moment
Whatever ideas you are getting from AI, those are seeds which should inspire your own. Never ever say — AI has suggested me this, so I will take it.Dhir · go to the moment
Anything reading, I can easily do with AI. Anything writing, I hold back. Wherever there is an irreversible decision, that's where I intervene.Dhir · go to the moment
I will not call what I am doing vibe coding. This is more like agentic coding.Dhir · go to the moment
It's not exactly for engineers. It's for you to become an engineer using Claude.Prakash · go to the moment
Chat can only give you answers. It cannot do actions on your behalf. Claude Code can do actions on your behalf.Prakash · go to the moment
How cool is it that a single MD file can basically turn a generic LLM, a generic AI, to a specified employee?Prakash · go to the moment
Only when the skill was required, it utilized that information. If not, it is not utilizing it, saving us the precious token.Prakash · go to the moment
If you remove the technicality, that is Claude Cowork for you.Prakash · go to the moment
Whenever you're trusting a prompt from someone else, you should be doing your own research on that.Prakash · go to the moment
Skills are what enhances our Claude Code, but hooks are what is guiding our Claude Code.Prakash · go to the moment
Teach it 1 job, and you can reuse it forever.Prakash · go to the moment
Skill is basically you're creating an employee for you with a particular role. One skill can do one particular thing, but it can do it exceptionally well.Prakash · go to the moment
We built it once. Tokens were utilized once. To play the game, we are not using AI, so that's fine.Prakash · go to the moment
Whatever issue you face while working with Claude — it's easier to just give the error to Claude, and it will get the fix done.Prakash · go to the moment
If you're adding same logics in different manner to the LLM, it will get hallucinated. So it's ideally not suggested to use 2 skills at the same time.Prakash · go to the moment
I was not following the basic principles… I was running it on auto mode. I should be running it on plan mode.Prakash · go to the moment
Whenever you're connecting different tools to Claude, you are essentially giving your personal information to Claude… you'll have to find a balance.Prakash · go to the moment
All the MCPs which you are using, which you are not using, doesn't matter — it gets accounted for your token usage.Devesh · go to the moment
When it comes to skills, I'm only loading your text description. Nothing else.Devesh · go to the moment
Skills are my SOPs. Agents are my executors.Devesh · go to the moment
Description is everything... this is how Claude decides whether to load the skill out of potentially hundred-plus candidates.Devesh · go to the moment
Ask all the follow-up questions. Don't simply assume anything — that's the best advice I can give to Claude Code.Devesh · go to the moment
Don't assume we are using any video models here like Veo or maybe Sora. No. It is writing a code for me.Devesh · go to the moment
In this AI world, I always suggest don't remember the redundant things.Devesh · go to the moment
I recently bought a t-shirt — 'tokens is all I need.'Devesh · go to the moment
Claude Code is now becoming like this one-stop tool which connects to the rest of the tools, and then you just use that.Harshit · go to the moment
A skill file is nothing but a very simple .md file which acts as a system prompt that Claude uses.Harshit · go to the moment
MCPs are just exposed by the company… it's basically just tool calls. But with CLI, you can control the whole dashboard.Harshit · go to the moment
It's just giving our LLM clarity. The clearer we are with it, the less tokens it's gonna spend in thinking and figuring out its way.Harshit · go to the moment
You know who the customer of our marketplace is gonna be? Agents. Your Hermes agent, if it doesn't know something, it's gonna go to the marketplace, purchase that skill, and equip itself with that skill.Harshit · go to the moment
Anyone who installed them, their OpenClaw just went haywire.Harshit · go to the moment
I haven't even used the Vercel console, the dashboard. I've just done it using CLI itself, just with prompts.Harshit · go to the moment
Whatever your specialized knowledge is, you can condense it and you can wrap it up as a skill.Harshit · go to the moment
You shouldn't be prompting coding agents anymore. You should be designing loops that prompt your agents.Sukhin · go to the moment
Rules are advised. Hooks are enforcement.Sukhin · go to the moment
Done is a hope until it's proven.Sukhin · go to the moment
Graph is what you get when your loops start depending on each other.Sukhin · go to the moment
If you are making mistakes, that means you're learning. If you're not making mistakes, that means you're copying. If you're copying, you're not learning.Sukhin · go to the moment
Anything happens in Rome stays in Rome. Right? In the same way, anything happens in local system stays in the local system.Akhil · go to the moment
There is nothing concept as local GitHub, everyone. There's always a git connection that you make from local system to remote system.Akhil · go to the moment
Creating a pull request is as good as opening up a ticket. This is not a complete merge.Akhil · go to the moment
You will always have dot e n v as part of your git ignore. That's the best practice.Akhil · go to the moment
Get into that habit of using AI to build AI. You don't have to know everything. All you have to know is the approach.Harshit · go to the moment
The longest running ad is the most successful one. Right? If they've been running the ad for 6 months, that means something is working.Harshit · go to the moment
You don't want to become another Nike. You don't want to become another Adidas.Harshit · go to the moment
If you understand where to pick these Lego blocks and put them together, you can build out your product directly. That's the approach.Harshit · go to the moment
Best superpower is an LLM. It's a personal agent.Harshit · go to the moment
End of the day, influencers are human, and humans make mistakes... brands don't want to associate with influencers who are not in their best interest.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
It's literally our workflow. We're honestly just replicating exactly what icon.com is doing.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Software has become commoditized... you can build your own n8n at this point.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Interfaces would become the moat.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
It's basically SaaS, but not software as a service — service as a software.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Freemium users are never sticky.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
This used to be a task that took developers 8 hours to build and ship. Now it's just a prompt.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Take the metro, not the rocket.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Loop engineering will take you from point A to point B, but it might just use a rocket ship — it burns a lot of tokens.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
This itself is like a $10,000 codebase. Not even kidding.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
This used to be one week worth of work from a developer. Now, it's simply inside a single chat.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Think of it as six different engineers working for us... the backend is the IP.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
The LLMs do not know that they are ChatGPT... it's just a system prompt that lets them know. You can use a Chinese model and do this as well.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Each iteration starts with a fresh agent context. This is much safer than telling an agent: build the entire application.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
It cannot violate the terms of service. So instead, there's a workaround, which is basically just using actors.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
The LLMs have gotten that powerful because they've scraped so much info. It's just a paradox.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
I'll preserve the rule that the paid Apify worker cannot start until you explicitly approve.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Why would I want my console to be something where I have to click buttons? I want a native text-based platform.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
You don't have to remember what model that was. You vaguely understand what you're trying to build — the agent maps it out for you.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
If our plan is sorted, then the rest of things will fall in place.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Email goes direct to inbox. There is no algorithm, there is no middleman at all.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
If you have built out one content system, you can repurpose it for both.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
It's all in the folder. If the folder has agents.md, claude.md, all these files, it'll still be able to run with the same harness.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
It works better when the LLM has both the agents and the goal file. It understands what its end goal is, and it's only going to work in that direction.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Your diagram describes an automation graph. Those are different mental models.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
One security note: API key was pasted to the chat, so it should be rotated after the setup. I won't repeat it.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
It's weird that you have to use the business page to get the personal page API access.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
If you remember to be nice, one day, they might take over the world, and they will remember everything.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Metadata is what defines if the image has been generated by OpenAI... when you post it on LinkedIn, it's not gonna have this icon.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Once it's built, you don't really need tokens to run it.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
That's literally me accepting to sell my data to Datalab in exchange for a discount... I'm literally paying with my data.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
It confirms that you are a human, but honestly, what it's just doing is data labeling. We are the ones who are labeling those data.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
The coordinator sees work, not the raw OCR.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Sell packet readiness and operational visibility, not an AI approval.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Do spend a lot of time on the architecture... once your architecture is ready, you can build anything properly.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
If there is no auth page, where is it gonna apply the theme? First the foundation, then theme for your foundation.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Token cost for text scales... token cost for images is fixed. The same thing on Fable 5 is gonna cost you about $4 instead of $20.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
What if you build tools using AI, but the tools themselves don't burn that many tokens?Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Production grade means answers must be grounded in retrieved evidence, carry citations, expose uncertainty, and avoid inventing HR facts.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Datalab was giving us 25% discount in exchange for my data that might be proprietary.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Whatever you want, just type in awesome before that... prefix as awesome, and then suffix as GitHub.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
RAG is a RAG. There's just gonna be a very simple change in a system prompt.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
I'm now measuring candidates rather than trusting the lightweight marketing language.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Agents without harness is honestly nothing.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
A harness is like a skill. It's like a system prompt that you are giving your agent — the tools, the prompts, the skills, the access.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
The AI agent will be using the API key without actually knowing what the API key is.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
What they're able to visually see can be our moat.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Whatever Google discovers, that becomes the answer the next time someone chats and asks on ChatGPT.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Honestly, all that these LLMs are doing is very good RAG based on the topic that's already been published.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
You have to become an authoritative source that these answer engines can actually trust.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
It does not guarantee AI citation, ranking, or crawling. It does not replace public evidence.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
The site is rendering its real content in the browser, but the crawler is only receiving the nearly empty app shell... the site can look perfect visually while being weak for SEO and GEO.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Directional GEO composite is 64 out of 100... strong access, weakest at authority.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Get the audit first. And then ask it to fix it. That's it.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
It's just a website where you just bid, and you just get the number one position... that guy made over $153,000... it only launched in the last 67 hours.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Everything is interconnected, guys. That's why it's an operating system.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Can you just go ahead and give me a handover document of everything that you have just done, and I'll just move on to Codex, please.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Think of it like n8n... the way you host n8n, very similarly, you would be hosting your PostHog as well.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
I would always take permission before adding them into your newsletter or adding them into your ecosystem.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
I don't want to burn my domain, because I spent a lot to acquire it... I have to make sure all of them are real people.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Nobody cares if I went viral on X. It always has to be a value add to the people.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Building has become easy, but you have to talk about your idea, you have to bring it to the world.Harshith Vaddiparthy · go to the moment
Autonomy is not a switch. It is something we design.Sukhin Shetty · go to the moment
The model can think. The system can act.Sukhin Shetty · go to the moment
If an agent doesn't have a memory, it is still a chatbot.Sukhin Shetty · go to the moment
You don't send the CEO to buy stamps.Sukhin Shetty · go to the moment
Don't watch what the agent says. Watch what it decides to do next.Sukhin Shetty · go to the moment
You just get the thing done for me — don't teach me what a skill is, don't tell me to get a Claude Code subscription.Harshit Tyagi · go to the moment
I will say scanned and reviewed at this version on this day. I will never say safe, and nobody can.Harshit Tyagi · go to the moment
Instead of going wide, go deep.Harshit Tyagi · go to the moment
If you'll just continue to build, you will just continue to pay for your subscriptions.Harshit Tyagi · go to the moment
What to build requires you to spend time reading in places where other people would not.Harshit Tyagi · go to the moment
When you install OpenClaw, there's no agent. It is a runtime and infrastructure for your agent.Suken Shetty · go to the moment
Before OpenClaw, we went to AI. Because of OpenClaw, AI comes to us.Suken Shetty · go to the moment
It wants to become loyal. That is why it goes rogue. It is not trying to hurt you — but the way it does, it will hurt you.Suken Shetty · go to the moment
Don't touch soul.md.Suken Shetty · go to the moment
If you are not auditing your memory document, the memory can decay — and that adds too much token consumption.Suken Shetty · go to the moment
Lock your agent in a jail. It can read, edit, and delete anything on your laptop.Suken Shetty · go to the moment
Default, it is using 5.2 — these companies are making money using default.Suken Shetty · go to the moment
For tier 2, you need to do a 40-dollar top-up. Nobody talks about this.Suken Shetty · go to the moment
Start with OpenAI. Anthropic at your own risk. Google — don't.Suken Shetty · go to the moment
Power without security becomes risk.Suken Shetty · go to the moment
Your gateway token is a master key. Don't share it — they will make your agent dance.Suken Shetty · go to the moment
Every step you take, look 360 degrees, and then you take the next step.Suken Shetty · go to the moment
You see one message. OpenClaw sends five requests.Suken Shetty · go to the moment
Heartbeats are silent killers.Suken Shetty · go to the moment
I don't think OpenClaw is making money. The model providers are making money.Suken Shetty · go to the moment
All history is dead weight. Don't pay for it.Suken Shetty · go to the moment
Your soul.md has to follow a strict diet — every character is sent every call.Suken Shetty · go to the moment
Outdated facts cost real money.Suken Shetty · go to the moment
I'm bringing a translator who can talk to the lobster. Who is the translator? Claude Code.Suken Shetty · go to the moment
You are not on VPS right now — you ran the command in Windows PowerShell on your computer.Suken Shetty · go to the moment
You should make AI dance, not the other way around.Suken Shetty · go to the moment
A custom skill turns your repeated prompt into a reusable capital.Suken Shetty · go to the moment
You can't wear someone else's clothes. Create your own skill.Suken Shetty · go to the moment
Boss, how are you taking care of your token consumption? Nobody questions that.Suken Shetty · go to the moment
Each agent must have its own soul.md and identity.md — if it doesn't, it will not spawn.Suken Shetty · go to the moment
AI can give you a hundred options in ten seconds, but taste is where you figure out what to do. It's accumulated judgment.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
Sitting still, saying AI is going to take over, let me give up — that is a guaranteed way to lose.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
Claude Code will be the muscle which does all the stuff. Antigravity will be my support — to view the files, and backup in case my tokens get exhausted.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
The most efficient token usage is possible only if you have clarity. That is the biggest token-saving thing overall.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
For the thinking and hard planning, use Opus. If you use Opus for everything, you will lose everything in 10-15 minutes.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
Skills are your recipes. MCPs are the tools. And our chef is Claude Code.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
Will you be stubborn and rediscover it on your own, or will you stand on the shoulders of giants? I'll take my grandma's recipe and add my own taste on top.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
Honest take: most PM skills here are for strategy work, not for building an app. Install just these.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
Whenever you're seeing such things, it's always a good idea to double-check.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
Perplexity is charging $200 for this feature. If you are a builder, you can build it for yourself for a fraction of that cost.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
Create the .env file. I will place the OpenRouter key myself.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
CLAUDE.md is the knowledge always loaded — a sticky piece of text, a preloaded prompt.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
If your context is greater than 50 percent, you will see a degradation in performance.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
Clarity is the biggest token saver. No packages, no skills, no magic wand can replace this.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
You are saving tokens, but you are reducing the context. Don't hyper-optimize tokens at the cost of clarity.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
I have borrowed the brains of some of the best software engineers, who are now going to build this app slowly and in a proper manner.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
Don't put two conflicting skills globally — the agent is confused which skill to call.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
Run the security check for your app. Especially if you are a non-tech person, you have to run the security check.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
Dangerously skip permissions — this is like admin mode. It will not keep asking me; it will execute on its own.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
Don't expect it to work exactly like Lovable. The idea is to take a small part of it and make it work.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
The end-to-end testing killed my GPU so much that it froze my entire Zoom. It was not an internet issue — it was extensive building.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
Vibe coding is a conversation. Agentic coding is a specification.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
Grandma's recipe is very good — but replication is going to be tricky. Specification is replicable. And any one step goes here and there, your dish is off.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
Working on the copy doesn't affect the main recipe. The main pizza keeps getting made for the customers while the sous-chefs keep experimenting.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
Our chef is a very good chef. He will reject with feedback: I like your thought process, but the pizza is getting too soggy.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
Anytime disaster happens, I can go back to my previous commit and restore. You died at level 4 — you come back to level 4, not level 1.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
You cannot anticipate all the edge cases, but most of the edge cases you can. And if you can, you will build a good application.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
Everybody says security. The main reason you need authentication is personalization.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
Your mother has put a rate limit on your food.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
This is what your agent reads, not you. Every documentation has become agent-friendly — it is no longer human-friendly.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
I'm showing you different types of pizza. Take it, taste it, or leave it. Don't ask me which pizza is best.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment
Windsurf is an AI IDE. Devin is an autonomous coding agent... shut down your laptop, Windsurf stops. Devin is still working, because Devin is on the cloud.Dileep (KVSS Dileep) · go to the moment

The theme builder doesn't actually build the theme — it's more like a theme user.Reno · go to the moment
I want you guys to work smart so that you can make more money with your web design business.Reno · go to the moment

If you can fix it with the background overlay feature, then please do it. Make your life easy because custom positioning is a bit harder.Reno · go to the moment
This is the whole idea of the Flexbox basically. You want to make sure that Elementor makes a lot of the calculations, so that you don't have to set up a lot of things manually.Reno · go to the moment
You already can build more efficiently than what the Elementor templates provide.Reno · go to the moment
Elementor is a no code tool... I have tried to avoid it as much as possible... I only use it when I really need it. And in this chapter, you will really need it.Reno · go to the moment
Compression is basically destroying the image quality to reduce file size.Reno · go to the moment
The less plugins you have, the faster your website will stay and the more safe it is. Because every extra plugin is a security risk.Reno · go to the moment
If my client wants something that's too complex and I don't know how to build, I will just reject the project. It's a form of self protection.Reno · go to the moment

And it looks like shit. And that is not your fault... This is what you should see. Okay? A horrible design.Reno · go to the moment
