Stop Fighting About LLMs and Start Matching Models
Months of testing proves the “best” LLM doesn’t exist. Real skill is matching the right model to the task – and most people waste time arguing instead of learning.
Your Prompt Engineering Skills Matter More Than Your LLM
Testing different LLMs for coding taught me this: the model matters less than knowing how to break down problems and write specific prompts. Claude explains, GPT-5 generates, Copilot flows.
Your Success Story Might Be Someone Else’s Script
Successful businessman has everything, feels like total failure. Turns out legacy isn’t what happens after you die – it’s what you do today. That’ll mess with your head.
Your Tiny Choices Actually Change Everything
Small daily choices matter more than grand gestures. Thank you notes, reusable bottles, less meat – regular people making tiny shifts create lasting change.
Your Daily Choices Matter More Than Your Eulogy
Legacy isn’t what people say at your funeral – it’s what you’re building through daily choices right now. This book tears apart everything you think matters.
Small Gestures Beat Grand Plans Every Single Time
You don’t need a grand plan to make things better. Small actions – the thank you note, the conversation, the reusable bag – add up to actual change. Plus they make your life less hollow.
Why Time Speeds Up And How Empathy Slows It
Studying empathy for twenty years taught me why time speeds up as we age – and how paying attention to other people’s micro-expressions can literally slow it back down.
Your Weirdness Is Your Competitive Advantage Actually
A book that reframes failure as growth invitations you can’t decline and argues your weirdness is actually your biggest asset – not the fluffy self-help you’d expect.
How Gratitude Rewires Your Brain For Kindness
Gratitude doesn’t just make you feel good – it rewires your brain to see people differently. Three practices turn appreciation into genuine empathy and kindness.
Thank You Notes Rewired My Brain Chemistry
Writing thank-you notes rewired my brain in an unexpected way – gratitude and empathy feed each other, creating an upward spiral that literally changes how we connect.
How To Slow Down Time Using Your Mind
You can actually change how you experience time – not by doing more, but by slowing down inside through presence and cognitive empathy to make life feel less chaotic.
How Empathy Slows Down Time And Stops Racing
Ever feel like time is slipping away? Discover how cognitive empathy doesn’t just help you understand others – it actually slows down time and makes you present.
When To Iterate Versus Start Fresh Coding
After 30+ years in code and 8 years in AI, here’s the difference between getting stuck and getting results: knowing when to iterate vs when to start fresh.
The Real AI Skill After 30 Years
After 30 years of coding, I finally figured out the real AI skill that matters: breaking problems into pieces AI can handle, not chasing the latest tools or models.
LLM Choice Matters Less Than Prompt Engineering
After 30+ years coding and 8 years in AI, I’ve learned everyone focuses on which LLM is best, but misses what really matters: knowing how to talk to it properly.
AI Prompts: When To Iterate Versus Restart
30+ years of coding taught me this about AI prompts: it’s not about finding the “perfect” prompt, it’s knowing when to iterate vs start over completely.
Why Most People Fail At AI Prompting
Most people prompt AI once and hope for the best. The real skill is knowing when to refine versus when to scrap everything and start over.
Stop Perfecting Prompts Start Breaking Them Apart
After 30 years coding and 8 years in AI, I learned the key skill isn’t perfect prompts – it’s knowing when to keep tweaking vs starting fresh. Break prompts into pieces.
Why Your AI Prompts Fail Every Time
Stop asking AI giant messy questions and expecting clean answers. Break problems into small chunks first, then prompt each piece separately. 30+ year coder shares the one technique that made AI actually useful for real work.
Stop Saying Things You’ll Regret Forever
You know that feeling when anger takes over and you say something you can’t take back? Here’s a four-step method to shift from reactivity to clarity.
Why Some Developers Master AI Coding Tools
Most developers struggle with AI coding tools while others dominate. After 30 years coding, I found it’s not about the smartest model – it’s how you use them.
When Should You Rewrite Your AI Prompts?
Know when to tweak your AI prompts vs starting fresh? I treat prompt engineering like software development – iterate when you’re close, reboot when the foundation is broken.
AI Mastery Through Iteration Beats Perfect Prompts
After 8 years with AI, I’ve learned the secret isn’t perfect prompts – it’s iteration. Treat each response as feedback, refine your approach, and know when to start over.
Why Most People Fail At AI Prompting
After 8 years with AI, I finally figured out why some people get great results while others just get frustrated: they’re trying to solve everything at once instead of breaking it down.
Stop Fancy Prompts Start Breaking Down Problems
Breaking complex coding problems into smaller chunks gets better AI results than fancy prompts. After 30+ years coding, I’ve learned the real skill is decomposition, not prompt engineering.
AI Coding Assistants Aren’t About Best Tools
After 30 years coding and 8 in AI, I learned there’s no “best” coding assistant – just the right match for your task. Context matters more than capabilities, and mastering how you work with AI beats picking the fanciest tool.
When To Iterate Prompts Versus Starting Over
Knowing when to iterate a prompt versus starting over mirrors debugging versus refactoring code. I break down the exact signals that tell you which path to take.
The One AI Skill That Changes Everything
After 30 years coding and 8 in AI, I’ve found one skill that changes everything: breaking problems into clean chunks before asking AI for help. Most people skip this step and wonder why their results are messy.
Gratitude Is Built Not Felt Through Empathy
I discovered gratitude isn’t something you feel – it’s something you build. My Practical Empathy Practice starts with understanding what I actually need, then extends that same awareness to others.
How To Build Gratitude When Life Gets Hard
I thought gratitude just happened naturally until life got messy. Turns out you can actually grow it on purpose by tuning into feelings and values – yours and others. Here’s how it works.
