Why AI Coding Feels So Hard
|
Hey Reader, You know why building with AI feels so damn hard? It's not because you're not technical enough. It's not because the tools are too complicated. It's because everything changes every 48 hours. A new model drops. New tool launches. Someone on Twitter says Cursor is dead. Someone else says Claude Code is the future. Then Antigravity does something. Then Codex gets an update. And you're sitting there thinking... "What the hell am I supposed to use?" I Just Proved This (The Hard Way)For the last 18 days, I went all-in on my Claude Code challenge. Testing. Experimenting. Comparing. Learning. I was excited. I was discovering things. It was so much fun! And then yesterday I looked up and realized something terrifying. I haven't shipped a single thing in almost three weeks. My revenue this month... well, let's just say it shows. I got so caught up in experimenting that I forgot to actually build. Sound familiar? Here's The Dirty TruthAfter 18 days of obsessive testing, here's what no YouTuber or Twitter account wants to tell you: The tool doesn't actually matter. I'm dead serious. You can build the same apps I build with the free version of Antigravity. Or cheap Chinese models like GLM 4.7. And you know what actually makes money? Keeping your head down. Learning. Shipping. Results. For you, your business, and your clients. The Paralysis Is the ProblemIt's not the tools - here's what actually matters. Different tools fit different phases. That's it. Just starting? Use Cursor, Windsurf, or Antigravity. Visual. Simple. No terminal nightmares. Deep into learning and debugging already? Claude Code and Codex win. $100-200/month for near unlimited tokens is unbeatable value when you're burning through credits. Know what you're doing? Cursor's value skyrockets again because you're efficient with it, and you learn to love the pro features that only Cursor offers. Pick the right tool for the phase that you're in.
Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed by AI? You want a proven process that actually works? No clickbait, wasting hours on tutorials that don't work for you? A community of likeminded builders focused on learning and shipping? You're gonna love the AI Builder's Blueprint (Includes 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee) What I Use NowI'm ending the 18-day experiment early today, because it just cost me money. But here's what I'm using now:
That's it. This is the best of the best combo for my workflow. The best AI coder is the one you actually use to ship something. Pick one. Go all in. Build the thing. Talk soon, |

Hey Reader, Just made it to Thailand, and while drinking my first coconut... 🥥 I saw someone on X asking how to set up AI coding tools for non-technical people. Funny enough, I currently teach my wife how to build her first app without writing any code. And this simple trick helped her do it. One simple paragraph. That's it. My wife Diana testing her iOS app on her iPhone 17 Pro Max The Simple Trick I keep telling my Blueprint students ALL the time to use this. It just works so well that I...
Hey Reader, It's been two months since I updated the list, so let's quickly take a look at what's new. A little context: it has been significantly simplified. I really only use GPT-5.3 Codex High and Extra High (Fast if in Cursor) for almost everything. It requires you to be a little more aware of your prompting and your goals, and to ask the right questions. But it is the smartest AI model, and it is not even close. There's a huge shift in the industry right now, with people switching away...
Hey Reader, Last week I built a mobile app, a Mac desktop app, and a web app. From scratch. I still can't believe I'm typing this. But it happened. And it was WAY easier than any developer will ever admit. Here's what I built and what I learned. #1 - MacroPulse (Web App) I had this old project gathering dust. A daily financial tracker that gives you one "pulse" every day about what's happening in the markets. No doom-scrolling. No anxiety. Just the essentials. But the old version was a mess....
