I was on the bus on my way to an important business meeting about the exponential growth of my MRR, when suddenly I noticed some troublemakers were hassling an old lady. Their caps were on backwards, their clothes were baggy, and probably thought the grindset was about skateboarding.

I had to act. I opened my macbook and showed Claude what was happening. “Claude, we gotta do something!”, I said. “You’re absolutely right!”, Claude affirmed in a calm and confident font, and thanks to --dangerously-skip-permissions, it had started coding before I had even thought about what to do. It was “cannoodling”, which I think is one of the good ones.

Just as they started listening to music without headphones, Claude was finished. No time. “We gotta deploy this now!”, I typed as fast I could think. “Way ahead of you! It’s up on http://localhost:8080/, it should hack their phones any moment!” It had barely finished printing the message before their phones lit up.

They saw the message, a sepia studio ghibli style AI infographic educating them about the error in their ways. They realized they were missing out on MRR growth, they weren’t on a track to an IPO like Dario and Cybertrucks and Dario, but toward irrelevancy, in the same column as Kodak and Penny Farthings. In months, AI would be hassling old ladies 100x faster than they could, and they’d be out of reason for being. “Oh man, we’re screwed!” they said. I gave them my card, link to my $1400 course on how to build an old lady hassling empire with AI. They sat down. The old lady thanked me for helping her. The bus applauded. John Carmack stepped forward an personally thanked me. He had tried as well, but he just wasn’t fast enough. He may be a 10X developer he laughed, but he was no 100X developer. He showed me his macbook: He was barely through choosing a react template.

The bus stopped, and Bill Gates stepped away from the steering wheel. It wasn’t a bus at all, but a yacht. I’d been pranked. This was my graduation from the grind. I’d made it. He gave me the yacht as thanks. The old lady was actually Jeff Bezos, he was in on the prank. He acquired my business immediately and now I’m sipping on champagne bottles. All thanks to Claude.

The punks, by the way, were played by Elon Musk and Sam Altman. I didn’t even recognize them in their baggy clothes. Really important insights about growth and preconceptions this morning.
