The uncomfortable truth: AI isn't coming — it's here. And it's not replacing "jobs," it's replacing tasks. The people who survive (and thrive) are the ones who can do what AI can't, or who can use AI to 10x what they already do.
Why coding + AI literacy matter:
1. Coding is the new literacy. Not everyone needs to be a software engineer, but understanding how things work — APIs, automation, logic — is the difference between being the person who uses tools and the person who gets used by them.
2. AI amplifies skill, it doesn't replace it. A mediocre carpenter with AI is still mediocre. A great carpenter with AI can design, quote, schedule, and deliver faster than a crew of 10 could five years ago. Your edge isn't coding OR your trade — it's coding AND your trade.
3. The earning gap is about to get brutal. Right now, people who can prompt an LLM, automate workflows, or build a simple script are already earning 2-3x more per hour than people doing the same job manually. In 5 years, that gap will be 10x. The choice isn't "learn AI or don't" — it's "learn AI or accept a permanent pay cut."
4. Your competition isn't AI, it's people using AI. If you're a contractor and the guy down the street can bid jobs in 30 seconds using AI-generated quotes and material lists, and you're still doing it in Excel, you're already losing. The market doesn't care about fairness — it cares about speed and cost.
5. You already have the hardest skill: judgment. AI is a tool. It can't decide what's worth building, who to trust, or what makes a project "good." That's still you. But if you don't know how to use the tool, your judgment doesn't matter — someone else will execute faster.
Bottom line:
Investing time in AI + coding isn't about becoming a techbro. It's about staying employable, competitive, and in control of your income in a world where the baseline just shifted under everyone's feet.
The people who ignore this will spend the next decade wondering why they're working harder for less. The people who lean in will spend it wondering why they didn't start sooner.
Your move.

If you think Bitcoin is an investment, you already missed the point.
It’s insurance against endless debt, central planning, and people who spend money they don’t have in your name.
Bitcoin isn’t alpha.
It’s the escape hatch.


How about all the lazy fucks who thought they could make a profession out of buying bitcoin with a corporate wrapper because the number was going up😂🤣
You wasted a year of your life that you could have been developing actual skills.
Good morning. I created a AI automated daily newsletter for family and friends that scrapes ESPN and CNBC for the top articles, writes a snarky little recap and creates an image. n8n
In a week where both markets and footballs were up in the air, Miami pulled off a heart-stopping 31-27 victory over Ole Miss in the CFP semifinal, proving that sometimes the best investments are in last-minute scrambles.
Meanwhile, China's attempting its own comeback drive in the property sector, with rumors of support measures coming faster than a Carson Beck quarterback sneak. The difference? Miami actually executed their game plan.
Trump's taking shots at institutional homebuyers in Sun Belt markets like Atlanta and Jacksonville, apparently forgetting that playing monopoly with houses went out of style faster than the wildcat formation.
In a plot twist worthy of a bowl game highlight reel, Washington QB Demond Williams Jr. pulled the ultimate transfer portal fake-out - announcing his departure only to stick around faster than a day trader's buy-sell order.
Stocks are making moves in extended trading hours, with General Motors and Intel showing more direction changes than Ole Miss's offensive strategy. At least Ray Lewis showed up to offer some motivation - though we're pretty sure his pep talks work better for football than for falling property values.
The real MVP might be China's flagship journal Qiushi, desperately trying to quarterback a property market recovery before their March meeting. But unlike Miami's championship hopes, this comeback story's still very much in doubt.

Saylor is anti-individual and, by extension, anti-Bitcoin.
Bitcoin doesn’t scale as a corporate asset, it resists it.
Its value comes from individuals choosing it precisely because it lives outside traditional finance.
Trying to warehouse coins to recreate banks, derivatives, and securities isn’t adoption.
It’s an attack on Bitcoin’s self-sovereign incentives and eventually price because that’s why most of you own it to begin with. It’s sad to see
