Max In Progress

In progress. From pharmaceuticals to the digital space. Building, learning, and exploring in public. AI • Crypto • Trading
Been playing around with v0 to build a personal site, mostly out of curiosity. At this point, it shouldn’t surprise me, but in 2–3 prompts it was already a full-blown website. But my prompts didn’t work well when I was overly specific. Giving the AI some creative freedom…
As a beginner developer, my current flow is: • GPT → prompting & thinking things through • Cursor → main IDE • v0 → UI generation • Vercel → hosting & deployment Early days, but this setup makes the learning curve feel manageable.
Still on the fence about setting up OpenClaw, but it’s getting harder to justify not starting.
12 days ago, I decided to start posting on X. No plan. Just showing up. I started on the 29th Jan and just hit 100 followers. That genuinely means a lot, so thank you if you’re one of them. I work a 9–5, so most days I only have 1–2 hours here. I try to use that time properly…
I can't believe it. I was trying to use GPT-5.2, Sonnet 4.5, and Gemini 3 Pro to extract trading backtesting results from screenshots that I had. Normally, this is done via OCR or other image recognition methods, and NONE of them executed it accurately. I'm flabbergasted. It…
The first thing I do when I open my laptop now is open X. Funny how quickly habits change.
Caught up with some friends over dinner and crypto came up. Every one of us is down ~40%. You’re not alone in this. If we stick it out and keep perspective, we’ll be alright.
Crypto: -50% Savings account: +5–6% I chose… character development.
Not to brag, but out of all the bullish markets in 2025, I still managed to pick the bearish one. Will 2026 be any different?
Making a conscious effort to engage more on X lately. With a 9–5, I usually cap out at 10–20 replies a day. The real challenge is increasing output without letting quality slip. That balance isn’t easy.
Crazy how fast time goes when you’re locked in. Blinked and 3 hours were gone. There goes my evening. See you tomorrow.
Today was mostly about figuring out how I actually want to build. I tried Codex, and while it’s powerful, it made me realise something as a beginner. I don’t always want to be in the weeds telling AI exactly what to write. I’m looking for tools that feel a bit more agentic,…
Tried v0 for the first time today and honestly didn’t expect much. 3 prompts later, I had a pretty solid landing page. Used GPT to help think through and create the prompts, v0 to actually build it. I’ve seen a lot circulating around Codex so I’m going to try it out to…
I still can’t believe how strict large corporations are around AI usage at work. Even basic guardrails could unlock significant growth.
Had a moment at work today. Saw people 20+ years older than me, still doing the same job, the same routine. Made me realise I don’t want to wake up in 20 years wishing I’d tried something different. Scratch that — even waking up next week wishing I didn’t make the most of this…
Some days you build. Some days you research. Some days you just sit with what you’ve learned and let it settle. Today was one of those days.
A few years ago I was doing a pharmaceutical degree, spending hours every day in the lab. Now I’m trying to make it in the digital space. Sometimes I wish I’d found this world earlier. But maybe the timing is part of the story.
