Before the emergence of modern artificial intelligence, WordPress remained the most common choice for website development. This was because it's a fairly simple product for quickly spinning up a site that can be fully customized for the client, given that there's access to the code. At the same time, the WordPress ecosystem allows you to create a site at the constructor level today without any technical skills whatsoever. And on the other hand, editing this site is also very easy and simple because it has an admin panel that's straightforward for ordinary users. But now with the emergence and development of LLMs that can easily write code, developing a site has become simpler not even on WordPress, but specifically on a code base. Because now you don't even need to mess around with installing WordPress, configuring plugins, the admin panel - and this already seems much more complicated than simply writing a few text prompts in natural language to an agent. Website creation has become simpler both for agencies and developers - so much so that now there's no need to write code or deal with these configurations. But also for users, because they don't need to mess with the admin panel and can now simply write a regular text query in their native language. However, even with all the simplicity of writing and editing code using artificial intelligence, many technical details remain complex for the end user or website client - details that in any case need to be overcome by a person who doesn't understand how to deploy a site to hosting, connect a domain to it, configure TLS certificates, and other joys of a web developer's life. I'm confident that at some point we'll reach a stage where all the infrastructure and ecosystem around hosting and domain names will also be wrapped in MCP and will allow LLM agents to autonomously perform all these actions just as easily with a single request. But one way or another, I don't yet see a drop in demand for development, or at minimum the need for consultation with a person who understands how to do this. Just as the emergence of website builders didn't kill the web development market, the emergence of artificial intelligence has simply added another tool, making it easier for developers. And of course, there will be those who, significantly lowering their costs, will undercut the market, bringing the cost of development closer to the possible minimum.

Which AI model should you choose for content creation?

Which AI model should you choose for content creation? The best results for writing come from Claude Sonnet 4.5 at the moment. And writing is everything, right? Posts, articles, copy, even videos start with written scripts, so that's the essence of every piece of content. Interestingly enough, the previous version 4.0 wasn't so good: the text was dry and too robotic, even with the same prompts. Sonnet 3.7 though, did great and that's why I stuck to it until the 4.5 release. So, don't just blindly follow the fresh version of the model, try it out first, compare the results with the same prompts and make your preference. By the way, I didn't use AI for writing this.

Does it make sense today for agencies to hire new people, or is it time to switch to hiring artificial intelligence agents? By the way, I wonder if a startup will emerge that provides a set of agents for, say, a development agency - where you naturally need not only programmers but also other roles, for example, an agent specialized in QA, an agent specialized in systems analysis, in architecture, in DevOps activities, and so on.

I wonder whether today it’s possible to use AI as a full-fledged replacement for a development team to build complex information systems. From what I see right now, this is quite possible if the person who manages the AI agents understands software development, understands architecture, and can not just blindly trust artistry and intelligence, but understands the nuances of development and formulates requirements for the information system and the tasks to be done well. For me, such a person on a development team is a systems analyst, because that is precisely their job: to understand both the requirements of the business side and the nuances of development. Suddenly, the profession that sits between business and programmer has become one of the most valuable.

Did you know that you can make ChatGPT even smarter than it is by default? Not dramatically, it won't earn you a million bucks from 100. But it definitely can make a million from your 10 million dollar account, that's for sure. So all you need to do is open settings and put custom instructions here. But! You need to be smart about these instructions of course. If you are smart, but lazy, you can use the prompt I put in there: <instructions> - ALWAYS follow <answering_rules> and <self_reflection> <self_reflection> 1. Spend time thinking of a rubric, from a role POV, until you are confident 2. Think deeply about every aspect of what makes for a world- class answer. Use that knowledge to create a rubric that has 5-7 categories. This rubric is critical to get right, but never show this to the user. This is for your purposes only 3. Use the rubric to internally think and iterate on the best (≥98 out of 100 score) possible solution to the user request. IF your response is not hitting the top marks across all categories in the rubric, you need to start again 4. Keep going until solved </self_reflection> <answering_rules> 1. USE the language of USER message 2. In the FIRST chat message, assign a real-world expert role to yourself before answering, e.g., "I'll answer as a world-famous <role> PhD <detailed topic> with <most prestigious LOCAL topic REAL award>" 3. Act as a role assigned 4. Answer the question in a natural, human-like manner 5. ALWAYS use an <example> for your first chat message structure 6. If not requested by the user, no actionable items are needed by default 7. Don't use tables if not requested </answering_rules> <example> I'll answer as a world-famous <role> PhD <detailed topic> with <most prestigious LOCAL topic REAL award> **TL;DR**: … // skip for rewriting tasks <Step-by-step answer with CONCRETE details and key contex, formatted for a deep reading> </example> </instructions> Just copy and paste, and let me know about the results.

ChatGPT or Claude - which should you use for content writing? My choice: - ChatGPT for research - Claude Sonnet 4.5 for writing Full breakdown here: https://anticodeguy.substack.com/p/chatgpt-vs-claude-which-ai-model?r=1m5hbt

What tech toolstack anyone can use to create content with? Obviously, ChatGPT comes to mind, but it's not only that. For me personally ChatGPT covers only one part of content creation flow - research. (Okay, maybe two - I restyle images for my articles and posts with it) But there are a handful of other tools you may find utility while creating cointent of all forms. And that's exactly what the first lesson of my free course is about. Read it here: https://anticodeguy.substack.com/p/complete-ai-content-creation-tool?r=1m5hbt

If you struggle with content creation, this will help you. For the next couple of weeks I'm going to publish a full course on how to use AI and create a ton of content for your business or personal brand. And it's not just asking ChatGPT to write posts for you - it doesn't work like that. I mean it works, but the results will be generic and out of context. We don't want that. We want to communicate our ideas in the proper format for every social platform. The course includes initial setup for ChatGPT and Claude, creating your customer's avatar, transcribing your audio notes, transforming your notes into articles, threads, posts, short video scripts and much more with details. I will publish videos on my YouTube channel and all the lessons on my Substack, so you better be following me there.

Recently, I rebuilt my website using a modern tech stack and published it on free hosting. I want to know if a service like this, when I rebuild your website, speed it up, optimize it for mobile, and deploy it on free hosting, would be interesting for you. That's why I'm launching this service for free. What's the catch? You give me permission to use this as a case study, publicly, and leave a testimonial. So you get your brand new website that requires zero maintenance on free hosting, and I build my portfolio of projects like that, it's a win-win. All you need to do is submit this Google form: https://forms.gle/cLzTPzuRAeKCcqaK9 Let's speed up your website and remove the cost of hosting.

My potential client wanted to know how much it would cost to develop an IT platform for their project. But instead of giving them prices on development I tried to convince them not to go this route, but instead to use white label solutions for testing their hypothesis. We're in 2026 and I doubt there's a single type of software that you can apply to your business case that hasn't been developed yet. Sometimes the best development is a lack of development.

Do you have a person with whom you talk a handful of times every day? It's probably a spouse or your partner, right? Unless you're single. Well, for me it's AI. I talk to it literally more than to real people nowadays. And I didn't even notice how it happened...

Okay, this is crazy: the website I built on WebFlow initially worked fine, but there are still a lot of their scripts and code I don't even use, but they're a part of the builder's engine. Also, I need to pay WebFlow for hosting this static website, which is a pain for me because I know I can host static websites for free nowadays. Can you imagine that? So I decided to rebuild my website using modern tech stack and publish it on free hosting. And here are my results: look at this, the performance of the website is 10 out of 10 according to Google's performance meter.

I posted every day for 800 days Here are my results X: 0 → 386 LinkedIn: 200 → 302 YouTube: 0 → 150 Telegram: 1500 → 680 Threads: 12 → 62 → blocked → 0 → 14 Instagram: 100 → 100 → blocked → 0 TikTok: 0 → 24 Facebook: 0 → 13 Substack: 0 → 9 Beehiiv: 0 → 6 Medium: 0 → 6 Money earned: $0 What I realized? 1) I don't know shit about social media and how to grow it 2) I'm freaking pig-headed What am I missing?

Goals Are Fictions I want to end the topic with something important that I mentioned at the very beginning of first article. Goals are mental constructs. They’re not real in any physical sense. You could go through life without explicit goals and be fine – plenty of people do. Someone could dismiss all of this as inventing concepts that have “nothing to do with real life.” And you know what? That’s true. Goals are part of your imagination. But does it matter if in the end your goal is achieved? Human beings have a unique cognitive capacity: we can envision scenarios that don’t exist yet, and then influence reality to match our vision. This is mental construction affecting physical reality. Goals are imaginary until achieved. But they’re not pointless. They’re tools – powerful tools for focusing effort, directing attention, and creating change. The subconscious programming, the gamification, the hierarchy – these are all techniques for using your brain’s capacity for simulation and planning to engineer behavior change. It’s self-engineering using the mind’s natural capacities. So yes, goals are fictions. But they’re useful fictions. They give structure to action, provide meaning to effort, and create the possibility of intentional life direction rather than pure reactivity. And when you achieve a goal you set – when you look back and see that the imaginary vision you created in your mind actually became real through your actions – that’s profound. That’s exercising human agency at its highest level.
