Google just killed the agent framework industry. ADK 2.0: Open-source. Free. Better than $50K enterprise tools. What it does: → Graph-based execution with routing, fan-out/fan-in, loops, retry → Structured agent-to-agent delegation via Task API → State management, dynamic nodes, human-in-the-loop, nested workflows → Interactive CLI (adk run) and Web UI (adk web) for local dev → Multi-turn task mode with single-turn controlled output → Works with Gemini 2.5 Flash, extensions via pip What it replaces: → LangChain orchestration boilerplate → LangGraph state machines → Vertex AI Agent Builder lock-in → Custom agent-to-agent delegation code Define your Agent class with instructions and tools. Compose a Workflow class as a graph. Run it locally with adk run or adk web. No hosted platform. No vendor lock-in. Customer support bots, research agents, multi-agent pipelines - same library. This is what open-source from Google looks like. →

met an anthropic engineer making $1.2M a year. asked him how he ships alone at the pace of a full team. he didn't answer. sent me his .claude/. one folder. SAME MODEL - DIFFERENT RESULT. everyone's still picking between opus and sonnet like the model is the ceiling. it isn't. the real lever is what the model wakes up into: CLAUDE.md → hooks → verifier subagent → skills → mcp → memory → shift notes. you stop chatting with the model. you write the folder once. the folder runs the model. - CLAUDE.md - the contract - settings.json - the permissions - hooks/ - the reflexes - agents/verifier - the shift-notes cop - skills/ - 33 muscle memories - .mcp.json - the tools - MEMORY.md - the shift log that's the stack. full breakdown in the article below. bookmark before he realizes i posted it.

He doesn't hire anyone he opens Facebook's Ad Library and finds ads that have been running for 6+ months - those are the proven winners then he drops them into Higgsfield and has it rebuild the same ad with the client's logo claude writes the script and the ad copy for him in one afternoon he's got 10-15 video ads for a roofing company that never ran a single ad before he launches them on Meta and leads start coming in through a simple form an AI bot texts every lead back in under 2 minutes and books them straight onto the client's calendar the roofer just wakes up to booked appointments. He has no idea AI did all of it some of these clients have paid him the same fee every month for 2 years straight he bills per lead or a flat retainer - either way it's recurring, and the AI does most of the work one skill, a few tools, and small local businesses that have never touched advertising save this, the quietest AI money right now isn't apps - it's running ads nobody knows are AI
