If you're mad about the Outbid/Hyrox hype you're missing the lesson
The best business is getting attention for other businesses. meta/Google/x sell ads. Outrank sells traffic. You capture attention and you sell it to someone who needs it
You suffer if you only build things that consume attention but don't create it
My only successful businesses have come from selling a sales lead or traffic. It's all the same game
If you can help someone else be successful you will have success yourself
create hype and rent it. especially in the age where building is cheap and attention is expensive
a lot of dev types are suffering from cognitive dissonance
historically, the deal was simple:
> get good at coding

that reality is gone and will never return
developers are now competing against an armada of marc lou's, all of whom are substantially better at drawing attention
the only thing they're left with is crying out in public because deep down they know they are - and possibly never will be - as great of a marketer as marc is

* GPT-6 for ideation
Fable 5 for spec and planning
Grok 4.6 for implementation
""
GPT-6 is super creative but likes to overdeliver making spec bloated
Fable 5 is solid but way too expensive and slow to do implemention but is great value for planning
Grok 4.6 is super super fast when it comes to implementing, and if giving a plan to follow, will follow it well
