What’s interesting is the leverage often isn’t which task to automate, but why that task exists at all. If the structure’s unclear, automation just scales friction. When it’s right, even basic AI goes a long way. 😌
Thanks, Tam, you're absolutely right. So easy to get FOMO looking at the complex systems that other people are building, whereas actually some of the writers and builders I most respect on Substack and elsewhere are those that have identified a specific problem are doing everything they can to solve it in the most straightforward was possible. Really excited for what you've got planned for us in 2026 as well. 🙏
Thanks Sam - I agree! AI can augment your life but most of the forward movement comes don to setting realistic expectations about what it can and should be used for. Simple often wins every time 🙂

I love how you framed this, Clifford! How often we find ourselves habitually doing something that shouldn’t have to be done in the first place.
