You think that letting an AI write your blog posts or your code is lame, but in 2025, you either multiply yourself by 100 or your competitors will multiply you by zero.

Except for very few exceptions, the larger the company, the worse the customer support. This is specially frustrating for small business owners, that's why my goal is to never leave a customer in the dark, ever.

Grok 3 seems like a nice step forward, at least for programming, however I noticed 2 very irritating issues: It keeps forgetting I am coding in typescript and switches to plain javascript, and it has some serious hallucination problems, like it tells you to correct a line of code

The amount of RAM memory consumed by some apps today is simply insane. It is difficult to imagine how a simple terminal app can consume almost 32Gb.
