// The Journey
Building in public.
In real time.
Every decision gets documented. Every mistake gets published. Every win gets logged. This is not a highlight reel. This is the actual build.

Slept in - Still killing it.
Decided I needed rest after getting up yesterday at 12:45am... man I have a problem...
Anywho, I still got a lot accomplished vibe coding from my phone! I love how these new workflows are not limited to your desktop!

A morning break?
This morning I decided to take a 'break'... sort of. Instead of doing work on businesses, I shot a video for 3amCEO. It's an honest look at ... how I got here.

AscentAi.ca -- The Business Build
Built some of the core Ai infrastructure on AscentAi.ca today. I think it's turning out pretty well. The problem I kept running into is vibe coding constraints... running out of credits. I hit my limit within about 10-20 minutes each time because I was coding so much backend. I was able to improve productivity by creating .mds with other LLMs and import into Claude Code.
One step forward is still forward motion.

Productive Morning so far...
Today was a great morning, super productive... but at 4:25am I hit my code limit... sigh... just when we got things rolling.
Not much to discuss in terms of development. I have a backend Idea Vault built out, and Skeets started, but honestly this was more organizational and planning phase... which I have learned is more important than the coding phase.
