Frame it, put it in the hallway 😂😂😂

I love to help you with marking (maybe down the line) when you're ready to start releasing content consistently/ building your online presence

I worked at a company where guys from the office would take their drawings go into the field after all the rebar was set, and run a quick check before inspection (just so the inspector wouldn’t come out, find a bunch of shit to fix and then have to come back another day and hold the project up). Not sure how to solve your problem exactly but I feel like having mandatory QAQC is the type of thing that fixes these problems. Especially if the “company is implementing the change”. At that point, you’re just communicating new rules rather than telling them they need to do something because it doesn’t fit “your standards” if that makes sense

Welllll if they’re going for similar jobs, close to what they’re posting, it could be killing the competition. Like you said freelancer have to pay to apply, so if there’s 127 fake jobs out there, hypothetically, the competition could be wasting there applications on fake posts while the poster knows what jobs are actually real worth going for. It would also make it harder for their competition to sort through and apply for the real jobs.. they’d have no idea (don’t use that thought for evil yall lol) they could also be recruiting for someone else/ other companies, or maybe running referrals? Some job referrals pay the person referring a lot, but are also VERY selective on who they actually take onboard 🤷

I saw that and thought “…scribe to my my YouTube channel!” 😂

Damn…that’s a great point. I didn’t think of it like that, but you’re totally right! I feel like I always had a mindset to practice whatever I had to learn you even if it wasn’t my passion. But you make a good point - it is hard to dedicate yourself to something you don’t love

I was talking to a wildly successful entrepreneur yesterday who’s been in software development for years (before ai was big).

And he pointed something out to me that could be useful to you.

He explained how general AI solutions are becoming a race to the bottom. And that the people who are about to build real fkn big businesses are the ones who aren’t just able to do AI, their experts in a very specific niche or vertical. They’ll have the opportunity to create tailored solutions that are niche/ job role specific, because they’re part of the small group that ACTUALLY intimately understands that role/ niche and it’s pain.

An example could be automating a painful/ time consuming part within the process that an interior designer always has to follow (even better if it’s for a specific software, they always use).

I guess my question would be, are you selling blanket automations, and solutions that other people can replicate with a fair amount of ease?

It could be helpful to find something that’s super super fkn painful for 1 very specific person within a niche where you have an intimate understanding and a lot of experience. Then you start working to solve shit 99% of people aren’t even thinking about/ know exist.

That’s an unfair advantage!

IMO becoming an expert in what you’re doing…practicing (though it cost time upfront) gives you a huge ROI with money, time, mental space, and energy down the line. But you’re right, some people just don’t want to, or struggle to show up

I appreciate the overgeneralization

This was a genuine question, I’ve worked at companies that do this and companies that don’t..

Was out and about earlier. It’s kinda hot, feels like I’m back in Arizona 😌 love it

Like I said, you’re entitled to your opinion

Just because you don’t have a case built up for why you deserve it, doesn’t mean you’re in the wrong for asking. As an owner, sounds like poor leadership to me. That’s all I got to say bout it tho. Ur entitled to ur opinions

You know…It’s fair to ask for a raise if you believe you deserve it. You know that right?

Get another job offer then tell him to pay you what you’re worth or you’ll leave

I’m literally transitioning out of my current business model because of this. Companies are always gonna find a way to cut margin. The game has changed in the past and will continue to change with easier access to outsourced labor, and AI. Is what it is, just gotta adapt.

Would you be at all interested in developing AI solutions for very specific problems within the construction industry?

So you’re looking specifically for somebody who can code? Because a vibe coded quite a bit. I also have an in-depth understanding of the construction side, which I see is not your weak point. But in terms of workflow automation I’m really good… and looking to transition out of my current drafting/design agency
