• Perplexity and commet (from W11 only on the desktop)

do we really need betterpic and similar tool?

Or have they been superseeded by image 2 from openai?

Tl;DR

People still dont believe that a PoC can be built in 1h, not in 6 months.

How long will it take for this information to spread out?

Intro

Lets continue the business/entrepreneurial/BiP series of this year.

I hope you had time to Pressure-test your product brief since the last one.

0. Prepare a checklist: your brand should have one, including the unit economics and the value equation mindmap

1. Dis-Qualify: specially if you have many ideas always after first 10

While building:

1. SMART or it doesnt ship: *a mantra, specially after building this on this section.
2. Lean: Perceived value is the only value

Conclusions

A friend told me that in big corporations they claim that the ultimate proof for achievement is revealed at linkedin.

That having a website is like very cheap, as you can write anything and you have no way to check if whats written is true or not.

Not sure about you, but having as a hack for real value:

1. The count of likes and hearts that an algorithm put in front of your face
2. People re-inforcing pre-accepted ideas (herd behaviour)
3. Telling how hard was your migration process to Canada and why you came back being another person

Doesnt seem quite there, right?

But anyways, how can you proof value if you are not delivering any of it?

Luckily, some of us have proofs:

Consulting Services

Consulting - Tier of Service

DIY via ebooks

Distilled knowledge via web/ooks with free value.

PS: you can make all the content of this blog as yours by just cloning :)

PS2: from next year, new curated posts might still be free, just not OSS, as Im preparing some changes around the consulting model

Industries?

1. Aerospace
2. Mech Engineering
3. FMCG/Logistics/Consumer Insights
4. Crypto
5. Marketing Analytics / RevOps
6. Telecom/Big Data
7. HealthCare Analytics
8. AI and DevOps

Roadmap Check 2605

Its all about:

1. https://agents.md/
2. skills.sh, https://github.com/openai/skills
3. Agents like: openclaw or the selfimproving ones https://github.com/nousresearch/hermes-agent

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
#hermes model

Whats next?

Goals without values and w/o decomposed actions are useless

The last monthly review was this one

#npm run build && npx wrangler pages deploy dist --project-name jalcocertech-ebooks

Keep Doing

1. Following my roadmap for this year, as planned here.

Yea, im not considering Side-Quests26 nor Tech talks.

Oh, also not the monthly selfhosted/homelab recaps.

2. Monthly Life ~ IKIGAI Checks: just that not done in onenote, but in .md

#git clone /my-logseq-notes

3. Quiiick PoCs: like the recent iperf3 related

git clone https://github.com/JAlcocerT/poc
cd ./poc/

Or the recently upgraded trip planner from v3 to v4:

git clone https://github.com/JAlcocerT/Py_Trip_Planner
cd ./Py_Trip_Planner/

V3 used node+python, v4 is just node with even nicer charts

3. Generating random data animated videos & renders: is probably time to unify these…

Creating motion graphics data stories is fun:

git clone /mbsd

git clone /3Design

Yea… its about time:

/eda-f1
/eda-geospatial

Stop Doing

1. Collaborations with people around vague ideas/projects

those who dont have a clearer (>=) than what I expect before executing my own worthless ideas are to be skipped.

When you have certain volume, this is the kind of thing that you put into a disqualification form.

Have your own ideas checklist in place!

Start Doing

1. As code is cheap and so are videos…

I need to think about the FOSS/JAlcocerTech yt videos rebump - TBC though

2. Data is no longer a full thing, a data product is the end to end

Because nobody will pay you to make a group by and filters any more

As you know, agents are coming to the workspace, that includes pbi, looker and whatever

Why should you restrict yourself to existing dashboarding tools?

not talking about streamlit pocs, but full stack data pocs

git clone /poc
#claude #/usage #as long as you have still tokens

The ideal reading order for a solopreneur:

1. Cardone — get your sales energy and mindset right
2. Cashvertising — learn the psychological triggers behind buying
3. Ogilvy — elevate your craft and build a lasting brand

Together those three cover the full spectrum from hustle to strategy.
