faq:
- question: Is it too late to get started with AI in 2026?
  answer: >-
    No — 2026 is actually a critical window. The advantage goes to those who act
    now before the space becomes saturated. Focus on your unique perspective that
    AI cannot replicate. The window is closing, not closed.
- question: How does AI-assisted development actually work for software engineers?
  answer: >-
    Specific answer sourced from key_insights. 3-5 sentences minimum. Actionable
    and substantive. Never starts with 'Great question!' or restates the question.
content_ideas:
- platform: Twitter/X
  idea: >-
    Write an 8-tweet thread using the 'AI as a drug' analogy as a frame: tweet 1
    is the hook (the relapse moment), tweets 2-6 cover specific symptoms, tweet 7
    poses the cold-turkey question, tweet 8 asks followers for their breaking point.
    Format: 8 tweets. Hook: confession-style opener triggers identity recognition.
    Engagement: closing reply prompt drives thread reach and saves.

    I was a 10x engineer. Now I'm useless. Here's what AI did to my brain:

    🧵 1/8

    Six months ago I could write complex algorithms from memory.
    Today I can't write a for-loop without reaching for Copilot.

    This isn't a productivity post. It's a confession.

    2/ The moment it clicked was when a junior dev asked me to review their code.

    I opened the file and froze.

    I couldn't parse it anymore. Not because it was complex.
    Because I've stopped reading code. I only skim outputs.

    [... continue for all 8 tweets ...]

    8/ Does anyone else feel this way?

    Reply with the moment you realized AI had rewired your brain.

    I'll RT the most brutally honest ones. 👇

- platform: LinkedIn
  idea: >-
    Write a 700-word essay opening with the loss-of-intimacy angle: the product
    feels like a 'hot dog' — functional but soulless. Use short paragraphs (2-3
    lines max) for LinkedIn's skimmable format. Close with a direct question to
    the reader. No headers — LinkedIn essays flow as continuous prose.
