Think about it. 10x of something is a lot.

• 10x a salary of $70.000/year (~avg salary in USA) is 700k€/year. Imagine the lifestyle change.
• Lifting 10x my maximum PR on dead-lift goes from 160kg to 1.6T.
• A means of transportation 10x faster is arriving in 9 minute what it took 1.5h
• Avg. vertical jump for an male adult is 45cm. 4.5m if you 10x it.

We referenced the mythical 10x developer casually in the dev world. Now that we have AI, we’re mentioning the existance of 100x developers!

As mentioned in Toy Projects I have a Beelink Mini S12 Pro (N100, 16GiB of RAM. 500GB NVMe SSD).

I’m managing it using AI. To give root permissions to an agent felt crazy at first. Now I don’t want to go back.

The setup

Networking

Tailscale for VPN. Installed everywhere: on the server, personal laptop and phone. It’s extremely easy to get it up and running. Like, 5 minutes and it’s all done.

It’s incredible how much can you do with AI. I’m having so much fun lately, that it’s unreal; the speed, the progress… it is crazy.

I’ve been working on small projects. Some of them took an afternoon. Other took a little bit longer.

10 years ago it was not the case. Those projects would take weeks to completion. I would often not finish them.

With the use of AI, I feel 10x. I finish them without problems or friction. I release them with ease. Modifications and adjustments take no time. It’s fun.
