The thread was on r/shopifydev sometime around April 21.

Two months ago, in early February, I spent a week reading competitor reviews by hand.

An AI agent wrote 9,000 lines of code this week. I spent every evening deciding where they should go.

My AI COO knows everything a pre-launch company needs. It never once flagged what was missing.

Week 2 of replacing myself with AI agents. The autonomy score hit 50%. The interesting part is what the number doesn't capture.

Keynes predicted we'd stop working. AI is reopening the question. I'm testing it on a real business.
