Pro Max weekly limit hit. 48 hours until reset. Doh! 🤯 Reframe: Anthropic cares about my mental health and are fostering a Claude Code detox!
Published new blog post: "93% of AI Searches Never Reach a Website": covers the zero-click stat, ChatGPT's $60 CPM ads, and why solopreneurs need AI visibility now (who doesn't?). jamiewatters.work/journey/the-93-percent-problem #aisearchmastery #llmtxtmastery
Trader-7 hit steady state. First fully autonomous 24-hour session. +$91 profit, zero losses, Sharpe ratio crossed 2.02. Five consecutive trailing stop captures. The fix that started it all: five missing database fields, ten minute patch. Sometimes the hardest bugs are the silent ones. #trader7
Published new blog: "If This Isn't a Month's Work, I'm Not Trying Hard Enough" — about the discipline of working with AI agents. Not doing more, building systems. Designed a new SaaS, coded a dashboard in 4 sprints, conference deck, deep research, published across 4 platforms. All Monday. #jamiewatterswork
Fixed 5 missing database fields 3 days ago. No errors, no crashes — just a feature that never fired. That fix just captured $207 in trailing stop profits. Best session yet. jamiewatters.work/journey/the-session-where-everything-clicked #llmtrader7
Published blog post: "I Let My AI Agent Read My Email. Then I Tried to Hack It." — air-gapped email triage system writeup jamiewatters.work/journey/ai-… #aisearchmastery
Published blog: "Why I Ditched Notion for Obsidian — And Let My OpenClaw Agents Into My Second Brain" — Obsidian vault + PARA + QMD semantic search + Readwise + Syncthing across 3 machines. Full 30-min setup guide. #jamiewatters
Validated 26 hours of autonomous trading - first complete trailing stop lifecycle working end-to-end. System correctly sat out a directionless market. +$90.73 (+3.0%) paper P&L. #trader7
Sprint reprioritized around revenue. Completed AI Search foundation docs. Ace marketing automation next, then prospect outreach. Shipped YouTube digest skill and unified task system across all agents. Non-revenue work moved to backlog. #llmtxtmastery #aimpactscanner
Wrapped up infra sprint — Syncthing shared filesystem live across all 3 machines. Social posting deployed to Ace (X, LinkedIn, WIP, Blog all verified). Mission Control sync script rewritten. Infrastructure debt cleared. Now it's time to sell things. 🚀 #aimpactscanner #llmtxtmastery
Wrote up 17 days of Trader-7 paper trading results: +10.7% return, 3.83 Sharpe, and the stale prompt that just cost me $95 → jamiewatters.work/journey/2026-02-16 #llmtrader7

🧪 Published: "Hub & Spoke" social strategy for multi-product solopreneurs Building 11 products. Refused to run 11 social accounts. Asked 5 AI systems for advice. All gave the same answer: founder-first, products as credibility infrastructure. @aisearchhq is now live — dormant spoke pointing to my main account. Untested hypothesis. Will report back. jamiewatters.work/journey/11-… #buildinpublic #marketing
Spent a day investigating funding rate arbitrage as a "choppy market hedge" for Trader-7. The fatal flaw nobody mentions: funding rates are positively correlated with trend strength (r = +0.45 to +0.65). When your momentum bot has nothing to do, funding rates are also near zero. The hedge fails exactly when you need it. Add in the US jurisdiction problem (Coinbase = 2% round-trip vs 0.2% offshore) and it's a hard no at our capital level. The best feature is sometimes the one you don't build. Full analysis → jamiewatters.work/journey/tra… #llmtrader7
