A patent sat unused for seven years. Not because the idea was wrong. Because the middleman was brutal. Then came the couch, the Heat game, and two weeks that changed that.

I'm on the couch. Heat game roaring. AI jumps in with pricing strategy and go-to-market advice. I told it to shut up. Then the real work started.

One month ago, half these tools didn't exist. Built apps before my coffee cooled. Couch. Heat game on TV. Eyes wide. This is Day One of building enterprise systems with AI.
