Outbid: How a Three-Hour Vibe-Coded Site Made $212K
Andrew Warner and Jonathan Wilke unpack Outbid: a three-hour Cursor build that reportedly generated $212,000 by turning paid leaderboard placement into a public viral loop.
Every case study, system breakdown, and field note, newest first and filterable by topic. No theory, no demos. Only systems that run in production and what it took to get them there.
This is the complete archive: all 699 posts across 62 topics, newest first, filterable by category. It holds the case studies, the model and tool comparisons, and the field notes from systems I built and run. For the curated view, where the writing sits alongside the free Claude Code skills, start at the Library instead.
The archive leans in four directions: AI Search Visibility (132), AI Agent Architecture (65), AI Tools (38), and Open Source (37). Those four account for most of what I publish, because they are where most of the client questions land.
Three places to start. The AI search visibility guide is the hub for the largest cluster and links out to every spoke in it. Grok Imagine vs Midjourney is the image model comparison, rebuilt against live leaderboard data rather than left to go stale. OutreachIQ is the longest running system breakdown here, from first prototype through to a public repo.

Google now documents a custom Preferred Sources button, with the feature extending into AI Overviews and AI Mode. Here is the practical, non-desperate implementation playbook.
Andrew Warner and Ben Senescu demonstrate OpenSEO, an open-source workbench that gives Claude, Codex, and other agents real keyword, competitor, backlink, audit, and Search Console data.
Google platform properties now make social and video search performance easier to compare. Use that evidence to choose the next owned page, video, or social asset.
A new local-AI study found business websites leading Gemini citations. Service brands should treat their own pages as primary comparison evidence, not directory support material.
Generic answer pages are not safer because they use AEO language. Google applies spam policies across Search, including generative AI responses. Build fewer, better-supported answers.
NetworkChuck takes Omarchy from a blank USB drive to an AI-customized Linux workstation. Here is the practical migration guide for installation, shortcuts, gaming, Windows apps, and recovery.
Andrew Warner and Adam review ten GitHub repositories for diagrams, agent context, Linux, tiny local models, knowledge graphs, model routing, video creation, public APIs, and security research, plus seven community builds.
A phase 3 melanoma result, Qwen3.8-27B, agent memory, Computer History, Cursor Origin, Slack Code, and the evidence builders should act on.
Discovery, retrieval, and citation are different stages. This practical page architecture reduces ambiguity without pretending anyone can guarantee a ChatGPT citation.
Andrew Warner and Corey Ganim review Rakazo, Hermes Bot Mode, Meridian, Clipto, creator-built apps, Microdex, Bot Directory AI, and the rise of specialized agents.
Content Credentials are not a ranking switch. They are a provenance layer brands can use to preserve context, authorship, and edit history across AI-assisted asset workflows.
Andrew Warner and Nick Vasilescu unpack a $5K/month managed-agent offer built around fast workflow discovery, Orgo, Hermes Agent, weekly outcomes, and controlled access.
Remy Gaskell's shared-skills system rebuilt as a governed supply chain for authoring, testing, packaging, updates, rollback, ownership, and safe telemetry.
A consistent logo is not enough. AI-mediated discovery exposes breaks between the website, social content, video, service language, and the facts a brand asks others to repeat.
Gary Explains runs Qwen3.8-27B locally on an RTX 5090 and tests a game, a protocol library, and a C interpreter. Here is what passed, what needed correction, and what the hardware result does not prove.
A practical Omarchy 4 guide to the Quickshell rewrite, keyboard-first workflow, agent integration, plugins, Arch updates, hardware fit, and safe evaluation.
Andrew Warner and Tim Hey review ten repositories for interface generation, product analytics, app connections, coding-agent process, context reduction, codebase mapping, discovery, AI search, and documentation.
AI-search impressions are not a score. Here is how to connect Google reporting to page expansion, proof upgrades, assisted conversions, and sensible weekly decisions.
Andrew Warner and Matt Pocock explain how Grill Me, specs, tickets, implementation, and review make coding-agent work portable and reliable.
Greg Isenberg's sponsored Claude Code workflow rebuilt with repo context, Plan Mode, tickets, preview, layered review, routines, worktrees, and permission tiers.
AI can summarize common knowledge cheaply. The defensible advantage is evidence from work you actually did: tests, decisions, screenshots, constraints, and measured outcomes.
AEO, GEO, and ASO create more acronym debt than advantage. Here is the practical clarity, proof, and distribution stack a small expert brand can control.
Andrew Warner and Erik Siu test Grok Bot's cloud computer, skills, routines, triggers, plugins, and handoffs. Here is how to deploy it with control.
