Your LinkedIn feed this week: "I built a second brain." "How I run 12 agents at once." "10 MCP servers you need." It's 10:30AM Tuesday and that's the 3rd one I've scrolled past.
I orchestrate agents daily. Use 2-3 MCPs and 10 skills regularly. The second brain on my computer? Gathering dust for months.
Last month I bought a 5-year-old M1 Max MacBook for $1,300 for my music project SUIMA. The latest maxed-out M5 Max next to it was $7,349 with 128GB of RAM. Ten years ago I'd have gone into debt for the M5 Max and only used a third of it.
Here's what I finally learned after 15 years of terrible purchases and too much time spent researching the best of the best: you don't earn the best gear by buying it. You earn it by needing it.
Same goes for Claude.
