I have been on a no-coding holiday for the last few weeks and will not be posting until Pipi Core is back up and running.

No posts for a wee while
Mike is the inventor and architect of Pipi and the founder of Ajabbi.
I have been on a no-coding holiday for the last few weeks to clear my mind, and it has been great. Back on the job today, and I will not be posting "On a Sandy Beach" until Pipi Core is back up and running 100% on autopilot.
Rapid refocus
- I have set up a new developer area with five screens for coding, which is more productive for someone who is hyper visual.
- A better library has been set up for the many reference books I use, and more bookshelves are on the way.
- The server rack has been moved to a better location.
- The light levels have been adjusted.
- A big office tidy is almost done. An office-work-only desk has yet to be set up.
- A separate area with no screens for the cat, coffee, music, reading and drawing.
Less is more
I'm trying to minimise screen time and be more productive when working. The new setup is also much less tiring.
Get the job done
The good thing is that, with a holiday and lots of drawing, I now have mental clarity about what needs fixing and how to fix it. Mainly quite delicate changes here and there. Now, I need to concentrate on one thing only, without meetings, post-deadlines, phone calls, or other distractions.
The benefits of an AI workforce
I get to be the architect, and AI fills in the dots to make it happen.
I now use Google Search AI mode (Gemini) to generate 99% of the code in one-page chunks (including references), which I can copy and paste, then manually change the variable names and SQL. Everything is then carefully tested, resulting in 100x faster progress. And I know how everything works, and my skill level is rising rapidly.
Speed is king
With these 100x productivity changes plus the 1000x speedup of Pipi currently underway, what previously took me a year will get done in hours.
