AI gurus who have never deployed a real production system are selling "10x engineer" courses on LinkedIn.

The actual 10x part was knowing the fundamentals before the AI showed up. That is not a course. That is a decade.

Real SEO is not a product you buy. It is a system you build.

Load speed. Semantic HTML. Heading structure. Internal linking. Schema. Clean metadata. Mobile parity. Crawlable routes. Actual content.

Anyone selling you "SEO" without those is selling vibes.

Vercel is not hosting. It is deployment without suffering.

Push to GitHub. The site updates. No FTP rituals. No cPanel seance. No "please contact your host" tickets.

WordPress plugin hell is just technical debt with a friendly logo.

Twenty-three plugins. Four security updates pending. Two are abandoned. One is incompatible with PHP 8. Your gymnastics academy's enrollment form has been broken since March.

Cool stack.

My workflow, no mystery:

Client call. Claude to plan. Cursor to build. Claude to review. Cursor to refine. GitHub to commit. Vercel to deploy. Domain wired. Supabase live. Resend for email. Cloudflare for protection. Analytics on. Profit.

That is the whole stack.
