🚀 Over the years, I’ve helped sellers from small startups to 8-figure businesses optimize hundreds of listings, manage PPC, and streamline daily operations on Amazon Seller Central. Here’s the key to running your business smoothly and achieving sustainable growth. No bullshit, just real, practical advice from experience. *More details on each topic will be covered in other threads. 🧵👇

I run a separate Claude Code session for each Amazon brand I manage. The catch: they share the same Seller Central and Ads console access. Two sessions switching accounts at once breaks both. So one more session acts as coordinator. It talks to all of them and hands out turns.

AI still feels very early to me. Most people around me are at the chat stage. No agents, no Claude Code, no workflows. I'm not a developer. I just kept going past the chat window. That gap is still wide open, and most people don't know it's there.

I'm taking an Amazon Ads portfolio from 129 campaigns down to 13. More campaigns feels like more control. It usually just spreads clicks so thin that no campaign has enough data to decide anything. Before adding one, ask what decision it helps you make. If none, it's clutter.

I'm paid by the hour, so I time every task. So I built Omacrono, a stopwatch for the Omarchy bar ⏱️ Pick a label and it starts timing. It remembers past labels and keeps counting through restarts. Super+Alt+T starts or pauses it from anywhere. Get it: omarchyplugins.com/plugin.ht…

Heads up: the shortcut isn't on by default. Add two lines to ~/.config/hypr/bindings.lua (they're in the README): Super+Alt+T starts or pauses Super+Shift+Alt+T opens the panel Code: github.com/samuevelez-cyber/…

Amazon's Ads MCP lets Claude read and change your ad account in plain English. I manage ~$3.6M a year in Amazon ad spend. I built 20 Claude skills around my PPC work, with one fixed rule: 7 steps, and a human approves before anything goes live. The agent drafts. I decide.

Put @omarchy on a 2015 MacBook Pro. I’m not a coder. 10 days in, here’s what that got me: → Built my first plugin, now in review at omarchyplugins.com and Okomart → The terminal went from scary to my default → A 10-year-old laptop feels faster than my new one Next: turning it into an always-on AI server (Tailscale + Termius). It’ll run Hermes agents for my two family businesses, a bakery and a ceramics studio, plus my Amazon PPC work. Same idea as the agent that already closes out the bakery’s cash register every night. Old hardware + open source + AI = A non-coder without limits.

I don't know how to code. Tonight I wiped Ubuntu off my 2015 MacBook Pro and installed @omarchy . Wi-Fi worked on first boot. I'm officially in. @dhh thanks for being one of the crazy ones. You made me want to dive into the deep end I was always afraid of. 🔥

Introducing Claude Opus 5.5, the first model in our new Claude 5.5 family. It performs at the level of Claude Fable 5.1 for most tasks, and costs 40% less to run than Opus 5.

After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI? I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev • 20-200x faster • 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free) • Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution

“The truth is that AI use in companies will tip more and more toward automation — actually doing the job. "It's going to happen in a small amount of time — as little as a couple of years or less," Amodei says.” axios.com/2025/05/28/ai-jobs…

Before it gets out somewhere else, this is an email I sent yesterday morning to my team. It applies equally to the freelance community

Starting today, memory in ChatGPT can now reference all of your past chats to provide more personalized responses, drawing on your preferences and interests to make it even more helpful for writing, getting advice, learning, and beyond.
