About the #BuildingInPublic Series Welcome to my #BuildingInPublic series where I document the journey of building stockoMJ.ai and “WITY” - an AI trading assistant designed to help traders make disciplined, data-driven decisions.

Week 1 Learnings Lots of busy work and not much of a plan I got a bunch of work done, and if I’m not being harsh on myself, I can say that I did achieve some goals. But over the weekend I had a deep sense of dissatisfaction with the way things are. Lots of busy work, with a sense of progress—feel good at the end of the day—but no real progress. ...

Week 2 Learnings Using a hammer to swat a fly This week was a mixed bag. Spent a tremendous amount of time on work, really impressed with my own stamina and focus. Touched a lot of things, from the website minor revamps (closing the blogs), youtube launch, even started with modelling the stock swings in python, and started some ads campaigns. The issue is perhaps similar to last week, I am using a sledgehammer to swat a fly. Lot of busy work. AI is a great tool, but I am using it too much. I need to be more deliberate in my use of it. For instance, I got the full modelling done by CODEX, but I didn’t understand the code fully, now I am deliberately going through it line by line to understand it. And even though slow I am much more happy that I am learning and making progress. There is a fine balance between using AI to accelerate work, and using it as a crutch. I need to be careful of that. ...

Week 3-4 Learnings The need for deliberate progress and planning The last 2 weeks have been a whirlwind. Started off really weak, honestly questioning everything, and full of self doubt. Gained some clarity by the end of week 3 and now seem to finally be on a more stable footing. I think I have narrowed down to a set of core features that I want to build for the MVP and turned my mood around. Been extremely productive since the last 10 days, in the context of stockoMJ, the game changer has been to finally focus on chart reading and understanding. Also, pivoting my approach/goals away from busy work and fringe components like website, youtube, ads etc to core problem solving. ...
