I mainly work with documents as a white collar worker but have vibe coded a few bits.

The thing I keep coming back to is that it's all code. Almost all white collar professions have at least some key outputs in code. Whether you are a store manager filling out reports or a marketing firm or a teacher, there is so much code.

This means you can give claude code a branded document template, fill it out, include images etc. and uploaded to our cloud hosting.

With this same guidance and taste, I'm doing close to the work of 5 people.

Setup: Claude code with full API access to all my digital spaces + tmux running 3-5 tasks in parallel



White colar work is just a lucky place to be, 99% of it is completely made up, there's people doing nothing, and people doing work of 10 people, does not matter, the work itself has no impact on anything.

A nice way to realize why this AI wave hasn't produced massive economy growth, it is mostly touching parts of economy which are parasitic and can't really create growth.
