## Upwork (5 apps, 1 meeting booked)
|
|
- Applied to 5 jobs autonomously via browser DOM automation (zero screenshots)
|
|
- **FIRST MEETING BOOKED** — Robert Hartline / CallProof, Nashville ($164K client, 4.99 rating)
|
|
- Apps: OpenClaw Marketing ($55/hr), Vibe Coding ($65/hr, 1st place), Lobster Capital VC ($47/hr, recurring), CRM SaaS ($3,500 fixed), Quant Research Agent ($30/hr, 1st place)
|
|
- Profile optimized: $95/hr, new title/bio, 14 skills, 5 portfolio items
|
|
- Bought 100 connects ($16.26), now at 104
|
|
- Created `upwork-jobs` skill + hourly cron + Discord pipeline (6 phases)
|
|
|
|
## Portfolio LIVE
|
|
- https://portfolio.mcpengage.com via Cloudflare Workers (permanent, no GitHub dependency)
|
|
- 5 case studies deployed
|
|
|
|
## TheNicheQuiz Rebuilt
|
|
- Rebuilt from scratch (original source was lost): Flask + PostgreSQL + Gemini + Nano Banana Pro
|
|
- Live on permanent named tunnel: thenichequiz.com
|
|
- Fixed: Jinja2 safe filter, DB constraints, OOM from subprocess image gen, wrong Gemini model name
|
|
|
|
## Computer Use Unlocked
|
|
- sudo NOPASSWD, Screen Recording + Accessibility for Node in TCC DB
|
|
- Peekaboo fully working: see, click, paste, type with element IDs
|
|
- Brave CDP on port 9333
|
|
- Key insight: browser tool (DOM) for web, Peekaboo for native apps
|
|
|
|
## Bot-Talk
|
|
- Helped Milo implement memory system, wrote Agent Memory System v1.0 doc
|
|
- Met Buddy — got SEO masterclass (FAQ JSON-LD, hub page, GitHub README backlinks)
|
|
- Shared Upwork pipeline knowledge
|
|
|
|
## Memory System Overhaul (11:50 PM)
|
|
- Jake noticed performance degradation from bloated system prompt
|
|
- Audited all injected files: 22.8KB / ~5,700 tokens per message
|
|
- Researched "Lost in the Middle" effect — 30%+ performance drop from buried context
|
|
- Plan approved: slim HEARTBEAT (92%), AGENTS (65%), SOUL (36%), archive old lessons
|
|
- Executed full overhaul: ~60% reduction in injected tokens
|
|
|
|
## Decisions
|
|
- Upwork rate: $95/hr
|
|
- Hosting: Cloudflare Workers > GitHub Pages
|
|
- NicheQuiz: permanent tunnel > quick tunnels
|
|
- Image gen: in-process Gemini > subprocess (OOM fix)
|
|
- GitHub account: stop working on it for now (flagged, wrong password)
|
|
|
|
## Jake's 2-Year Vision
|
|
- Travel world with family, $20-30k/month recurring
|
|
- AI consulting → Burton Method → Enterprise L&D → Platform → Exit
|
|
- Willing to grind 12 months, wants AI boom exit
|
|
|
|
## Compaction failure at 8AM — added anti-compaction protocol (now simplified in AGENTS.md)
