The AI and the AI rebuilt my 20 year old teaching site
His free French teaching site Ralentir travaux, used by millions of visitors, had been more or less abandoned because its old code ran to thousands of pages.

Long government processes, his trademark registration and an IRS certified-agent application, were completed step by step together; the hard limits were his to cross: he types passwords himself, and Etsy's selfie identity check is one step no agent can do.
