The 3 questions that separate high-value engineers from everyone else

Ask any engineer in your team these 3 questions:

1️⃣ "What task do you do more than 5 times a week?"

2️⃣ "Have you automated it?"

3️⃣ "If yes, how much time did you save last month?"

The answers will tell you everything.


The Three Levels of Engineers

Level Answer Reality
🟡 Low-value engineer "I don't have time to automate." Trapped in busy work
🟠 Mid-value engineer "I automated one thing once." Sees value but doesn't scale
🟢 High-value engineer "I save 10+ hours every week. Here's how." Leverage machine

Automation Is Not a Skill

It's a mindset shift.

  • From "doing" → to "building systems that do"
  • From "I'll learn later" → to "I'll automate now"
  • From "that's not my job" → to "that's exactly my job"

What I'm Committing To

I'm spending 90 days proving this framework works — with:

  • 🤖 Automation (Python, APIs, no-code tools)
  • Salesforce (Flows, Apex, REST APIs)
  • 🧠 AI (GPT, agents, RAG)

Real code. Real builds. Real results.

No tutorials for the sake of tutorials.

Only projects that save time or increase leverage.
