High-impact opportunities in tech are time-dependent and require both awareness and available capacity to act on them. Constantly grinding tickets means missing chances to unblock big deals, mitigate incidents, or accelerate high-profile features. Doing nothing has real value: it reduces stress-induced mistakes, enables clearer thinking, and keeps you available for outlier events that drive outsized career impact.

The post serves as an existence proof that AI coding assistance enables shipping small, niche projects that would otherwise stall at the prototype stage. 49 16 [See all sean goedecke archives](/sources/seangoedecke/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/seangoedecke/best-of/2026/06#page","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/seangoedecke/best-of/2026/06","name":"Best sean goedecke Posts — June 2026","description":"The most upvoted sean goedecke posts from June 2026, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/seangoedecke/best-of/2026/06#items","numberOfItems":2,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/doing-nothing-at-work-m7gedjkee","name":"Doing nothing at work"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/weird-projects-i-shipped-with-ai-45nksnymu","name":"Weird projects I shipped with AI"}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Sources","item":"https://daily.dev/sources"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"sean goedecke","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/seangoedecke"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Best of","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/seangoedecke/best-of"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"name":"June 2026"}]}]} ```
