A good rule of thumb is this.

Take whatever you think is the best-case scenario for how long something will take, and then double it.

Predicting timelines in software is extremely difficult, and almost everything takes longer than expected.

Being realistic here dramatically increases the chances.

AI-generated content has become a standard part of modern SEO workflows.

What’s often misunderstood is how search engines evaluate that content versus how it’s commonly discussed.

The disconnect between these two perspectives is where most ranking issues begin.

Web development is one of the rare skills where you can see cause and effect instantly.

Change a line. Refresh the page. Something breaks. Or works.

That feedback loop is the lesson.

Web Development Is Meant to Be Built, Not Watched

Build more.
Watch less.
Add constraints.
Use AI to experiment, not outsource thinking.
Chase momentum, not mastery.

I'll cure your fear of publishing in 30 seconds:
Write whatever you want. Publish it.
Worst case? Nobody sees it, and it dies along with 99.99% of the internet.
Best case? It gets engagement and you find new readers.
You win either way.

Traffic always looks good on a report.
Charts go up, screenshots get shared, everyone feels productive.

But traffic alone doesn’t prove SEO worked.
Sales do.

When SEO is done right, revenue shows up quietly.
No hype. No vanity metrics. Just conversions that make sense.
