@MarlonAlonSaas @aymanalabdul ngmi

@aymanalabdul How much of that complexity actually maps to real buyer behavior vs. internal preference for optionality?

Amateur CEO: one product, one price, "optimized for our ICP" Pro CEO: three tiers, strategic add-ons, and a ladder for every budget to climb

@HankFrank ngl ... i would have grabbed the dog by the foot and hammer thrown it right into her

This morning a dog sent me to the ground mid-workout. The owner’s reaction was somehow worse than the fall. I love dogs. This isn’t about the dog. Rep 11 of 16x800m on a track. Running 5:20 pace. An off leash Doberman comes out of nowhere and levels me. Both knees scraped. Both hands scraped. Hip badly bruised. The owner kept walking. Didn’t even turn around. I got up, caught up to her, and asked her to please leash her dog or leave the track. She called me entitled. I moved to the road. Finished every remaining rep. Added one more for the one she cost me. She tried to end my workout. She gave me an extra rep instead.

Learning how to find your first customer is harder than finding your next job. Finding your second customer is easier than finding your next next job.

@pkellner @LeoTava8 @DavidKPiano I expect less security flaws. LLMs can hold more context at the same time (function + security).

@LeoTava8 @DavidKPiano I expect an avalanche of security flaws coming over the next couple years.

It's sad that there are so many AI devtool companies focused on creating new code & "replacing" devs, and not enough on maintaining/improving codebases (non-performatively) & replacing management

@LeoTava8 @DavidKPiano Buliding a new house is easy. Rehab is hard.

@DavidKPiano Generating greenfield code is the easy part. The real work is agents that can reason about a legacy dependency graph and make a change without a regressive cascade.

@mikeboysen I concur with those opinions.

The problem with four forces is that it is closely tied to a product. Innovation is not. Also, as we move into an agentic reality, our agents or digital twins will be less worried about anxiety. Of course, these are my opinions, and I'm always ready to be proven wrong with observable facts 🤓

@mikeboysen someone posted about JTBD and changed one of the words and I liked it. Then I asked claude to create versions of the four forces but separate each layer. It came up with the idea for counter-strategies.

@ashmaurya These experts need a framework to figure out and document the major decisions the business has to make so they can ply their trade. These are the DNA strands of a business.

@SupplyChainBlog the rubber duck is hilarious

The supply chain plan is completely different than the reality. Does anyone relate? #supplychainhumor #supplychaintoday

@mattpocockuk I had to parallelize 5 api calls in my app. rate limited. now i get by with 3

> manages to get parallel execution working in Sandcastle > fires off five Opus's at once > rate limit

When you design and plan your business, you need these 9 documents. First, for your own sanity. Second, so you can communicate it to customers, investors, employees. And you need to create them in this order (1-9) or they won't make sense.

@6sTrades @StrollerRunner this

@StrollerRunner Sleeping earlier

That 4:20 alarm is trying to ruin my marriage. Anyone got proven hacks for early miles without turning the bedroom into a war zone? #DadRunner #4amClub #StrollerMiles #MarriageAndMiles #RunDadRun

@mikeboysen @JsonBasedman @Shopify that's the one. Co-incidentally a few weeks before I saw that in NY some business owners were sued for paying every two weeks. Apparenlty there was an antiquated law that mandated weekly pay.

@KeyOrgSystems @JsonBasedman @Shopify Was this the one? @jobstobedone/note/p-184324942?r=4wccx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@jobstobedone/…

I bet @Shopify could deliver this project on time and on budget (and with far less budget)

@rezoundous same, but last week i had 14 and now I have 12 unfinished projects

Before AI, I had 3 unfinished projects. Now i have 12.

@TheCoolestCool the missing layer in the OSI model

I recently used Claude to recreate my wardrobe and I’ve gotta say… If they included affiliate links in here… I’d be okay with it.

@tayloramurphy I have a 45lb sandbag for loads of fun. I also have 45, 25, 15, and 5lb clubbells because they're way fun.

@KeyOrgSystems great idea actually

having a pullup bar next to your desk is clutch. I can get swole while Claude is working so I'll be able to fight the robots once they rise up.

If you want a system to think through the pace of change we're experiencing. I have this somewhere in my library if you want to borrow it. amazon.com/Clockspeed-Win…

@JamesonCamp Here's a teaser

@JamesonCamp I'm also building a saas that creates coherent campaigns. I'd love to show it to you to get feedback.

What’s your favorite sales tool for LinkedIn? Looking for ai native, that still leaves me control of what’s being said if needed

@davegerhardt you know

anytime i do anything with Claude
