Another weekend, another app started, finished, and submitted to the App Store. Less than 48hrs from initial concept to App Store Review. This time for my wife (to support her job as a coach). Used Copilot CLI for the entire process. It's come a LONG way. The gaps with Claude Code are now VERY narrow. Impressive.

ATL airport is crazy. Offered a guy $100 to let me cut him in the TSA line. He said no. A lady about five spots ahead overheard and said, “I’ll do it for $50.” Paid her $50, skipped the line, and made my flight. His loss. Costa Rica, here I come. ✈️🌴

Picked up my new Tesla Model Y today and the FSD ride home was the most surreal experience of my life. Went from delivery to parking spot without touching the wheel or pedals once.

Due to TSA staffing constraints, ATL is continuing to see longer than normal wait times at security checkpoints. Travelers are encouraged to arrive at least 4 hours early. We appreciate your patience and thank our federal and airport partners for their continued dedication.

3+ hour TSA lines for travelers. 300+ TSA officers who have quit. A $0 paycheck for those continuing to serve. Enough is enough. No more playing politics with the lives of Americans. The Democrat shutdown of DHS must end now.

Self driving Tesla has replaced the iPhone for me as the most transformative technology of the 21st century. The iPhone has had far more impact so far, but I think the self driving Tesla is the most impressive tech creation of the 21st century.

I couldn’t agree more!

@ClayTravis It is the most amazing thing! I rarely drive anymore.

Bought a Tesla yesterday and I’m already blown away by how incredible the self driving function is. I’m even more convinced now that within a generation driving a car is going to be like riding a horse, something a small minority of people do for fun.

i watched a flight go from $483 to $547 in 24 hours WITHOUT a single seat selling searched london to new york on a tuesday $483 checked again 2 hours later $512 next morning: $547 panicked and booked it the guy sitting next to me paid $391 same seat, date + airline $156 less he searched once i searched 3 times the algorithm saw me come back and charged me until i broke the seat doesnt have a price you have a price and it goes up EVERY time you show interest couldnt stop thinking about it so i tracked down someone who actually built pricing algorithms for a european carrier asked him what happened to me "you got profiled. the system assigned you an intent score after your second search and raised your ceiling every time you came back" asked how to beat it "most people think a VPN fixes it. thats 2015 advice. the algorithm fingerprints more than your IP now. it reads your device your browser your screen resolution your timezone. VPN to bucharest but your clock says london and your language is english? the algo knows youre faking and sometimes charges you more for trying" "so what actually works?" "you have to poison the entire profile. not just the location. the identity" the protocol he gave me: VPN AND match your timezone and language to the spoofed location. mismatched signals flag you and can trigger a price increase use a fully clean browser. no history no saved passwords no google account. the algorithm fingerprints your session not just your cookies one search one booking. the intent score activates on the second search. there is no safe way to look twice book tuesday or wednesday 1-5am. lowest traffic means the least demand data for the algorithm to inflate against if the price already spiked go dark for 72 hours minimum. not 24. the intent score on most carriers decays on a 3 day cycle. come back on a different device from a different network "we spent $4 billion building these systems. theyre not going to lose to someone who opened an incognito tab" $900 billion industry the gap between what you pay and what the person next to you pays is not a bug its the entire business model stop letting an algorithm charge you for being predictable

I always think of him on this day

The new head coach of the Atlanta Falcons

Falcons fans seeing the news…

Sorry it has gotten so bad that this is what gets your 2026 going. Hoping things get better for you and the rest of the yellow bellys.
