@MatznerJon 😂😂 you are having way too much fun with these

@MatznerJon 😂 I need to be careful asking the Sagan team for drink recommendations! I end up trying things from around the world. Latam folks introduced me to different varieties of tequila and the PH team introd me to Gin and Calamansi! Amazing combo!

Simple pieces of advice for the young” when it comes to drinking- 7 is my fave: 1. Don’t drink on empty stomach: the main point of the refreshment is the enhancement of food. 2. Don’t drink if you have the blues: it’s a junk cure. Drink when you are in a good mood. 3. Cheap booze is a false economy. 4. It’s not true that you shouldn’t drink alone: these can be the happiest glasses you ever drain. 5. Hangovers are another bad sign (as is watching the clock for the start-time to your next drink) and you should not expect to be believed if you take refuge in saying you can’t properly remember last night (If you really don’t remember, says Hitch, that’s an even worse sign). 6. Avoid all narcotics: these make you more boring rather than less and are not designed – as are the grape and the grain – to enliven company. 7. Be careful about up-grading too far to single malt Scotch: when you are voyaging in rough countries it won’t be easily available. 8. Never ever think about driving if you have taken a drop. 9. It’s much worse to see a woman drunk than a man. I don’t know quite know why this is true but it is. 10. Don’t ever be responsible for it.

@duncanmapes @SullyBusiness Ask it to put it in here.now

@SullyBusiness It’s nice…only issue is when you need to send it to a customer/client…. HTML isn’t ideal, and then the page breaks are weird when you convert to pdf

Learning to ask Claude for HTML outputs instead of PDFs or excel files will change your life.

@DavidOndrej1 Bit annoying to though

stop developing locally start developing on a VPS trust me

@mfishbein Clever in theory but we are talking about some of the most sensitive data in the company.

The end game for all the meeting recorder companies is to become an ad network. The product is already commoditized down to $9/user or whatever. So may as well give it away for free and make money on the back end from advertisers. Imagine the CPM Hubspot would pay to get in front of someone who just had a sales demo with Salesforce.

@Bouazizalex I wish all these tools delivered a better customer experience though!

We flew a bunch of the team to Buenos Aires this week, which happened to land on Anya's birthday. She recently became a naturalized Argentinian citizen, so the timing was perfect.

@DIBookkeeping Yeah I saw that! Cool build!

@BinsiDevadasan Oh this is a part of the customer facing piece too - that makes sense. Sounds like fun, we're about to start implementing ours that Zac and Jon whipped up here in May.

We spent 3 years building out Sagan's recruitment infrastructure. We place 80-100 people a month on that infrastructure now. A month ago I moved over to the AI build side of Sagan to join @zakimahomed. SOPs, key management, access controls, tools, billing and a TON of hiring! This is my favourite part of the job. They ship the builds, I build the thing that makes shipping them fast. 20+ member AI builds in motion this week. A LOT more coming!

Pulled this week's AI Architecture bookings. Property management, weddings, lawn care, financial ops. Totally different businesses. Every single one booked for the same reason: too much manual work eating the time that should go to the actual job.

@DIBookkeeping Basically yes! For customers we run an architecture call to talk through what hurts the most. Internally we have a bunch of ways in which we have started incorporating AI workflows. It is fun!

@BinsiDevadasan @zakimahomed @BinsiDevadasan are you guys essentially looking at every process and figuring out how and if to apply AI? Sounds like fun!

@gooby_esq Sweet!

Apparently new ChatGPT imagen feature can just generate full contacts as images lol

@isaiahberg @MatznerJon That was a hard phase to get through!

@MatznerJon Was the anxiety driven nervous energy a necessary phase to get where you are now?

Before disagreeing, a BIG caveat: - What's great about business is you do what you want! Chris is doing what he wants... and I'm generally a fan (except for the top of funnel entreporn to juice eyeballs). I provide my perspective only as a counterpoint. There is no single RIGHT way. Here's what yesterday was for a different entrepreneur. Not every day is like this. - Yesterday I woke up next to my wife and 3 year old (who likes sleeping with us). I think it was around 0630. - I went downstairs and woke my twins up, changed their diapers, fed them, then loaded them in the stroller to go grab coffee, and look at the waves. I didn't listen to a podcast or make calls. - Worked at my desk (in my home office) until around 12PM... then went to lunch with my wife, walked on the beach, and went grocery shopping for dinner. we bought some weird fruit to try, and talked about how to do more art together as a family - I occasionally looked at my phone, but when we hang out I usually hand it to her to put in her pocket so I don't fidget with it. If anyone really needs me they can call which goes to my watch. - Got back to the house and took a nap, answered a few emails... poked some things on slack. Chatted with a few folks on the phone including both my parents. - Took a jacuzzi with my son at 5PM, dinner with family around 6. - Did bath and put twins down at 6:30 - Did a short call around 6:30 with @zakimahomed for 30 minutes, then played around with AI on the couch for an hour or so. - Unplugged fell asleep around 9:30 after reading. In previous versions of my work life I was wall to wall with anxiety driven nervous energy (much like it seems like Chris is)... and i've been working very hard to be more deliberate and intentional with where I spend my cycles. The company is better for it, and so are my life & relationships. I don't feel the need to slam every corner of my life with work. Many ways to be an entrepreneur!

Paperclip was annoying to use on the browser so I added a small chat function to chat with the CEO and set up issues to auto scroll to the bottom. It’s nice to be able to solve these simple annoyances without knowing how to code!

@NickAbraham12 shipyourweekendproject.com

I just vibecoded a replacement to a $99/mo SaaS we pay for. It took 15 hours, still has a few bugs I can't get rid of, and will cost us $80/mo in usage. This is the future.

@LuizCent We decided to go a different route. They want long term contracts as well.

@BinsiDevadasan What did you end up negotiating at @BinsiDevadasan ?

LinkedIn is a joke. Negotiated 6 seats and 6 job slots for recruiter pro. Then we ask to add 2 more seats (yes ADD) and they quote us 30% more for each seat 😂😂😂 We are not adding them. Someone please make a better product so I don’t have to.

@MatznerJon 😂

Who's with me?
