@eastdakota @zatlyn @icqheretic @Cloudflare Awesome

Fun picture one of our first investors just sent me of me, @zatlyn, and @icqheretic (the cofounding team of @Cloudflare) from the back patio of our first office (542 Emerson in Palo Alto) circa 2010. Best advice for founders: take more pictures.

@CouponPicked @ybhrdwj To be fair Vestaboard offers a simulator for free at web.vestaboard.com but it’s still cool and flattering @ybhrdwj northernimagination.com

The real story here is the comments demanding this be free or $5. A guy builds a $199 alternative to a $3,500 product — 94% cheaper — and the internet says he's overcharging. This is exactly why every software company eventually pivots to subscriptions. One-time purchases get roasted, recurring revenue gets tolerated. We did this to ourselves.

I love the retro airport terminal look, but didn't want to spend $3.5k on a vestaboard. I coded a fun tool that turns any tv into a vestaboard. > add quotes / weather / stats etc > no subscription, $199 one time fee > first customer gets a free tv hmu :)

@jspujji GA

My companies close $20M/year on 30-minute Zoom calls. I had an ex-McKinsey consultant reverse-engineer exactly how: – Sales call recordings – Sales scripts – Lead gen systems Reply with “GA” and I'll DM you the copy. Free.

@NWischoff Maybe there are other private clubs (I know there are companies) but private clubs in public parks can’t be good for the soul.

Members only golf sim in the Presidio: 6 bays, lounge and bar area. Phone booths for calls. 24/7 access. Very high-end amenities. All members fully vetted. Referrals only.

Stay gold @drewhouston

@jeff_weinstein @stripe Great idea

Hey @stripe: is this business "real"? Send us the URL of a business and we’ll score if it is intentionally deceptive, impersonating another site, sells counterfeit products, or is otherwise low quality or fraud-y. Looking for a few well-qualified companies to try this out. 🕵️🔎

@fivosaresti GTME

Companies are going to start paying GTM Engineers $150K+/year. They can do it all: 1. Set up email infrastructure 2. Build targeted lists 3. Enrich data from multiple sources 4. Score leads into tiers 5. Route leads to reps 6. Run automated outbound 7. Build awareness scores 8. Orchestrate inbound systems That said... I put together a full cheatsheet that covers the entire role from start to finish... • Strategy plays for warm, signal-based, and cold outreach. • Data aggregation across CRM, 1st party, 2nd party, 3rd party, and database sources. • Data enrichment workflows to filter, normalize, score, qualify, and segment. • Data activation across outbound, RevOps, content, and ads. Plus full outbound and inbound sales workflow breakdowns... KPIs for production, distribution, and conversion... And a curated book list to go deeper. Whether you're a GTM engineer, sales leader, or founder doing outbound yourself... This is the only reference guide you need. If you want it for free: Comment "GTME" And I'll send it over ASAP. PS - This cheat sheet includes 20+ tools, 8 book recommendations, and frameworks used by top GTM teams generating millions in pipeline.

@codyschneider Generator

I just had Claude Code build me a Facebook ad generator that can make 100+ on-brand ad variations in minutes for $0. And I made a full Notion document guide for you. It includes: 1. How to use Claude to find the pain points and desired outcomes of your ICP 2. How to use these pain points and outcomes to write ad copy variations 3. How to build a Facebook ad template entirely with code (just like the ones you see) 4. How focus Claude Code’s design so the ad feels “on-brand” 5. How to export the Facebook ads as PNGs in a zip file 6. How to bulk upload them to a Facebook ad set 7. How to use an AI data analyst to track the success of these ads Everything above is just API calls and Claude Code doing the work for you. You just come up with the ideas and polish the outputs. Like and comment "generator" and I'll send the Notion document to you

This is a good example of why companies should feel comfortable talking about diversity at work.

It's a bit crazy that Microsoft is letting Anthropic use Excel as a user interface to learn what people want to do with spreadsheets

To all the athletes representing @TeamUSA: I'm so proud of you. Your talent and perseverance have brought you to this moment, and Michelle and I will be joining Americans from across the country cheering you on.

@ajaymkalia You used to sound like that around the office too just fyi

Most of my non-coding workday now looks like this — a word salad into Claude, who just “gets it” — and it produces a webpage; which can then be rendered into a doc, a slide, a spreadsheet, a chart, whatever. The “gets it” feels newly possible since Opus 4.5. Not only can I get into a flow state, it’s genuinely fun! And it’s why I haven’t touched Gamma or any Google Suite products in weeks.

@ajaymkalia Is it publishing or copy and paste code

@jhong @danprimack It strikes me as very risky to to the US have one person controlling a $2 trillion+ company performing all ai and space work for the US government. Ideally US officials, who will happily throw their personal money into a deal, set up guardrails. Or congress should.

My guess is it makes perfect sense to me, from two perspectives; 1. SpaceX is potentially the highest value and Elon has supervoting shares in it. Collapsing them together into one entity may make him ultimately have complete control of the remaining entity , something he lacks in Tesla right now. Most posts I see seem to think this is about flowing money but I think it's more about consolidating control. My guess is he merges SpaceX and x.ai, takes that public with supervoting control intact, then has that entity acquire Tesla. Full control secured. 2. X.ai is developing the brain, Tesla is developing the body (and has the manufacturing prowess to build lots of them), and SpaceX is developing the food needed to grow and expand. Food is essentially energy, and space is where they think they can get it most efficiently. Without SpaceX they will have a baby with no food. Also if it is easier and cheaper to scale AI in space, they will need that advantage to compete with Google's cost advantage on compute (less reliance on Nvidia).

Tesla merger with xAI makes way more sense than spacex merger with either of them. But if stories are correct, then no spacex ipo this summer

@TheRealMadOx @JackPosobiec @JoshShapiroPA Like do you and Jack know what anti-semitism is referring to in Josh’s post?

@JackPosobiec @JoshShapiroPA This is too good to be true. Shapiro is his own worst enemy.

Hi @JoshShapiroPA! Me again. I see you are attacking JD to NBC for not using the word ‘Jews’ in his Holocaust post You, yourself, did the same exact thing in your own tweet You’re a total joke, Josh!

I love that people are community noting @BarackObama that "he did it too" when the entire premise of the current rise to power was that it wasn't being done the right way.
