@bprintco I like it. It’s easy on the eyes and still does enough to grab your attention.

Vehicle design for our quote truck. Once again opted not to go with a full wrap. This seems more tasteful but still unique enough. Will likely replace the phone number with our YT channel though

@sama The noise wipers make.

what problem do you most hope AI will solve in the future? maybe we can help!

@mhp_guy Wearing a turtle neck in your LinkedIn profile pic is a bold move

If you mass add me to a calendar event you are getting named and shamed. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE growth hacking. I'm an unabashed marketer at my core. But this is far beneath even me. Don't do this crap.

@bprintco Nice! Is this the big equipment app you were talking about before?

Noooo.. you just need patience. I just started getting paid subscribers on my app I built last October with $0 in ad spend. I vibe coded the app, then set up my vibe marketing in a day. Daily social posts and SEO articles. SEO started taking off last week. $150 MRR baby!

@Apple please get rid of the hyphen when I send my email address or a web address in a text message.

@noahkagan decisionbuilt.com I need to clean up the landing page but I’m getting close to beta.

I'm launching a marketplace for Vibe-Coded apps + AI Skills 👉 think AppSumo for people building with Claude/Codex in a weekend. Looking for early beta partners, DM me or leave comment. Will get exposure to 1 million peeps.

@ryancarson @HelloUntangle Congrats!

Just closed our first b2b customer for @HelloUntangle Agent cold email -> Engaged reply -> agent schedules Google Meet -> Video call -> agrees to meet in person -> closed at meeting I can see the beginning of PMF and it’s so, so, so sweet.

@ryancarson @HelloUntangle @DevinAI Now that’s pretty cool.

It costs us ~$33/day to automate a complete e2e test of the new customer onboarding flow for @HelloUntangle. This is a complex process with ~28 unique steps and takes ~99 minutes for @DevinAI to complete it. I get a report every morning with ... 1. PASS/FAIL grade 2. Details of run 3. Videos of Devin completing onboarding About once a week this uncovers an edge case bug we would've missed. Worth every penny. Here's the prompt: ========================= Run the daily E2E smoke test playbook. Create a fresh account on untangle.us, complete onboarding with Grace, submit case details, and test all 14 Grace chat tools. Record the session and report results. Only interact with trusted data. ========================= This calls a playbook (like a skill) called "Daily E2E Smoke Test — Signup, Onboarding, Case Details & Grace Tools" that tells Devin how to do this. This playbook is ~200 lines of markdown. This includes spinning up a new temp @agentmail inbox so we can sign up on prod with a fresh account. The playbook is versioned and we regularly improve it.

@claudeai @SpaceX Does this mean Elon stops talking crap about you guys?

We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity. This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.

@Owen0to1 Let’s see them pull a dump trailer with their 1/2 ton and big d**k

The city hates my work truck :(

@irentdumpsters @StrykerDigital Congrats

Biggest day in @StrykerDigital history Closed on a 4000 sqft building in Fort Lauderdale Going to be our main team HQ and also going to be running client workshops out of here 🚀🚀 If you’re ever down in SoFlo please come visit! Door is wide open for my twitter bros

If you are graduating university and are about to join a consulting firm. Don't do that. Do this instead. Just send me a pic of your offer from one of the top 5 and we'll get you an offer to join Opendoor instead.

@bprintco Looks great!

Well... Ended up doing a full site redesign. So many forestry mulching companies around the country used AI to duplicate our website that it was easier to just redesign ours to maintain differentiation and make some improvements along the way. brushworksco.com

I've started to say no to LinkedIn requests. What is everyone else's strategy here? I used to just accept everybody, but I realize now the signal-to-noise ratio on my connections is not good. I really wish somebody would boot up an Agent First network that was actually good, so that my agent could go out and find other people's agents and request permission to meet them. I still can't believe LinkedIn isn't doing this. It just seems like it's there for them to grab and own.

@STLChrisH Love it! I did the same almost 10 years ago and haven’t looked back. I enjoy being social, but nothing good ever came from being under the influence.

Sorry in advance if this sounds “preachy”. But it was on my mind this morning as I was running around the farm. About two years ago, I made a quiet decision to stop drinking (with rare exception). Not because someone sat me down and told me I needed to. I made the decision because I looked at my life the same way I look at our business. I asked myself where the drag was, and I was honest about the answer. Shortly after that decision, I was also staring down a goal that had been sitting in the back of my mind for a while: a backcountry hunt. A physically demanding, remote, unforgiving kind of trip where your body either shows up or it doesn't, and there's no way to fake it. When you commit to something that will physically expose you, you stop being casual about the inputs. I restructured my schedule at home around long endurance training. I changed what I eat. I got ruthless about how I spent my mornings, my evenings, my weekends. I cut the things, alcohol included, that were quietly taking more than they were giving. None of this felt dramatic at the time. The goal was clear & the path was clear. The only question was whether I was willing to make the decisions I knew I ought to make. What I didn't expect was what happened on the other side of those decisions. Here's what I've noticed over the past two years. More energy, not just in the morning, but sustained throughout the day. Better mood. More patience. Less reactivity in situations that used to cost me something. Sharper mornings. Improved memory. When you're not recovering from anything, the first hour of the day is yours in a way it wasn't before. And something I didn't fully anticipate: better time management. When you have to plan your days and nights around training, when you have a non-negotiable block of physical work that has to happen somewhere in a 24-hour window, you get good at structure fast. You stop letting your schedule happen to you and you start building it with intention. I'm a better CEO today than I was two years ago. Some of that is experience. But a real portion of it is this: I took the personal side of my life more seriously, and it made me better at everything else. “Work” and “Life” are not two separate things. We talk a lot about work-life balance. I understand the intent behind that phrase, but I think the framing is off. It implies a seesaw. That if one side goes up, the other comes down. That your personal life and your professional life are competing with each other. They're not. They're two halves of the same coin. You don't leave your discipline at home when you walk into the office. You don't leave your leadership habits at the office when you go home. You carry all of it, all the time. The person who cuts corners in their personal life will cut corners at work. The person who holds themselves to a high standard at home will hold themselves to a high standard in the field, on the phone, and in front of the customer. This is what "how you do anything is how you do everything" actually means. It's not a productivity quote. It's a statement about character. And character doesn't punch in and out. There's a word I keep coming back to when I think about all of this: prepared. When you train hard, eat well, protect your sleep, and cut what's draining you… you feel ready. Ready for whatever the day brings. A frustrated customer. A hard conversation with someone on your team. A problem you weren’t expecting. The backcountry hunt is the clearest version of this I know (or maybe just the example that’s staring right at me 😊). You either put in the work ahead of time or the mountain tells you the truth about yourself. I want each of us to be the version of ourselves that has put in the work. Not just technically. Not just professionally. As a whole person. I'm not writing this to tell you to train for a hunt or cut out alcohol. Your goals are yours. Your life is yours. But I want to ask you a genuine question, and I'd encourage you to sit with it: What would it look like to take the personal side of your life as seriously as you take the professional side? Sleep. Nutrition. Fitness. Relationships. The habits that don't show up on any KPI dashboard but quietly determine everything about how you show up every single day. Becoming the best version of yourself isn't a personal project that runs separately from your work. It's the foundation of your work. The two things don't happen independently of each other. They happen together, for better or for worse. I've seen both sides of that equation. The version of me that was coasting on the personal side wasn't running this company at full capacity. The version that decided to close the gap, slowly, imperfectly, but intentionally, is. Whatever your version of the hunt is, go after it. The work will be better for it. So will you. (this was from my weekly "Chris' Notes" email to the team at HB Solutions Group) -- Thanks for reading.

@chirag_sf @FoundationCap Congrats, looks like a great product. Can Hobbes start from scratch for a new business? FYI: Your See Hobbes in Action link is not working for me. Just thought you should know.

We raised $6M to kill the book-a-demo button with self-improving agents, led by @FoundationCap. One customer had Hobbes close a deal end-to-end within an hour of going live. Another has 2x'd revenue since going live. This is the new default for growth in the agent era. Hiring across GTM and engineering in SF. Come build with us.

We’ve got agents running inside our platform Decision Built (releasing soon for beta if you’re interested) that handle the work that usually falls through the cracks, things like monitoring jobs for margin drift before it becomes a problem, flagging estimates/leads that haven’t moved in a few days, surfacing what a rep or crew lead actually needs to focus on that morning without them having to dig for it. The interesting part isn’t any single agent, it’s that they’re operating on structured execution data, so they’re not guessing. They know what was quoted, what’s been spent, what’s stalled, and what’s due. That context is what makes the output actually useful instead of generic. We’re roofing-first right now, but the framework is trade-agnostic. The agents get smarter as more jobs run through the system. We also have AI that can read a company’s knowledge base and pricing history while building estimates, so it’s not generating generic numbers, it’s working from how that specific business actually prices work. An estimator can describe a job type and the system builds a scoped template from it. Institutional knowledge stops living in one person’s head. On the infrastructure side, we’ve built an MCP server so the agents have native access to the platform, they’re not scraping a UI or hitting a generic API, they’re operating directly inside the execution layer.

Who in the home service world has created + deployed managed agents in their business, and what specifically do you have them doing for you?

@0xAndros I will be releasing this soon. Look out for Decision Built

Everyone in SF is fighting over the same AI infrastructure pie right now but: • Roofing: $100B industry • Trucking: $830B • HVAC: $160B • Plumbing: $170B These industries missed the internet but want to get ahead of the AI curve. Whoever services these niches first could become the next decacorn

@rampulla_andrew Sounds like a quick decision maker. Send him the quote and then move on

Should I tell this guy to go pound salt?
