@MichaelGannotti @googlegemma What do you use to execute the code and see if it works?

@googlegemma Running on my phone and coding. Wild!

Gemma 4 was released 3 days ago. What have you built with it so far? Show us what you got! 👇

@PJaccetturo What respectable company would want to devalue their brand by promoting a video that's obviously made by AI?

I used to shoot $500k pharmaceutical commercials. I made this for $500 in Veo 3 credits in less than a day. What’s the argument for spending $500K now? (Steal my prompt below 👇🏼)

@dieworkwear See Derek's post find out who in the image is remotely right wing no need to check thread, Derek will attack said person works 100% of the time

There's a very subtle difference in how these two jackets fit. Can you spot it? 🧵

@Aerocles I asked for a house Gen Z can afford and this is what I got 🤔

I asked Google to create a modern housing development that Millennials could afford and this is what it came up with 🤔

When you ask your team if they got 3 quotes before choosing a vendor

@sweatystartup Best engagement baiter by far

I just refused to hire an employee because they had an Android phone.

@realEstateTrent Sorry I was on mute *awkward laughter*

It's 2024 and somebody is still on mute on just about every call

Stay informed about market trends and supplier capabilities. Knowledge is power, and having up-to-date information gives you an edge in negotiations. Knowledge equals leverage.

Expert negotiators can often bridge gaps that seem insurmountable. Their experience and techniques might be what’s needed to clinch the deal. Sometimes, expertise is the key to unlocking agreement.

Professional buyers know: The best deals aren’t found, they’re negotiated. The secret ingredient? Patience and a whole lot of coffee.

Leverage in negotiations is your hidden superpower. Knowing your strengths and how they align with your supplier’s needs can shift the balance in your favor. It’s all about playing your cards right.

A good procurement manager is like a superhero. Their power? Turning tight budgets into incredible outcomes. (capes optional)

Longer payment terms with suppliers can be a game changer. They provide the flexibility to manage cash flow better. Allowing you to invest in growth and navigate unexpected expenses.

You wouldn’t try to fix a big plumbing issue by yourself so why would you try to negotiate a big deal Experience is key in negotiations

@BryceWGarcia I did the same with a 650i, cost a fortune! I still secretly love it and want it back though

My WORST financial decision: Buying a BMW. I bought a 2013 BMW 328i for $10,000. The result: • More than $10K in repairs • It constantly needs service • The problems never end I will NEVER buy a BMW ever again.

@nickywonka The good thing is that all your competitors are buying spot right now as well. It’s bad for everyone

I run a chocolate business and cocoa just hit a 100 year high by miles FML AMA

@SAOliver_Atty Funny how in a crash these old cars would do much worse than a newer one but the big brain energy doesn’t think that far

We get it… You drive an old paid off car. You “totally could” drive whatever you want, but you don’t because you have super big brain energy. I see at least 5 of these posts a day…

@realEstateTrent It’s important for the ego that’s for sure

The most misguided thing new grads believe is that first year salary is the most important thing

@Terrebitz @spencertbarber Panama - safer, newly developing tourism Guatemala - cheaper, eternal spring climate Colombia - cheaper, better food, need to know the right places

@DoanDemiran @spencertbarber LOL. Name a few

These are 2 things to consider if moving to Costa Rica. 1. Costa Rica will not be cheaper For the first 70,000 a year, for each dollar you save, you’ll lose it on something else. If it wasn’t for housing, I might argue it costs more. It’s the intangibles and every dollar you spend past 70K where you see the big payoffs. 2. Life will be significantly less convenient. Gone are the days of same-day delivery and drive-through lanes. If you’re moving there, you need to see this as a bonus to the move, not a negative. Overall, if you’re moving down there to ‘live like a king on 100K,’ you’ll be very disappointed. If you’re moving to have better food better private schools great climate slower lifestyle access to beach & nature overall positive day to day interactions you'll be satisfied

First-time yoga vs. first-time negotiating: •Both involve awkward positions. •Both can leave you feeling a bit twisted. Not where you want to be when a big deal is involved
