its so cute when ChatGPT and Claude disagree with each other

@karimatiyeh @eglyman Move up to North Bay Road to increase Lemon Stand ARR slope.

Funny you mention lemonade stands. My kids just launched theirs on Ramp. $5K ARR after day one. Currently raising a Series A. Investors: DM me. They're very serious about unit economics. Margins on lemonade are unreal. Fully vertically integrated with lemons growing in the backyard.

Granola was overkill for my markdown note setup, so I had Claude build a fully local transcription CLI with a skill that works great and composes well with others. Read more: hrescak.com/notes/transcri…

@howard Roam auto DND when in a meet/zoom is an awesome feature

if your ceo is not Claude Coding you're NGMI

@0xWaldox0 ah i'm sorry man i am terrible at X Dms... but highly responsive on Roam dms!

@howard only if the dm was pure gold. otherwise, it’s just self-preservation.

Arrogance and Incorrectness is the quadrant of danger.

in an era where addition is easier than ever, subtraction will be the key to greatness

@debgotwired yeah and we're gonna make it!

@howard aren’t you the CEO?

@jessetrowe @roam hehe he is probing the limits of our 3 character thought bubble design.

Sequoia’s @carl_eschenbach says the SaaSpocalypse narrative is "completely overblown," and that it's not a zero-sum game between incumbent SaaS and AI-native newcomers: "Incumbency is incredibly powerful in enterprise. Incumbency is even more powerful when a company like Workday has a 98% gross retention rate across 11,000 customers, with 65%+ of them being Fortune 500 companies. They’re not going anywhere." "That all being said, [with] the pace and rate of change that can happen outside of the big incumbents and big SaaS companies...[new companies] have an opportunity to start completely fresh, and start from scratch." "They get to leverage all the technologies and all the models that are out there, and build agents and agentic solutions faster than anyone else. And they're going to be able to go into the enterprise and provide value on day one, either on their own, or on top of and through some of these SaaS companies."

Honestly if Meta paid $14B+ to get the Alex + Scale team to reboot their AI strategy ... Someone should pick me and Amelia up for a mere $140m or so to help them with their AI Agent strategy It would be cheap

Roam Makes Remote Work…..from the DMV ☠️ @roam @howard

@RonP @rohanpaul_ai @roam yeah and we also have all the chats as well as presence data, and we are doing all of this!

@rohanpaul_ai @roam too. especially for ad hoc conversations across the company where a lot of decisions get made. cc: @howard

Ali Ghodsi, the cofounder and CEO of Databricks, says Zoom has a massive chance to build an AI-first product, that could seriously disrupt the traditional enterprise SAAS. Because it sits on the largest datasets of meeting videos and transcripts. The big pain in enterprise software is data entry and coordination. Zoom already sits on the raw input: every customer call and internal meeting, plus the video, audio, and transcript. If Zoom can reliably pull out decisions, context, and action items, then write them back into the right system of record automatically, as an AI-first workflow layer, it becomes the front door for work. That would replace lots of separate SAAS tools that exist mainly to collect notes and updates. --- Video from 'Bg2 Pod' YT channel (link in comment)
