@Molson_Hart @bobbyfijan This statement doesn’t even come close to covering the advantages of raising children here vs other areas: “walk to school type stuff.”

@bobbyfijan Walk to school type stuff yeah? My oldest is 4.5

Let me explain Dallas(s) 1. The summers are unbearable and this cannot be understood without moving there. You can't just visit Texas for 3 weeks in peak summer and understand it, because that's not why it's bad. It's bad because it's late October and it's 90+ and you're questioning your sanity as to whether not it will ever end. 2. Dallas' culture, superficially seems good, but once you dig down... 3. Dallas living is about the airport. You save money in Dallas and then fly out all the time because being in Dallas is rough. Airline travel in the US has declined a lot, so this way of life works less well. 4. The driving. It's dangerous. You need a tank and you're going to be sitting in it all the time. Dallas sort of seems like a city but it's not really. It's more like an area. 5. You can trade 3% state income tax for better weather, more trees, and fewer problems. I think Dallas is a solid place to live in a bigger house with A/C and grind for money aggressively for a short period of time and then move out of. Other than that, unless you are tied down there (job, family), I can't recommend it.

@FidelCacheFlow @pipelineclub100 👌

@pipelineclub100 Nah rather chase equity at no name start up cuz these order takers could never slang product like me

This is the kind of sales or that you want to work at

@FidelCacheFlow @salesxsaas Agree. I think this stuff is more about having stupid money. Who here wouldn’t build their own doomsday compound if they had a billion dollars? It’s basically the rich man’s tornado shelter.

@salesxsaas Wouldn’t be surprised it’s intentional laarp for company valuations. Relax. Your tool scrapes the internet faster than Google and runs if then statements Til AI integrates with super compute inside of robotics were far away from the possibility of doomsday scenarios

Something doesn’t sit right with the fact Sama (perhaps the most prolific AI leader of our time) is a MASSIVE doomsday prepper

@salesxsaas Sama is fake. He also did a complete pivot on his messaging right as Dario hate ramped. Most of the general public outside of our AI bubble hates and doesn’t trust either of them. And honestly it’s well deserved.

@RooktoRep Struggle with this as well.

A lot of sales reps hesitate to follow up because they think they’re being annoying. I fall into that trap sometimes too, but then I remind myself: 9/10 times when someone responds to me after multiple follow-ups, they usually start with something like “thanks for following up, things have been hectic recently.” or they say “please stop reaching out”? That’s still a win too - you can disqualify and move on / come back later. Following up is a win-win. You either get a reply or a reason to stop.

@clairevo Karens like this are going to get Europe left behind.

I can’t tell if this is a for real post. There are basically two options to auth something like Google to an AI tool: - oauth which inherits a specific set of user-scoped permissions. Only what the user has access to. - api/service token generated in GCP but typically would require an admin for access Openclaw in specific even requires you to create your own oauth app to connect at all. Not typically yolo-able in a corporate env. Admins for a properly managed Google workspace can 110% see which apps are connected, or in an advanced use case, which service tokens are generated. In addition, many teams have disabled connection to 3p apps by default, and permission has to be unlocked. I find these broad statements about risk super frustrating, because they incorrectly state the risk vector in one dimension (it could delete everything!!!!) and don’t offer insight into the practical controls that mitigate the real risk. This also leads teams applying the controls at the wrong point in the risk chain (no lobster for you!), which dampens AI adoption that would be net positive for the company and the employee.

@vasuman This is stupid.

AI has made remote work a death sentence for startups Get everyone under the same roof ASAP

@OnlyCFO Paying for model enterprise licenses is going to restructure some orgs.

Friend at ~2,000 software company just told me last week all the VPs were being asked: “Hypothetically, what could your department’s headcount look like today because of AI?” “We aren’t doing anything…the CEO is just thinking how AI could change the org chart” More is coming

@OnlyCFO Churn that expensive cloud security SaaS.

Have churned a couple of software vendors this month. Was interesting to watch how far they were willing to drop prices to retain us. Desperate times… Gross margins are going lower

@saleskhalifa Congrats! Now add a chef + cleaning service.

Almost 4 years ago I was an SDR making 37k base, 55k OTE While having to commute over and hour too and from work Today I got the biggest commission check in my life And a pay raise the same day for crushing my performance review This could be you if you were in Tech Sales You need to lock in, your future family depends on it

@ZackKorman Not at all.

@JLSumTweets Tbh I don’t think vanta and drata are going anywhere :(

I see a lot of stuff about Vanta today, so let me throw some cold water on that: Vanta recommends an audit firm, Advantage Partners, whose entire management team consists of former Vanta employees. The compliance automation industry is so broken.

@RooktoRep @samiksen15 Stop talking about it btw. Lol The minute the masses show up it’s over. Also pretty sure a couple of companies are trying to game the system. They’re not very sly about it.

@JLSumTweets @samiksen15 makes sense

My org recently started testing Reddit for prospecting.
 Basically tracking conversations in specific cloud infrastructure subreddits…
 -competitor complaints
-people asking for recommendations
-general frustrations
 Then triggering outreach based on that.
 Interested to see how this works because Reddit is very unique from other channels.
 Feels like there’s something there if done right.

@thedbeaudoin 100% (all free time is using AI, basically walk around the house with my laptop.)😂 Once you automate one task you want to do them all.

it's both a matter of intellectual curiosity about AI (ie. taking time to learn how to use it in your free time, following / reading the people talking about the latest developments and ways to apply it, etc.) and also literally using platforms to build agents for day to day work (ie. Claude Cowork, ChatAE (soon), etc.)

The sales reps that master agent building will be the million dollar reps of the next decade.

@saleskhalifa Hard agree. If that were my role, I’d be optimizing for channel relationships and prob the big ones like hyperscalers. However those people are also sales and not marketing.

Marketing has been quietly losing their seat at the C Suite table for the last 4 years And it's because they spent a decade optimizing for metrics that have nothing to do with revenue generated MQLs, impressions, brand lift, engagement rate, attributed pipeline (lol) Meanwhile sales shows up to the QBR with one number: closed won revenue When the CEO has to cut headcount, who do you think is getting the axe first? The team that can directly tie their work to revenue generated Or the team that needs a 47 slide deck to explain why the webinar campaign was a success I've watched it play out at multiple companies now: → CRO replaces CMO → Demand gen gets absorbed under sales ops → Brand team gets cut to one person → The remaining marketers all of a sudden start caring about pipeline Funny how that works The marketers who will survive the next 5 years are the ones who already think like sales people. Everyone else is going to find out the hard way that you can't impression your way to an IPO

@RooktoRep @samiksen15 Already been in there. Gold mine but converting to meetings/opportunities is not easy.

@samiksen15 what are you looking to dive into?

@saleskhalifa Agree. You’re lucky if you’re a part of a company that has embraced AI and doing it the right way.

@JLSumTweets 100% accurate, which is such an interesting dichotomy to live in I think the gap is only the most forward thinking tech companies can actually roll out these kinds of AI workflows and tools quick enough for employees to feel the impact

I actually think this is where most people get agents and skills wrong when using AI It’s much better to build and refine a personal agent or skill You can fine tune it exactly to your role, taste and output while also putting in the correct safeguards That being said, 95% of the population isn’t seriously using AI other than basic queries, much less using it for agents or a skill stack Tech is currently in a bubble because its so vital to our jobs, but next family or friend dinner you are at Ask the room? Most people are in ostrich mode right now, pretending AI isn’t going to change everything The gap is going to grow exponentially

@FidelCacheFlow Worst financial mistake I’ve ever made is overbuying. It’s tough because you want to max for wife and family. However, it’s just not smart and I knew it when I pulled the trigger.

One of the biggest life hacks is buying the home significantly under your ‘approval’ and going for the 15 year mortgage
