@walls_jason1 @mcuban Solid! I’m a tradesman (carpentry/drywall/painting) in Kentucky. Also a guitar shop owner. Thank you for sharing your story! I e started using AI tools (NotebookLM/Gemini) to teach myself how to work on electric guitar and amp circuitry. It’s truly a game changer!

Yesterday Mark Cuban reposted my work, DM'd me, and told me to keep telling my story. So here it is. I'm a Master Electrician. IBEW Local 369. 15 years pulling wire in Kentucky. Zero coding background. I didn't go to Stanford. I went to trade school. Every week I'd show up to a home where someone just bought a Tesla or a Rivian. And every time, someone had already told them they needed a $3,000-$5,000 panel upgrade to install a charger. 70% of the time? They didn't need it. The math is in the NEC — Section 220.82. Load calculations. But nobody was doing them for homeowners. Electricians upsell. Dealers don't know. And the homeowner just pays. I got angry enough to build something about it. I found @claudeai. No coding experience. I just started talking to it like I'd explain a job to an apprentice. "Here's how load calcs work. Here's the NEC code. Now help me build a tool that does this." 6 months later — @ChargeRight is live. Real software. Stripe payments. PDF reports. NEC 220.82 calculations automated. $12.99 instead of a $500 truck roll. I'm still pulling wire. I still take service calls. I wake up at 5:05 AM for work. But something shifted. Yesterday @vivilinsv published my story as Claude Builder Spotlight #1. Mark Cuban saw it. The Claude community showed up. And for the first time, I felt like this thing I built in my kitchen might actually matter. I'm not a tech founder. I'm a dad who wants to coach little league and be home for dinner. I just happened to build something that helps people. If you're in the trades and thinking about using AI — do it. The barrier isn't technical skill. It's believing you're allowed to try. EVchargeright.com

@michaeljburry Gotcha, nice. I love the experimentation! I think magnets play a really important role and pickup character. I repaired a ‘67 SG with the original PAT Pending buckers and it sounded amazing. Cheers!

@PiEsRyum Same rewound PAF in both videos, but this is bridge pickup only, did not mix in neck. and the magnets were from 57 (a2) and 59 (a4) by standardized inductance

Rosie’s in the shop with me today! 🐶 🎸

@bradluttrell Looks like a release date of 3/13

@PiEsRyum I skimmed that letter but haven't dug in much

@CJNitkowski The bond is real. It’s like caring for a beloved pet.

My happiness directly correlating with the health and activity of my sourdough starter is not an emotion I ever saw coming.

Name one

@bradluttrell An excellent album. My favorite of his so far.

Nicholas Jamerson's new album is chock full of impressive tracks, all deeply personal to Nick. Here is what Nick had to say about "Dark in Every Day:" "I was born in 1985. I didn’t grow up with a phone in my hand. The internet didn’t really show up until junior high. I remember the sound of dial-up, the patience it took to wait on things to load. I was a freshman in college when Facebook started to spread. I’ve lived right on the edge of two worlds—part analog, part digital. Lately, I’ve been thinking about how much noise there is. How much we’re asked to carry every day. Facebook memories, old pictures, news, opinions, updates. Some days I feel buried in it. Not just by what’s happening now—but by everything that’s already happened, showing back up in my pocket. I’ve been trying to stay grounded. Trying to keep one foot in the modern world and one in the woods. When it gets too loud, I go outside. When it gets too heavy, I unplug. It’s not perfect, but it helps. This new song, “Dark in Every Day,” was born from that space—where I’m trying to sort through the weight, and still look for light. That’s what the whole record is about, really. It’s easy to get off track, but I’m doing my best to walk the narrow way." Cowritten with Don Rogers. Produced by Rachel Baiman. Check it out on "The Narrow Way"

If this reaches seven figures I will fly the winner to Miami, take them to McDonald’s for lunch and personally deliver my preowned underwear ebay.com/itm/3886885957…

Win this @CampingWorld RV. I’ll pick one. Must tell me why and Retweet #CampingWorldLovesUSA

@marcuslemonis @CampingWorld Our aging pop-up needs a new home and we would like a nice new camper for weekend getaways to the Red River Gorge:)

@CJNitkowski I reckon they f’d around and found out.

@CJNitkowski CJ, you made my wife’s night with that download. She’s a baseball nerd (I say this lovingly) and eats up all things baseball and stats. In fact, when she attends Bravos games in-person she scores from the stands:)
