1/ I'm 43. I have $50k in debt, no savings, and I'm still renting. I'm still working full time as Director of Cultivation at a medical cannabis facility. This isn't a sob story. It's just where a lot of us are at right now.

@hridoyreh And selling to the right people lol. Tech bros are selling tech to tech bros. You want to make a difference… get in the hands of people who know how to build real world operations

Marketing is not about finding clever ways to sell what you make. It's the art of creating real value for customers...

@alexmacgregor__ You’re telling me!!! Haha I'm 43, l've never written a line of code, but | just built a local inference Al cluster using zero code and two mid-tier gaming PCs.

Computers used to retrieve, moving forward they're gonna be generative. Crazy changes coming at chip, infra, model, app layers incoming.

I'm 43, l've never written a line of code, but | just built a world-class local inference Al cluster using zero code and two mid-tier gaming PCs. Tonight, that cluster built a fully functional job-costing' software for blue collar operators and shipped it to Gumroad in 60 minutes. The Al handled the heavy lifting and my 27 years of grimy hands provided the logic. The leverage is absolute insanity.

What did you build this week? Drop your project URL 👇🏻 Let’s drive some traffic

Being a reply guy is exhausting. Yet I did it consistently for 14 days. Results: +4k followers + 102M impressions All from 50+ replies daily. It’s the best growth hack for small accounts.

Tom ! I'm 43, I've never written a line of code, but I just built a world-class local inference AI cluster using zero code and two mid-tier gaming PCs. Tonight, that cluster built a fully functional 'job-costing' software for blue collar operators and shipped it to Gumroad in 60 minutes. The AI handled the heavy lifting and my 27 years of grimy hands provided the logic. The leverage is absolute insanity. Would be an honor to come on the show and break down how working-class operators are actually weaponizing this tech in the dirt.

AI does the heavy lifting at my company, but humans make the final call. Flip that and you'll spend $10K building something nobody wants. I watch founders get excited about AI. Then they start automating everything they can think of.

@toddsaunders I’m 43, I don’t know a single line of code, and I’ve been blue collar my whole life. And I just built my own AI agent in my basement! Lol, what a world.

We launched a FB group for blue collar builders. So many cool stories like this! facebook.com/groups/9409686…

I know Silicon Valley startups don't want to hear this..... But the combination of someone in the trades with deep domain expertise and Claude Code will run circles around your generic software. I talked to Cory LaChance this morning, a mechanical engineer in industrial piping construction in Houston. He normally works with chemical plants and refineries, but now he also works with the terminal He reached out in a DM a few days ago and I was so fired up by his story, I asked him if we could record the conversation and share it. He built a full application that industrial contractors are using every day. It reads piping isometric drawings and automatically extracts every weld count, every material spec, every commodity code. Work that took 10 minutes per drawing now takes 60 seconds. It can do 100 drawings in five minutes, saving days of time. His co-workers are all mind blown, and when he talks to them, it's like they are speaking different languages. His fabrication shop uses it daily, and he built the entire thing in 8 weeks. During those 8 weeks he also had to learn everything about Claude Code, the terminal, VS Code, everything. My favorite quote from him was when he said, "I literally did this with zero outside help other than the AI. My favorite tools are screenshots, step by step instructions and asking Claude to explain things like I'm five." Every trades worker with deep expertise and a willingness to sit down with Claude Code for a few weekends is now a potential software founder. I can't wait to meet more people like Cory.

@FrankBr05713205 @DunBiken @chefsevenn This is the way

@DunBiken @chefsevenn Me too, friend. I’ve been blue-collar all my life.

Be honest because I’m trying to prove a point

@blucollarbible Amen

This is how you bridge the gap and illuminate the blue-collar blindspot

@Mooreliberty83 @2ray_degenemax I back the blue!

@2ray_degenemax I wouldn’t call myself a redneck but I am a blue collar worker and have a small homestead and this is my footwear from sun up to sun down

日本のレッドネックを目指して日々頑張っています。ボロアパートに住みながら銃をカスタムし、ブーツを履いてマスタングに乗ってます。 レッドネックは農作業などを想定し常にブーツ履いてるイメージがあるので、プライベートではブーツしか履かない生活を10年以上続けています。

@FAFOFarmsTX I hate ticks!!! What the hardest part about running your farm?

Lots of questions, comments, and concerns about our tick eating machines we posted yesterday the Guinea Fowl. - First & foremost they're retarded -Loud AF Ours are actually pretty quiet, but they are great living alarm systems -Eat 300-1000 bugs a day Haven't had a tick or chigger issue since we've brought them onto the property -Can clear an 8' fence -Have been told they're aggressive towards roosters, but that hasn't been our experience -Apparently they're delicious -Wouldn't eat the eggs The noise & stupidity are big downsides for a lot of folks, but after experiencing our first summer out here with constant chigger & tick bites they're a huge net positive in our opinion to have on the farm.

I’m 43, I don’t know a single line of code, and I’m definitely not a Silicon Valley tech bro. But tonight, I just used my custom AI agent I put together (no code) to build a complete profit-tracking tool for pressure washing crews. The AI hype is full of corporate fluff. I want to use it to help the little guy. 👇@Gumroad echoadmin1.gumroad.com/l/pressure-was…

@Farmer31548981 @gregorylent @JakeCan72 My kind of people 💪🫀

@gregorylent @JakeCan72 Big-ags over dying in the corner I wouldn't expect a response, Pride gets in their way.

13,000 farmers applied to a USDA regenerative agriculture pilot within days of launch. The program had $700 million behind it. RFK Jr. is now pushing a $50 billion expansion. The argument is direct: depleted soil produces food your body can’t actually use. Poor nutrition at that scale drives chronic disease at a level no existing system was designed to reverse. The pilot funds whole-farm transitions back to soil biology — away from synthetic inputs, toward what the land was doing before anyone decided to shortcut it. The Farm Bill just stripped liability protections from pesticide manufacturers 280 to 142. Congress doesn’t strip liability shields by accident. Sick soil. Sick food. Sick country. RFK is working the chain in reverse. Source: Epoch Times / USDA / HHS, May 2–3, 2026

@Steezehuman God this hits...

Small accounts tweeting to absolutely ZERO engagement

7/ If youre an operator, a builder, a logistics guy, a cultivation director, a small business owner, or just someone who's good at what they do but sick of the time for money trap... If you're worn out but not lazy... If you're over 40 and still grinding while trying to build something real on the side... Follow along. I'm going to document every step. The wins, the fuck ups, and whatever actually moves the needle. No guru bullshit. Just one stubborn operator trying to build leverage before he runs out of gas.

6/ I'm scared as hell. Scared of missing the window. Scared that I don't know how to build an audience from zero. Scared that this might all be chasing ghosts. But I'm doing it anyway.

1/ I'm 43. I have $50k in debt, no savings, and I'm still renting. I'm still working full time as Director of Cultivation at a medical cannabis facility. This isn't a sob story. It's just where a lot of us are at right now.
