@JohnSPepper Claude Code is a game changer. For just LLM chat, they each have pros and cons.

I’ve tried for 2 weeks to switch my work from ChatGPT to Claude, but in the end, I like ChatGPT better and don’t have any great explanation as to why. Does anyone have any reasons why not to switch away from ChatGPT they can share so I have data vs just my gut feeling? (Hello? Bueller? Man I miss when I could get responses, but Ill keep trying anyway)

@howietl Want this. Wow.

I've been personally burning through billions of tokens a week for the past few months as a builder. Today I'm excited to announce Hyperagent, by Airtable. An agents platform where every session gets its own isolated, full computing environment in the cloud — no Mac Mini required. Real browser, code execution, image/video generation, data warehouse access, hundreds of integrations, and the ability to learn any new API as a skill. Deep domain expertise through skill learning. Teach the agent how your firm evaluates startups or how your team runs due diligence — now anyone on the team gets output that reflects your actual methodology, not a generic template. One-click deployment into Slack as intelligent coworkers. These aren't bots that wait to be @mentioned — they follow conversations, understand context, and act when relevant. And a command center to oversee and continuously improve your entire fleet of agents at scale. We're onboarding early users now. hyperagent.com

@nhglass @dafrankel @Olo Beautiful encapsulation of the entrepreneurial journey @dafrankel. @nhglass an incredible example.

@dafrankel @Olo Too kind, as always, @dafrankel. Thank you for inspiring me, teaching me, and being the wind beneath @Olo’s wings for two decades and beyond. Miles to go before we sleep! 🚀

Two Decades of Online Ordering and He’s Still Hungry Entrepreneur isn’t a job title. It’s a calling. For the best, it’s a way of being that never shuts off. For twenty years, @Olo Founder/CEO @nhglass has proven that true entrepreneurs don’t stop when the road gets hard. More impressively, they don’t let up when it gets easier, either. Noah started Olo before smartphones. Well before @UberEats . He had a vision for how we’d order food that would take the industry decades to digest. That’s why, I couldn’t be more excited to cheer him on as he leads Olo into a new era following the $2B acquisition by @thomabravo. Having had the pleasure to work with Noah for two decades, I want to share a few reflections: It would have been easy for Noah to stop in the first year, when ordering from a T9 phone seemed like a novelty instead of the next big thing. It would have been easy to stop in the decade that followed, when growth came painfully slowly. It would have been easy, after ten years of toil, to sell Olo to a customer and start over. It would have been easy to let a banker organize a sale for hundreds of millions of dollars once he started landing clients like @FiveGuys, @TheCCF or @MrBeastBurger. It would have been easy to let up as CEO after a few years leading a public company. But Noah never stopped. Olo didn’t need to go public. The business was, and is, strong. Noah didn’t need it either. He’s had no shortage of easy outs in his journey: setbacks and endurance tests that would have crushed most founders, and opportunities that would have set him up for life. For most founders, a major transaction marks the beginning of an exit. For Noah, I think this is just another inflection point in what has truly become his life’s work. Noah has shown that the relentless compounding of effort, relationships, and belief can turn an early hunch and a hunger for success into an industry-defining company. I was proud to be Noah’s first investor. My day-to-day involvement with Olo ended last week. However, my admiration has not. Over the span of two decades, he’s taught me one of the most profound lessons of my career: true entrepreneurs don’t look for finish lines, they just keep racing towards the next mile marker.

@Kazanjy 100%. It represents a constant tax on real productivity — the entire company assumes it must be open at all times no matter how many times we try to educate to the contrary.

I hate Slack because of the constant interruptions, but probably the more toxic thing about it is how it fools people into thinking they're actually communicating and getting things done.

@mhdempsey Subscribe. Want.

Has anybody hacked together an app that can sit between Spotify and kindle so I can switch between audiobook and reading? Feel like with speech to text and text to speech and vice versa one could do so?

@Vivek OK. But can we start **after** you give up on being the @SacramentoKings owner?

@Kazanjy Yessir. And screens all the spam that ensues from your phone showing up on Zoominfo. Turns out the B2B founders selling to CEOs also read your book.

@ZGoldstein Does it receive text messages?

Founders: Put your cell phone number in your signature.

@SacramentoKings I'd prefer a @luka7doncic meet and greet but, welp, that ship sailed...

@SecurinNewGM Gafford would have been a great fit for Kings for some rim protection. Mavs got him for Richuan Holmes and a first round pick. Kings traded Richuan Holmes AND our first round pick to the Mavs for… nothing.

LOLOL all you can do is laugh. Look at what Vivek and Monte have been up to

@rexsalisbury @finix

thought it'd be fun to put together a map of SF Fintech. who am I missing!?

@RSerna2010 @finix @AcrewCapital @lightspeedvp @leappartners Love this. Incredible execution from the Finix team to get here and much more to come.

Today @finix is excited to announce we’ve raised $75M in Series C funding led by @AcrewCapital, co-led by @lightspeedvp and @leappartners. When we started Finix, we were big believers in the developer movement. We still are! Since then, we’ve recognized that there’s been a major shift in the market. Even businesses that have developers don’t want to spend their time or resources on payments — they want highly brandable and configurable payment components. From startups to publicly traded companies, merchants to vertical SaaS companies, customers of all sizes are taking advantage of Finix’s no-code solutions. Today, every feature in Finix's broad product suite is now available in no-code, low-code and API-driven solutions. If Adyen is for the enterprise, Square is for card present SMBs, Stripe is for the developer-centric startup, Finix is for the 22M businesses without enough developers.

LFG. One of my favorite people and one of my most exciting and enthusiastic investments. If you don’t know @finix and @RSerna2010, you will soon.

@MaddySukoru @shaunmmaguire Quite quickly, actually. There was a period where he was really advancing dialogue on some important issues. Just unfollowed. This is now looking a lot like willful ignorance.

@shaunmmaguire This is slowly turning into a parody account.

Chris Rufo coming in with real journalism, not slapstick moderation Trump may sometimes get the small details wrong but he usually has the big picture correct In this video the migrants were from Africa not Haiti, and it was in Dayton (30 min drive from Springfield)

@Kazanjy What’s your route?

Just sent my cousins who are in town from Chicago on an hourlong tour of San Francisco in a Waymo and they were over the moon.

@camfassett @tacobell congrats amazing. next time consider crossing the finish line at Pacifica TB - epic location.

today i ran the taco bell marathon, a route i planned through san francisco stopping at 6 taco bell “aid stations” (but one was closed) takeaways: breakfast menu is underrated, and cinnamon twists are optimal running fuel. when am i getting sponsored @tacobell

And this is why regional/community banks exist and should be protected vs. only the "too big to fail"...

No joke. Corp bank acct migrated from #FirstRepublic to @jpmorgan. Need to send wire slightly larger than wire limit. At FRB — call your named banker to help in real-time. At @Chase "You will need to attend 20-30 minute fraud awareness training before can increase wire limit."
