I've written dozens of landing pages for my own products over the past decade. Spent thousands on ads. Hired the coaches. Followed all the frameworks. Most still converted at 2%. Then I realized something that completely changed how I think about landing pages. The problem wasn't the copy, the design, or the offer. The entire model was backwards.

I would absolutely crush it as CTO of Blueprint! @gyrerenwick I just reached out to you via LinkedIn connection. Heads up @jasonfried and @dan_manges please let Gyre and Bryan know why I'm their man to get it done in Ruby on Rails
Bryan Johnson@bryan_johnson

We just raised $60 million for Blueprint. To bring my longevity protocol to you. Our society has made us unwell…metabolically, mentally, spiritually. We’re addicted. Social media, porn, nicotine, junk food, fast food, smartphones, streaming, energy drinks, and gambling. Each perfectly engineered to keep us in their grip. Years ago, I was owned by these systems. They wrecked me, and my health. I wish there had been someone in my life helping me break free. Blueprint will be that system. Collectively, we will claw our power back. Blueprint will take better care of people than they can themselves. Better than the healthcare system does. Better than our societal norms allow. We will be your home for health. Blueprint will help you feel clear-headed and vibrant. You will become more jacked and beautiful with our presence in your life. There’s nothing better than feeling your best. Some of the world’s most powerful people are backing Blueprint. Talent are pivoting their careers to join our team. They rightly see that Blueprint is in the right place, at the right time, for the global emergence of the new macro trend of health, anti-aging and Don’t Die. In this post I’ll cover: + Who’s investing + What Blueprint will be + Who’s joining + Open positions + How to get early access The next era of human is here. [WHO’S INVESTING] This remarkable group of people are Blueprint investors. They are backing the next great frontier: human longevity. + Akshay Bd + Alex Hormozi + Amanda Cassatt + Andrej Karpathy + Ari Emanuel + Balaji Srinivasan + Bill Lee + Brad Keywell + Brian & Veronica Grazer + Bryan Meehan + Cameron Winklevoss + Carter Reum + Chris Hollod + Dan Manges + Dave Morin + Don Wilson + Drew Houston + Emmett Shear + Eric Demuth + Fareed Adib + Generational Family Office + Jason Fried + Jay Shetty + Joe Gebbia + Joe Lonsdale + John Carmack + Joshua Kushner + Kamal Ravikant + Karim Beguir + Kevin Hartz + Kim Kardashian + Kyle Widrick + Logan Paul + Michael Cao + Michael Kives + Naval Ravikant + NIV + Olaf Carlson-Wee + Paris Hilton + Pippa Lamb + Saquon Barkley + Ken Katz + Seth Bannon + Shayne Coplan + Steve Aoki + Steven Bartlett + Suna Said + Tyler Winklevoss + Winnie Liu + Wojciech Zaremba [TEAM] Defeating death would be humanity’s greatest accomplishment. Big things are happening right now in our small corner of the galaxy. We see the consequence of this moment and are working to positively influence the future of intelligent existence. We believe that product is philosophy and companies can influence the world. Join if you love to work insanely hard and also get eight hours of sleep. Joining our team as CEO is Gyre Renwick. He was previously President of Modern Health and before that an executive at Google Health and Lyft Healthcare. Gyre builds complex health systems into growth engines. In this next chapter, I am doubling down on Blueprint and Don’t Die. I’m all in. Gyre will run the business and I will focus on vision, strategy, and birthing Don’t Die into the world. Blueprint is the practical manifestation of Don’t Die. They are the same thing. I will continue to juggle many full-time jobs: rejuvenation athlete, Blueprint vision, leading the Don’t Die moral philosophy and ideology, building a global community, and content creation. Ultimately, both Blueprint & Don’t Die ladder up to the same thing, answering the question: ‘what does humanity do as we give birth to super intelligence?’. Kate Tolo (co-founder), Gyre, and I will be in lockstep building this mission together. Roles we are filling now: + Chief Technology Officer + Chief Product Officer + Chief Medical Officer + Chief Marketing Officer + Engineers of all types + See all open roles Refer your most talented friends. If you don’t see a job fit, still email us. [BLUEPRINT VISION] We’re making my protocol accessible to everyone. To replicate everything including the measurements, protocols, therapies - and make it easy and accessible for others to do in a community. For your family and friends to do this too. Many think that the world’s most powerful people have their health figured out. The truth is, most everyone is floundering. Luxury concierge services often do little for wealthy people as the biggest gains are not in expensive therapies but daily habits. We will help you build life foundations, starting with the basics and graduating to advanced therapies. Our goal is to be more effective in helping you achieve your health goals than any health system or concierge in the world. Blueprint will build around: + your preferences + your budget + your preexisting conditions + your prior results + your prescriptions + your level of effort It’s health within context. I built Blueprint to solve my own problem. My body and mind were broken, and I didn’t know who to trust to help me fix it. Everyone disagreed with everyone else. I found sanity in gathering a team of doctors and building a protocol based upon robust measurement and scientific evidence. It’s a methodical process that produces better outcomes and results in fewer mistakes and wasted time. After my team and I built a protocol for me, my friends and family asked if they could get access too.  Then their friends and family asked and I said yes again. The circle kept on expanding until we stumbled into Blueprint becoming a company. We will tell you to do less. Most good health can be achieved with very little effort. It’s the systems, infrastructure, knowledge, and piecing through the noise that is hard. Blueprint is Bryan Johnson’s protocol, for everyone. What this will practically mean: + Blood draws + Food delivery + GLP-1s + Rx prescriptions + Free protocols + Toxin testing + At-home tests + Skin care & hair care + Nutrition & supplementation + Advanced therapies And your AI health companion will make it simple. I like to call this my Autonomous Self. In the same way you put in an address and digital navigation tells you the best way to get there, Blueprint is navigation to vibrance. Our goal is to remove the thinking and hassle for you so that you can focus on building durable life habits and achieve the best health of your life. I love thinking about what the future will say about us. When I think from the perspective of those who exist in the year 2500, I think they’ll observe that the 2020s and 2030s was the time when humans figured out that they were the first generation who wouldn’t die. Early access below. What an amazing opportunity. Let’s do this together. Bryan

Rails is still the best tool for building an online business. The more I use JS (React, TS, etc.) the more I realize that.

The funny thing about AI is realizing how easy it is to mimic our (so-called) intelligence. Are we really that smart? Or are we just good at pattern recognition?

The hard thing about talking to people is realizing that everyone thinks he's right, even though that's rarely the case. The second hardest is realizing you might not be right either.

I send most of my support questions on the weekend. That's when I have time to shop. And if a company answers, on the weekend, they've got me as a client. That's how impressed I am. AI makes support run on autopilot. Support agents can automate that for tou.

The #1 lesson I've learned about running a business is lead generation keeps the lights on. I made an AI generator that's helps me brainstorm lead magnet ideas. Link in profile if you want it.

Our Fine-Tuned AI SDR has booked this client over 75 qualified sales appointments in the 7 days alone. With average close rate of 22% and a ticket price of $6500, that's an additional $107,250 in revenue. There are a lot of businesses that are wasting thousands and thousands of dollars a month on "appointment setters".... We live in 2025, you can leverage AI Agents to fully qualify, converse, and book appointments for you. Comment the word "Setter" down below and I'll send you a free guide that show's how this agent works.

@svpino I tried a bunch of options (including Wordpress, Jekyll, NextJS, etc). I think the best option is Sitepress

I want to start blogging again. (I know, yuck, but c'est la vie.) More than anything, I want to own my domain and the content I put up there. I'm unwilling to sacrifice this at the altar of a "beautiful interface" or "convenience." My domain. My content. My rules. Where should I go? Please, don't say WordPress.

@Shpigford What seems to be missing? Not sure what Hotwire and LLMs have in common. I'm using langchainrb and it does everything I need.

Rails 8 + Hotwire + Postgres is arguably the perfect stack for modern web products. But it continues to lack good support from LLMs due to terrible Hotwire docs and very few examples of building products/features/components with it. Massive missed opportunity.

@chalmagean I've had a similar experience, but I deploy on an Ubuntu VPS without Docker. I forgot how difficult or easy it was to deploy years ago. Now, I just copy and paste my old bash history to use a new Ubuntu or Rails version, or duplicate the VPS if all versions are the same.

If you're thinking about how much 💰 you'll save switching from something like Heroku to Kamal, think again. Lost a whole day with stupid errors that lack documentation.

@justinamarsh Well, you only go through the setup phase once per project. So it depends on how many production-ready project you create in a relatively short amount of time. I've deployed other projects with Kamal, but I forgot how to do it because I don't do it that often.

@chalmagean I think that there is an initial learning curve and documentation can for sure be improved, but I think once you do it once then it’s pretty easy.

Value is subjective, so it's almost impossible to come up with good product ideas unless you're building products for yourself. The alternative is to talk to people. Which is also the hardest.

The problem with MVPs (minimum viable products) is people tend to underestimate what the table stakes are. Making useful stuff is about helping people, not about features and buzzwords.

Andrej Karpathy@karpathy·
The reality of building web apps in 2025 is that it's a bit like assembling IKEA furniture. There's no "full-stack" product with batteries included, you have to piece together and configure many individual services: - frontend / backend (e.g. React, Next.js, APIs) - hosting (cdn, https, domains, autoscaling) - database - authentication (custom, social logins) - blob storage (file uploads, urls, cdn-backed) - email - payments - background jobs - analytics - monitoring - dev tools (CI/CD, staging) - secrets - ... I'm relatively new to modern web dev and find the above a bit overwhelming, e.g. I'm embarrassed to share it took me ~3 hours the other day to create and configure a supabase with a vercel app and resolve a few errors. The second you stray just slightly from the "getting started" tutorial in the docs you're suddenly in the wilderness. It's not even code, it's... configurations, plumbing, orchestration, workflows, best practices. A lot of glory will go to whoever figures out how to make it accessible and "just work" out of the box, for both humans and, increasingly and especially, AIs.
