A big sign of maturity is being able to learn from people you don't even like.

I don't understand the signaling here. I have many ways of showing where I stand, but telling my barber "Before you cut my hair, put on a blindfold, take a slug of Everclear, and then think about the girl who rejected you in high school" is not one of them.

Never hire anyone in sales that doesn't care about money You'll see

Before chlorine was discovered, ancient civilizations turned to copper as a powerful natural defense against waterborne bacteria. Societies such as the Egyptians and Romans were far ahead of their era, using copper vessels to purify water and copper compounds to treat infections. Today, science explains this through the oligodynamic effect — the ability of copper ions to kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi even at very low concentrations. Unlike many modern disinfectants that attack a single target, copper works through multiple lethal mechanisms at once: it damages and ruptures microbial cell membranes, produces reactive oxygen species that destroy the pathogen’s DNA, and disrupts essential enzymes by displacing critical metals. This broad-spectrum attack makes it extremely difficult for bacteria to develop resistance, unlike what often happens with conventional antibiotics. While chlorine is still the go-to solution for large-scale water treatment, copper is experiencing a strong revival in healthcare and public spaces. Copper surfaces offer continuous “contact killing,” rapidly neutralizing dangerous superbugs like MRSA that can survive for weeks on stainless steel. The World Health Organization recognizes copper’s safety in drinking water at appropriate levels and highlights its advantage as a persistent antimicrobial agent compared to many volatile chemical disinfectants. By combining ancient knowledge with cutting-edge microbiology, copper is being rediscovered as a durable, low-toxicity solution in humanity’s ongoing battle against infectious diseases.

@arian_ghashghai @OfficialBBrooks It's never been about the logistics, always about the signal. Tons of rounds that don't technically need a "lead", get closed by having a *lead*. Iykyk

Routine reminder that you do not need a "lead" VC or "term sheet" if you're raising your round on a SAFE (technically speaking, there is no "round" when raising on SAFEs, as they are async instruments that are totally independent agreements between a VC and the company. "Rounds" with SAFEs are merely semantic constructs.) The only real "term" with a SAFE is the valuation cap, and it's not rocket science for either a smaller VC or the founders to set a reasonable val cap given the target round size and market dynamics In fact, holding off on taking smaller checks will kill the momentum of your raise if you don't close a "lead" in a short time order. On the flip side, taking small checks lets you get points on the board and accelerate your raise. Don't overcomplicate things for meaningless appearances.

Google Meet is an order of magnitude better than Zoom. It’s also free. I straight up don’t get why people use Zoom.

@jordan_ross_8F OpenClaw

The founders who figure out OpenClaw in the next 90 days are going to look like geniuses in 2027. The problem is most agency owners don't have time to figure out the install, the security risks, where to start, or what to actually hand it first. So my team built a 48-page beginner's guide that does it for you. Inside: — The exact prompts to hand it on day one — Plain English setup for Mac and Windows — How to secure it so it doesn't burn your business down — 42 copy-paste workflows across sales, marketing, ops, and finance Your competitors are sleeping on this. Comment OPENCLAW and I'll send it.

Cursor is cooked. They offered me $100 in credit, but then never told me it was applied, then had it expire immediately. No way a company splitting hairs with someone spending thousands a month over $100 is encouraging 🤦‍♂️

@mikefutia Ads

I just built a $10K/month creative strategist inside Claude Code 🤯 Give it your competitor Facebook page URLs → it scrapes their ads, watches every video with AI, and delivers a data-backed creative brief with 10 ad concepts in your brand voice. All inside Claude Code. Perfect for DTC brands and agencies who are still manually scrolling the Meta Ad Library, screenshotting ads into Google Docs, and guessing at what's working. If you're spending hours every week pulling competitor ads one by one, watching videos to figure out the hook, copying notes into a brief, and rewriting concepts from scratch every time... This system eliminates the entire loop: → Apify scrapes your competitors' active ads from Meta Ad Library (video + image) → Downloads every creative asset locally → Gemini watches each video and analyzes the hook, angle, visual format, copy framework, CTA, and emotional trigger → Runs the full batch and finds the patterns that repeat across 3+ ads → Claude generates 10 ad concepts using the proven mechanics, matched to your brand voice No manually scrolling the Ad Library. No screenshotting ads into docs. No guessing which hooks are actually working. What you get: → Individual creative breakdowns for every competitor ad (7 dimensions each) → A pattern report showing which hooks, formats, and triggers keep repeating → 10 ready-to-brief ad concepts traced back to real competitor data → A reusable system — new competitors, new brief, same pipeline The research that takes your team a full day now runs in 15 minutes for ~$3 in API costs. Built 100% in Claude Code with Apify + Gemini. I put together a full playbook showing you can build the entire thing step-by-step from scratch.

@fahdananta Taliesin West, what a magical place.

Working from Phoenix this week

Thinking about the time our high school English teacher gave us a poem to analyse When we finished she told us it was Donald Rumsfeld’s WMD press conference, and that was the class

@signulll This is Facebook changing their name to Meta for the metaverse; this isn't how any of this works or what makes these IRL interactions valuable.

what adam neumann is doing now is such an obviously good idea. most of american life unless scheduled is super isolationist so you rarely get those spontaneous interactions with ppl.. this sorta flips that around right at the point of where ppl spend majority of their lives. anyway, it’s super duper interesting to see the wework model applied to residential.

@notsunsakis @bcherny don't call it vibe coding - that's associated with yolo i smash head on keyboard, not thinking, engineering, building, testing, debugging, iterating. agentic engineering, or just...coding. We move faster, but it's still hard.

You see, assassin is a full time employee. Hitman is a contractor. Mercenary is a third party agency

At the episode in Mad Men where everyone is losing their shit thinking their jobs are going away because the agency bought a computer. Reminds me of something.

"Go all the way until it hurts. If you're doing something and it's easy, it's not valuable." - @travisk "If anyone says a strategic thing was easy, I'm like, 'You messed up. You could have gone way further. More competitive advantage. More differentiation. Get it together.'"
