Nobody teaches leaders how to make technology decisions. They just expect you to figure it out. 15 years. 200+ organizations. I've built the framework they never gave you. 🧵

Who actually owns the tech decision at your company? The person who has to live with it every day, or the one who signs the check? Asking because the answer tells you a lot about why things break.

Showing someone they have a problem doesn't make them want to call you. Showing them what their business looks like without the problem does.

Your prospects already know they have a problem. That's why they took the meeting. Stop selling the pain. Show them where they're going.

@collin_ruth89 @preston_holland Ya, I am saying that an automation tax has been proposed by prominent people since 2017. I think if AI starts slowing jobs, a tax will be passed to capture that revenue. It was part of the UBI discussion. Companies that are AI heavy will see higher taxes.

@jaredpeno @preston_holland I don't think I'm following. Basically saying that one-person companies or any company using AI will have an extra tax?

Every time I do taxes I become a little bit more angry at fraud and am tempted to start dumping tea in the water. Self employment tax is my favorite one to pay…

@collin_ruth89 @preston_holland This is why I think an AI or Automation tax is coming. AI only companies are going to be rug pulled by taxes.

@preston_holland My favorite is payroll tax. Yea, let’s punish business owners for providing jobs.

@rUv That's terrifying.

This is nuts. If these numbers hold, we’re looking at a completely different model of intelligence with the Cognitum.One agentic chip. 6×6 mm. ~2 billion transistors. Under 2 watts. 257 cores spiking to 8ghz. That’s impressive on paper. But what matters is intelligence per watt. This isn’t about FLOPs. It’s about decisions per joule. Continuous, event driven, always on. Like a brain. Mostly idle, spiking when something matters, updating state in real time instead of batching work. Now take that and apply it to agents. Instead of running RuFlo, OpenClaw, Codex or Claude Code on a Mac mini or in the cloud, imagine running it at wire speed directly on the silicon. No latency. No API calls. No incremental cost. Just a local agent, always running, always thinking, always building. That changes everything. You can have persistent coding agents embedded in devices. Systems that monitor, write, test, and adapt code continuously. A factory line that rewrites its own control logic. A network that debugs itself. A personal environment that evolves with you in real time. Pair it with RuVector and dynamic mincut, and now it has memory and coherence. It doesn’t just generate. It understands structure and maintains stability. We’re not scaling models anymore. We’re embedding intelligence into the fabric of the world.

@tannerdripjobs I agree but also... the cool thing about the right AI setup is how it gives you extra dimensions of control and analysis. I'm not going to give up some of my automation tools, but I am going to enhance them with AI.

There’s a lot of things people think you need AI for, but you really don’t lol. Like lead follow up - DripJobs does this perfectly fine without AI. That problem has been long solved.

@KurtisCarman Ya, that's what guys like me are worried about. 😅 New threats everywhere!

I remember this one time I figured out how to do a real bit of plumbing in my house by using a sharkbite fitting. I was so proud of it and bragged that I was practically a certified plumber and could start a plumbing business now if I wanted (all true btw). Anyways, this open claw project reminds of that. I'm a certified hacker now and can start my own hacking business if I wanted to (not even a little bit true actually).

@MichaelDell I want one! Dell's leading again, bravo. 👏

Jensen Huang is loving the new Dell Pro Max with GB300 at NVIDIA GTC.💙 They asked me to sign it, but I already did 😉

If Steve Jobs can get away with saying he built the iPhone, I can tell people I built the app.

This is probably going to be the most fruit bearing year of my life. I cannot express to you how fast I’m moving now that I’ve trained my AI.

@shl pms who can build what they spec instead of arguing about it in jira for three sprints. massive upgrade

Vibe coders are product managers who code

@thejustinwelsh freedom at 250k beats misery at 2M. most people figure that out way too late

The most successful solopreneurs aren't scaling to $10M. They're simply making more than they did at their job, minus the boss, meetings, and headaches.

@ALEngineered nobody talks about this because shipping fast gets you promoted. fixing tech debt is an unapproved budget item

It’s weird how much tech culture celebrates shipping software but is so quiet about unfinished work and tech debt. Shipping fast gets applause, but the other stuff gets swept under the rug.

@BleepinComputer this is the one that keeps me up at night. most small businesses running cisco gear have no idea this is happening right now. zero-day means zero time to prepare.
