@billy_dyball Thanks Billy. That Waymo prototype was exhibited at Google X department in San Jose that I attended an event in 2018.

@luuv_us Awesome stuff, was that at Waymo or some other company, I remember the late 2010s hype for the self driving car Wish you luck on your goal, I saw pewdiepie recently put out a video trying to build his own self trained AI

@Bokinsha Good to hear from you, Arnav. My suggestion is to read a physical tech book that covers the fundamental principles of deep learning that helps you develop an intuition on how the machines process and learn about the input data. I highly recommend the book I am reading now.

@luuv_us Hey, i am also on the same journey, learning deep learning. Do you have any particular suggestions?

@TimmyWangler Thanks Tim. Will be following you for more insight.

@luuv_us Glad it landed. The shift from chasing any job to choosing the right ones is game-changing. Good luck with your next move.

Most contractors focus on getting more jobs. I focus on getting better jobs. There's a difference. Quality clients > volume every time.

@TimmyWangler Well, you are the first person on X that I stumbled upon that talk about construction trade/industry. Totally agree with your insight. I am coder with a junk removal/demolition side hustle and it teaches me many valuable business skills.

@luuv_us Appreciate you reading these. Construction is one of the best proving grounds for real business skills.

Running a construction company teaches you real business fast. No fluff, no theory — just results. You either solve the problem or you eat the cost. That clarity is worth more than any MBA.

@TimmyWangler Very nice. I noticed that most successful contractors are using BuilderTrend and ContractorForeman.

@luuv_us Yeah, BuilderTrend for scheduling and job tracking. Saves hours every week. Once you start managing multiple crews, software becomes mandatory.

Most contractors lose money because they don't know their numbers. I track everything: • Labor cost per square on roofing jobs • Material waste percentage per project • Average days to completion by job type • Profit margin by service line The jobs that FEEL profitable? Often aren't. The ones you assume are low-margin? Sometimes your best. Data > gut feeling. Every time. What's one metric you wish you tracked better in your business?

@TimmyWangler Your posts are very relatable to my experiences and I learned something from them too.

@luuv_us Thanks for engaging with these posts, Vinh. Means a lot.

Construction isn't just about building things. It's about building relationships, systems, and teams that can operate without you micromanaging every detail. That's how you scale from contractor to business owner.

@ismluxe Thanks for stopping by IsmLuxe. It's a fun loop. Hopefully it is not an infinite loop. Hope to hear more from you.

@luuv_us That sounds like an incredible loop! Balancing the hustle with the SoCal lifestyle – love to see it. Wishing you all the best on the journey to making HD Parking Lot the best! 🚀🍕🏄‍♂️
