@einarvollset Vacation in France and Poland literally fixed my knee pain from all the walking. Also developed a 4 espresso before 10am habit while in Paris though, so it's a give and take.

@einarvollset Truck guy. A cybertruck sounded amazing for Alberta's climate. A windshield that doesn't need yearly replacing due to rock chips. Paint that won't be slowly ablated in winter. Don't need to worry about hail. Sadly being baseball proof instead isn't enough. V1 is a miss

@Harris_Bryan If web browsing isn't working you can do this in Google Sheets with the GPT plugins installed. Make a sheet with your 1000 urls. First empty column add a formula to fetch the data from the url (I forget the formula but ask GPT :p). Next column call GPT to categorize it.

ChatGPT question… How do I give it a list of 1000 urls and have to read the site and categorize them in 1 of 20 industries?

@GutsyGeek We always portion out our dog's food for the day into a ziplock bag. And then feed out of that bag. Once it's gone, it's gone :) He's still cute, but scams zero meals.

Whenever my dog asks for food in the morning, I check with my wife and kids first to ensure she hasn’t already been fed. The number of double-meals she’s scammed with this cute face is astronomical

@Swizec 100% it's a really frustrating transition from the days of tech like C and Win32 API where backwards compatibility was measured in decades to never-ending backwards-incompatible changes that can't be automatically upgraded around.

"I want to build things for people. Not constantly update my tools because other developers are bored" chef's kiss, best quote I've seen all year

@mijustin So far we've only been asked to NOT switch it. I say give it a year or two to see if: 1) it's still called X and not Twitter or Y or whatever 2) people actually call it X 3) people still use it 4) what the logo actually is at that point Then and only then change the icon.

@connor_beem @andrewchen Better than "As a large language model I have been trained to not allow profanity so here's a 500 word essay on ducks" 😇

@andrewchen Maybe we can stop saying “ducking” soon

So excited for LLMs to hit auto correct

@seanogle Honestly? Spend 2 days in a cabin without internet so I'm not tempted to do something that trades long-term profits for hitting an arbitrary revenue goal, like running a big sale.

You're $2,000 away from your highest revenue month ever. You've got a course and a niche site — and 2 days to do it. What's your offer (or offers)?

@Harris_Bryan 100% so easy to ignore, so important. For the last 5 years we've done a monthly personal finance meeting (which we never ever miss) and use YNAB to manage our budget and both of these things have been finance and relationship game changers.

Two years ago I realized we had gotten sloppy with personal finance hygiene. So we made a simple system that cleaned It up. Takes < 15min a week to do: 1. Daily categorize transactions Into a budget 2. Weekly video to wife with update We simplified our focus down to four green lights: Light #1: Live off last month money Light #2: 6 months expenses In bank Light #3: Give 10%+ Light #4: Save 10%+ Weekly report updates those 4 Items and our "Plinko Board" which Is order of what to do with distributions focused on Increased giving or savings. Super simple. Super easy. If you're like me and aren't In anyway drawn to spreadsheets, tracking money etc, this works well. Just enough to keep Intentional and wise with the personal finances - but not to become some hardcore weirdo.

@CasJam It took me longer than I care to admit to adapt from SVN to Git naming of things. Wild terminology.

For a while, the idea and use-case for a "pull request" confused me. I think because of the name "pull request"... To me, it's more like a "merge request" (I request to merge this code into the main branch) or "review request" (I request a review of my code). Naming matters.

@kurtinc Charge $20 because no one cares about a $1 but I think you got the right idea. More importantly, why are people booking office hours, and what makes them feel they are not ready? I bet there are layers here. Confidence. Cold feet. Lack of clarity for the call. Lots of stuff.

I offer a couple of office hours calls per week, they're free and open to anyone who wants to chat with me. I enjoy them. It feels like about half the calls cancel hours before because they're "not ready." Do I give up on office hours because people are flakey? Or do I charge a $1 to make sure they're serious? I think I'm going with the $1 charge.

@punchlinecopy Yea stuff like this is what I hear everytime the airbnb commercial for hosts plays. NOPE not worth it.

@einarvollset @paulg Also important to consider scale/reproductive ability when assessing threat. Computer programs can reproduce infinitely virtually overnight. Humans have no such ability currently.

@einarvollset @paulg "Why would we not equally worry about [...] human brains" We absolutely should and we are. It's called genetically modified humans. It's just slightly further out on the horizon and much more regulated, but boy oh boy it's coming.

Few things are harder to predict than the ways in which someone much smarter than you might outsmart you. That's the reason I worry about AI. Not just the problem itself, but the meta-problem that the ways the problem might play out are inherently hard to predict.

@robwalling 's new book is ready to be backed. Excited for my copy. kickstarter.com/projects/robwa…

@andrewculver That's a brilliant use of ai. We are finding similar stuff... using ai for various classification/labeling problems is very effective and practical today

The first AI-powered feature coming to Bullet Train is a boring one: When a user uploads a CSV file, we'll ask OpenAI to suggest which column headings should map to which model attributes and auto-populate the typical column mapping UI with those suggestions. 🤖 🦾

Wim is one of my favourite Founders. When we started working together 2 years ago, he was at $10k MRR. He was pulling his hair out. His market was growing, but his company wasn't. And with every new book he crammed into his already crowded bookshelf, he'd see one more thing he should be doing, but wasn't. The biggest false belief he had was that he could "learn" himself to $200k MRR. Please don't misunderstand. Books changed my life. Heck, I just wrote a book. But for Wim, more "learnin" wasn't going to help him hit his goal of 10x revenue. If you're training for a triathlon, the treadmill is a great place to start, but it can only get you so far. At some point, you gotta pull the plug and get out into the sun. For Wim, that meant working on his mindset. He had some limiting beliefs like concrete walls, keeping him stuck in one place. I won't go into detail on how to find and get rid of those beliefs, maybe I'll save that for my next visit... But now he's at $55k MRR, and he works about 10 hours a week in his SaaS. The rest of the time he spends training for triathlons and playing with his kids. He's still putting in the work, but he spends his time on the parts of the business he loves. If you've got a full bookcase but an empty piggy bank, mindset is where I would start. We use the 3 M's of belief and the 5 Success traits to break down limiting beliefs and get rid of some of the "baggage" weighing founders down. Once they're free of all that, it's amazing how high they can soar. The first step, though, is to get some clarity. Reply "SOAR" below and I'll DM you with an action plan if it's a fit. (free) Once Founders can see the next right thing to do (and it's different for everyone), they start trusting themselves again and get closer to what we call at SaaS Academy: Escape Velocity.

@mijustin AI *can* change the way the work is done though! Even now I bet GPT can help you troubleshoot the problem. Fast forward and the human is wearing AR googles and basically doing whatever the AI says to do. Basically we are a squishy body for the AI brain to control.

@punchlinecopy If it was important they would have sent it digitally. That's our policy!

@CasJam @mijustin Worms was the best! I used to run a giant fan site about it back in high school was the first way I made money online. Worms forever.

@mijustin Lemmings! Bubble Bobble! One more: Worms! Been reliving my childhood by playing those with my kids lately.
