@marclou Classic 80/20 rule

Your daily reminder that entrepreneurship is hard. n = 7,174 startups

@willreil So hyped

I’ve got 90 packages here, one of them probably has your name on it

Walking around the neighbourhood testing wifi range, let’s hope no one calls the cops. Needs to span around 200ft for use at a marina as a high-water alert system for boats

@SaidAitmbarek Yeah! It’s a high-water alarm for my friend’s boat. It’ll send him a text if his boat is taking on too much water

@robdotzip very nice :) any idea what you'd like to build or prototype with this hw?

enjoy weekends your way.. here's mine😇 reviving then turning this old pi-2 board it into my home's agent secretly dreaming of hardtech pivot (used to work in hw/iot, robotics) how're u enjoying yours?

@Kenmabraham Lookin good!

Seats in, big milestone. Next stop out the shed 🫡

@willreil Lets gooo

PROJECT CHEAP PCB IS LIVE! A 555 PCB and key-chain designed, assembled, and even cut out on a CNC by me with the goal of being as cheap as possible. You can order one now, shipped to your doorstep, for only $2.44 USD! ($4.14 worldwide) BUY NOW! reilindustrial.com

@GavMcCracken And a 1gbps internet connection to handle the 500mb of content

32Gb of RAM is not enough for a laptop in 2026, the era of vibe coding websites. You won't change my mind.

@fuzziphy @willreil @Makera_Inc Im going to pass this info along, thank you this is great news

This thing is heavy compared to other desktop CNCs. Weighs 110lbs, and is really rigid for it's size. It's no Haas, but I've had it for over 2 years and mostly do PCBs on it (super light duty), but have done some 6061 aluminum blocks, copper plate, brass, and delrin and it doesn't sweat.

I really really really need a @Makera_Inc CNC. This is like the perfect workflow, load the copper and it does the rest.

@willreil What’d you pay in tariffs on that bad boy? 😂

Awesome, so glad it arrived! Seems like that shipping was pretty fast

@Seanmclem @inkdrop_app He’s looking through the Zed you’re thinking of, it’s open source

🎬 New video: Explore Zed's source code to learn how to support multiple AI providers 💪

@Gr8DebtPrinter @GavMcCracken feel free to DM

@GavMcCracken @robdotzip can I explain it for you, in minecraft? I'm pretty sure I know the issue and if I say it can they really do anything about it?

Sucks that I'm about to close the ability to subscribe to Demystifying Life because Canada is not an environment that's conducive to making money or dreaming to become exceptional. I think I would've become #1 bestselling and beaten the AI guys.

@GavMcCracken Ah, I get it.

@robdotzip Running the substack opens me to extreme risks, won't say more outside of a paywalled article within the stack. Canada is the place you go to visit, not to live, and certainly not to build a business.

@willreil Thank you for yet again AliExpress mogging me

Saturday aliexpress delivery! I got the rest of the parts to make my ATTINY412 board on the CNC. These 16 pin USBC connectors will be a challenge.

To say the thing: Canada and the US can win together. Anti-US rhetoric in this country is doing untold damage. It doesn’t have to be this way. We can make different choices.

@sojoodi Kramer would have started vibe coding if it was filmed td

When everyone goes to bed, building begins!

@willreil @yacineMTB We have JCB PCB at home

who wants to go sand PCBs in the backyard??

@pushmatrix Hey man, i think your website is falling apart

This website is tearable.
