Most business owners think risk lives outside the company. The reality is, it often sits with them. When everything runs through one person, growth stalls and value drops. Are you building a business, or are you the business? Read more: cervit.com/blog/are-you-y…

Starlink is one of those products that just makes sense. - No power outlet needed Power over Ethernet - Heated surface for snow - Small, clean form factor - Clean, intuitive app UI ~200 Mbps down / 100 Mbps up What matters is the integration. Hardware, network, and user experience all aligned. The kind of product thinking Steve Jobs instilled at Apple In practice, that’s where most products fall apart. This one doesn’t. #starlink

Excellent article. Inspiring to see the tech created within Bell Labs - helps to have government support, unlimited cash, and a monopoly BUT other countries had similar support w/out the results. “What the Legendary Bell Labs Can Teach Us About Innovation wsj.com/tech/bell-labs…

Never gets old. Classic!

“It has never been easier to code.” This is true. It’s also misleading. I wanted to see it for myself, so I spent the past week building a tool with Claude Code. It is easier to write code, 100%. It is still hard and time consuming to connect the tools, services, and code into something that actually works. I started with a simple idea: a business valuation MVP. That turned into an AI agent with a chat interface. What I re-learned: -The code isn’t the hard part -The decisions are -Tool selection matters more than you think -You’re locking in choices early, and switching later is painful One of many mistakes I made: I didn’t set up structure early, environment, naming, organization. It cost me time, overwritten code, and working in the wrong places. This is often overlooked: You are not just building a product, you are building a system that needs to connect to or integrate with other services. So you have to think about: -Environment (local, dev, prod) -Structure, what determines whether it works once or keeps working -Mobile and desktop -Services and integrations For version one, I used: #Render, #GoDaddy, #Stitch, #Brevo, #Claude (Code + API), #MicrosoftClarity, #GoogleAnalytics, #Balsamiq, #NanoBanana, and a few others. This stack will evolve as I add a database, dashboards, and authentication. The reality is this: AI removes the barrier to coding. It doesn’t remove the need to think through systems, tools, and decisions. If you’re building, exploring, or thinking about using agents in your business, happy to connect.

@levie This is true - there is opportunity to mine the gap between the technology and the business. Agents without structure and process are limited in value - with the proper focus, the opportunity and output is limitless.

We dramatically underestimate how much change management it is going to take to automate most knowledge worker tasks. Between data being in legacy environments or systems or without good APIs, context missing for doing the task, teams that are less technical, and other factors, there’s still a lot of work to drive real AI transformation in an enterprise. This is actually great news if you’re building right now because the opportunity is to build the software bridges to make this easier, or to build new services firms to help with this change management. Opportunity is all around for those looking.

Silicon Valley thinks AI agents are a $20/mo self-serve subscription. Main Street is paying local agencies $10,000 just to turn them on. Everyone assumes AI will be bought primarily online like Slack or Zoom. I think they are wrong. Some of the biggest winners in the AI boom won't be the software vendors. It will be the humans installing it. Here is the reality of SMBs right now: • 54% lack internal AI expertise. • 41% have data quality too poor for AI to even work. • 41% already prefer buying AI through a local IT provider. You cannot "1-click install" a genius AI into a messy CRM or a 15-year-old server. It will just execute the wrong tasks at the speed of light. The AI software will be cheap and a lot will absolutely be bought online. Making it actually work for a messy, real-world business will be expensive. Very bullish on the "Do It For Me" economy being back.

Women are going to protect the country from Donald Trump, whether he likes it or not.

BREAKING: Will.i.am just dropped a new track titled "Yes She Can"—and yes, “She” is Kamala Harris. This is the anthem America needs to hear right now.

The video we have all been waiting for. Kamala Harris on SNL tonight! Share to piss off Donald Trump. 🤣

Man of the people.

@StayWonked @DavidSacks the price for a cabinet position requires more than gen ai generated Twitter posts. Time to put some $$$ into the game.

Trump wants to create a fascist oligarchy

Eric Trump on Fox Business claims that Trump drew 35,000 people for his speech Wednesday in Georgia. The arena he spoke at has a capacity of 13,000 so, no.
