Introducing Slash Accounting Automation:
The world’s fastest way to categorize expenses…
To prove it to you I risked my life and free fell from 12,000 feet.
Forever, finance teams have wasted 10+ hours/mo on manual expense work.
> Uploading receipts
> Assigning categories
> Matching transactions
> Exporting to your ERP
> Repeat 200x
We built the world’s best accounting automation to kill this completely.
1. Auto-categorization catches transactions as they hit your account
2. Purchases are instantly tagged with your ERP properties
3. Batch approvals process 1,000s of entries in seconds, not hours
Everything syncs directly to QuickBooks.
> No CSV exports
> No manual data entry
> No reconciliation headaches
Natalia processed an entire month of company expenses in under 60 seconds.
That workflow used to take finance teams hours they don’t have.

the biggest AI opportunity right now isn't building agents
it's understanding businesses well enough to build the RIGHT agent
marketing agents specifically
every business needs one... almost nobody is building them properly
what i see instead:
> generic "content teams" that pump out forgettable posts
> bullshit automations that feel like spam
> systems built around AI capabilities instead of business needs
flip that
start with the business problem, map the funnel, understand the audience... then build a system that fits like a glove
the AI part is honestly the easy part, understanding businesses is harder

Had to go see Project Hail Mary right away (it's based on the book of Andy Weir, of also The Martian fame). Both very pleased and relieved to say that 1) the movie sticks very close to the book in both content and tone and 2) is really well executed.
The book is one of my favorites when it comes to alien portrayals because a lot of thought was clearly given to the scientific details of an alternate biochemistry, evolutionary history, sensorium, psychology, language, tech tree, etc. It's different enough that it is highly creative and plausible, but also similar enough that you get a compelling story and one of the best bromances in fiction. Not to mention the other (single-cellular) aliens. I can count fictional portrayals of aliens of this depth on one hand. A lot of these aspects are briefly featured - if you read the book you'll spot them but if you haven't, the movie can't spend the time to do them justice.
I'll say that the movie inches a little too much into the superhero movie tropes with the pacing, the quips, the Bathos and such for my taste, and we get a little bit less the grand of Interstellar and a little bit less of the science of The Martian, but I think it's ok considering the tone of the original content. And it does really well where it counts - on Rocky and the bromance. Thank you to the film crew for the gem!

6 days ago I quit my marketing job to go all in for my startup as an 18/yo.
- No college
- No coding experience
- No connections
Just me, Jarvis (OpenClaw), and my MacBook.
Yet I’ve made thousands of dollars with my SaaS, grew my personal brand to 25k followers, and connected with top creators.
This is your sign to chase your dream!!

burnout hit a 6-year high in the US
at the same time, the global wellness industry is forecast to reach $9 trillion by 2028
health is the #1 industry in the US
it's bigger than the entire GDP of Germany 🤯
mental wellness is its fastest growing segment, sleep tech is on track to 5x in the next decade, mental health apps will nearly double by 2030
the math is almost too clean - more suffering, more market
a lot of people are getting very rich solving something that is getting worse every year
I don't know what to do with that - I just think it's worth sitting with

@VadimStrizheus atleast I don't have to see "great question" anymore

Everyone should read this story...
Imagine someone is struck by a poisoned arrow.
A doctor is called to remove the arrow, but the man stops him.
"Not so fast! Before you remove it, I want to know who shot me. What town or village does he come from? What kind of wood was his bow made from? Was it a crossbow or a longbow?"
While he asks the questions, the poison takes hold and he dies.
Like the man in the story, we occasionally get shot with the poisoned arrows of life.
But ruminating too much on the nature of those arrows is unlikely to help.
This is a trap we all fall into:
We think we need more information to solve our problems, when all we really need is more action.
The trap is becoming more challenging to avoid in a modern era where information is abundant.
We've become conditioned to get our dopamine from information gathering.
But you see, dopamine from information gathering is a dangerous drug. It convinces you that information alone is enough. That it's sufficient. That it's all you need.
But information alone is never enough. Information is nothing without action.
The information meant to push you forward can quickly start to hold you back.
Struck with the poison arrow, you feel a surge of satisfaction from learning that your attacker was from a nearby village, that his bow was made from oak, and that it was a longbow.
And then, you're dead, because the information you wanted had become a distraction from the action you needed.
This is what I call the Poison Arrow Principle:
Never allow information-gathering to get in the way of action-taking.
The next time you're in an overthinking loop, ask yourself:
Do I really need more information, or do I simply need to act on the information I already have?
