This is Eliot. Eliot is my favorite plant. A gift from @tracksmith after eight years on the board. Elliot is also the name of Tracksmith's hare logo and its footwear line. It’s a tribute to Boston's legendary Eliot Lounge, and it also happens to be the name of the great human (@elliotconway ) who reconnected me with the brand as an investor in 2017. Bittersweet to step away. But psyched to free up a board seat for former Converse CEO Jared Carver to lead the company to the next level. I’ll be cheering from the stands. Thanks Matt Taylor and team for all your hard work and for having me along for a small part of the run. So impressed with the brand you’ve built and excited for the road ahead.

This is great. I often find myself getting sloppy and not thinking fully through a feature because I know I can fix it later - or I just want to get a prototype out quickly and iterate to the right solution. Compare that to a 1-2 week sprint with careful upfront planning - problem definition, user stories, goals, acceptance criteria then testing, QA... Even if you've given your AI coder a detailed PRD upfront, that context degrades over time, and scope changes. The main benefit of gstack is that I find myself spending much more time in the planning stage for each feature - understanding trade-offs, thinking through what great UX feels like and what elegant code looks like, and the result is a much better product.

I've been having such an amazing time with Claude Code I wanted you to be able to have my *exact* skill setup: Introducing gstack, which you can install just by pasting a short piece of text into your Claude code

You know it was a good weekend when your daughter gives you a hug on your way out the door Monday morning and says she's going to miss you.

Today the markets think SaaS is so over. And they're so right. We're prepping for some investor meetings so I built DocSend in 10 minutes on my @zocomputer. - Serves any file in my Zo. - Sends a confirmation link to verify the email. - Sends a followup email with link to download the file. - Styled just the way I like. - Infinitely extensible. I'm never going back to DocSend. SaaS is dead. Long live intelligent compute.

It looks like @meetgranola heard me. Context is king - I want to query all my data sources on a topic at the same time. Smart move by the company. For Red Swan though we're already using my homegrown version. granola.ai/blog/granola-m…

I'd been paying $18 a month for one of the popular meeting notes apps for the last couple years. But the app was basically a wild garden where I couldn't query transcripts in the same context as my Gmail and Google Drive folders. I'd have to ask the same question multiple times - first to my meeting notes and then to @zocomputer (which aggregates my gmail, google drive and other sources). So I finally spent a weekend (okay, and a good chunk of Monday) with @claudeai vibecoding my own. I now have an application that plays nicely with others and am saving $18 a month. I'm afraid for prosumer apps.

Seems like the average user should be using @zocomputer instead of Clawdbot. Easy to use hosted version vs tough to set up and secure local version.

@useintro @artsy We also adapted to our European customers ways of doing business - e.g. accepting Paypal as a payment method which many European small businesses were using at the time to settle invoices.

@useintro When @artsy expanded into Europe we hired local sales and account staff who brought their local networks but more importantly a deeper understanding of culture in the various regions to connect on a stronger level with the businesses we were selling to.
