Salesforce is bloated in-house doesn't scale there should be a third path

I've read MANY "spiritual" books over the years Everything from the POWER OF NOW to "Letting Go" There was one book though that led to a PERMANENT shift in identity And a 80% reduction in suffering/stress/thinking In that book was an INCREDIBLY SIMPLE practice that changed everything It's the 3rd year of University I was writing my Final year Thesis on how Meditation & Mindfulness improve academic attainment By reducing the symptoms of stress, anxiety & depression I'm doing 2-4 hours of meditation a day Getting into states of absorption/bliss on command And generally having an incredible time with my 7 mates who I lived with (My then GF now Wife was also back home so I had lots of space and time to do whatever I wanted) I am determined to "wake up" The idea of "Leigh" already feels like it's hanging on by a thread I'm living most of days in PRESENCE & relative inner peace But I want to go deeper I'm reading the book "I AM THAT" by the Indian Saint Nisargadatta Maharaj It's a brilliant book that boils down to one key "practice" "Hold on to the ‘I am’ to the exclusion of everything else" I had a surge of strong determination to simply hold onto this ONE thought until something shifted And so I did For the next 3-days the only thought I allowed myself to entertain was the "I AM" Then...as we came back from the gym... My room mate - Who was ironically an extreme skeptic/material reductionist type dude... Clicked - Out of scorn - On a video on my YouTube home page: "Angels singing 800% slower" was the title I believe... "Wtf is this shit" I remember him saying... And the moment that song came on... It acted as the catalyst to trigger 3-days and many 1000s of hours of effort I instantly started crying and the sheer volume of tears is like nothing I've ever experienced before or after Literal rivers flowing from both eyes And then BOOM - Sent into "oneness with the Universe" type awakening for 15+ mins I come back 15-mins later Open my eyes 3 friends on my bed - 2 of them with tears in their eyes "What the fuck just happened?" I can barely speak Trying to explain what went down seems pointless Eventually things "boot back online" But the world looks different Something has permanently changed There's a great sense of oneness, ease & relief But instead of feeling like some cosmic chakra lord And after a couple of wild weeks where things definitely felt very "physic" It all eventually boiled down... And I felt more human than ever Things had become very simple & very quiet internally I also realized there's a tremendous amount of "cleaning up" to do on the human level Some things that were quite obvious Mostly though really subtle little attachments Since then I've followed the flow of life I spent time coaching teens with Autism & ADHD to find the confidence to re-enter the mainstream classroom Spent 8 years in Japan living in Nagasaki & Osaka Built a powerful biz serving 85+ clients with a ton of INCREDIBLE results And have become a Husband & Father Something I NEVER thought I'd ever do Now all that's really left is silent PRESENCE And an unconditional wholeness, peace & joy Of course - I have VERY human moments too But it's all an opportunity for deeper & deeper letting go Needless to say The practice of holding onto "I AM" is powerful indeed! Forever grateful to a man who I've never met But consider my primary teacher

I support Ethan Agarwal against Ro Khanna Khanna has turned his back on the people of CA17. He said he would help tech, that his predecessor did nothing but name a post office. We would rather Khanna do that than work to destroy prosperity with national asset seizure.

1) You don’t actually “touch” anything. → What you feel as touch is electromagnetic repulsion between electrons, plus the Pauli exclusion principle preventing them from overlapping. It’s pushback, not atoms pressing together. 2) Solid objects are mostly empty space. → Atoms are like tiny solar systems: a minuscule nucleus with electrons around it. “Hardness” comes from forces and structure, not from being packed solid.

I see a lot of people posting about replacing their CRM with something they vibe coded. That’s cool. I love it. But what I haven’t seen yet is someone actually reimagining what a CRM should be in an AI world. Right now everyone is just rebuilding Salesforce with prettier buttons. I don’t want a better interface. I don’t want more dashboards. I don’t want another place to click around. I want a completely different way to interact with my business. I don’t want to: - search for a customer - open their record - pull up their estimate - copy/paste my line items - checkbox attachments - click send I want to pull out my phone and say: “Send John Smith an estimate for 3 acres at tier 2 brush density and tier 1 terrain.” And it just does it. Or: “Follow up on all pending estimates for the next 30 minutes. Give me a quick summary of each job and connect the call.” Or: “Which customers haven’t paid in 14 days? Text them a reminder and flag the ones that don’t respond.” Or: “Who are my top 10 repeat customers? Draft a thank-you email and a referral offer.” Or: “What jobs next week need equipment mobilized? Notify the operators and update the schedule.” That’s the CRM I want. I don’t want a Salesforce clone. I want someone to take this to the next level. There are some absolute killers out there right now building insane things. Someone is going to crack this. Build that please.

Newsom has announced a $348.9 billion budget. That's $147.5 billion larger than when he took office, a 73.2% increase. Spending has grown 2.5 faster than the rate of inflation. This isn't normal, even for blue states. The nonpartisan Legislative Analyst says the budget is "alarming" and raises "serious concerns about the state’s fiscal sustainability." Meanwhile, the state's infrastructure and schools remain subpar, cost of living is higher than anywhere, and we lead the nation in unemployment, homelessness, and poverty.
