step 4 of an interview process tomorrow 🙏

I'm thinking of building something special for designers, builders, and creative entrepreneurs. 100 people. Curated experience. Hands-on creation. One confirmed speaker you already know and love. More coming soon. Are you interested? Waitlist is open → see comments👇

@soleio @zebriez you’ve been luckmaxxing this whole time! 🫨

@zebriez A side project for a friend landed me in Palo Alto qr.ae/pFX7Lk

who got their big break at work from doing a side project vs being great at their core role? stories please!

@soleio @firstofkind @typochondriac this photo is incredible 🔥

@derkolstad @Zippo

@NotoriousUSB @Zippo Absolutely art 🖼️ You should sell limited edition Zippo USB drives for the next TDF. Imagine the smooth spring loaded sound before connecting to a Mac 👌🏼 And will I have a reasonable licensing fee for this sweet sweet intellectual honey??? haha 🤣

found a local shop in fukuoka with some crazy japanese @zippo lighters

@kylezantos @Zippo the lure is real

@NotoriousUSB @Zippo Gorgeous. Haven’t smoked in years but now I want one

@hegyessy @Zippo oh man, you’ll find so many along the streets here. so many of these kinds of little shops! have a pic of a shop full of artisinally crafted whiskey bottles

@NotoriousUSB @Zippo That’s awesome. Similar spots in the area or just out of the blue? Visiting Fukuoka in late April/early May and hoping to hit areas that don’t usually show up on lists.

@joshpuckett @Zippo the whole cigarette smoking culture here seems so cool still. suave.

@NotoriousUSB @Zippo i suddenly, desperately, need to rip a couple darts

@CahlDee @brdrck not really lol

@brdrck @NotoriousUSB 128GB of RAM is absurd lol

remember when $3K used to get you a fully spec'd out macbook pro with a matte, anti-glare retina screen?

@whale @brian_lovin yes, super great guy with a super great name 😎

What a nice chat with @brian_lovin just now. He's real ya know. Not just made of internet.

@Riyvir For me, it’s codex’s ability to hold onto a thread and understand the “big picture“ more effectively than the other models. But my experimentation has been more around building systems and infrastructure then front end polish. So far.

dude i know, and i feel crazy for it too. i spend most of my time on ui polish right now and i've built a good rapport with claude for that. i just started using perplexity computer to throw an idea at and let it build a prototype while i get other work done. i keep hearing about how great codex is but i just keep hitting weird walls with it. i'm going to give it another shot when i get back to more complex stuff. got any tips?

codex limits driving me crazy. do i get my second $200/mo subscription? who's got more than one $200/mo ai-subscription they're personally paying for? am i crazy to consider it?

@Riyvir curious to hear your thoughts on perplexity max too (used to have it a while back, but this was long before Computer released, etc)

@Riyvir interesting, so out of the three $200 subscriptions you have… …you feel codex is the least valuable to you?

@robhope @forum_tokyo same! all these little gems we've got tucked away in the archives—working on some more storytelling stuff now! only did good bc i had great people surrounding me—thanks for everything man! <3

@forum_tokyo @NotoriousUSB Stoked we were recording that convo! You did great 🙏

@NotoriousUSB sharing about being the perfect MC. Then realizing the job was never about that. It's about bringing people into the same room and bridging worlds.

@gabrielvaldivia jeeeeeeeeze 😵‍💫
