Every saas CEO I've talked to about pricing and packaging changes has struggles with it in their company.
Who has figured out how to do lots of pricing and packaging testing without it taking a long time and the stakes and pressure becoming huge? How?
Is he imagining teams are 10 people rather than 2?
Larger teams working on a project absolutely benefit from in person time: “we won’t leave until the decision is made.”
Smaller teams of 2 or 3 less so though in person time is valuable. Deep work + exchange of ideas is still effective on a remote team. The nature of work is absolutely changing.
David Vélez on why AI makes remote work less valuable:
"AI also in a perhaps counterintuitive way, increases the argument to spend time in person more.
Because increasingly the work that AI can do is more or less the work that people at home individually could do.
And so the individual at home will be competing with AIs, and we'll lose that battle.
But the work around collaboration and coordination in presence physically is something that needs to be happening inside the office."
I’m watching the first episode of East of Eden on Netflix.
Man it does this book justice.
Still early but I’m excited for the rest.
You can glimpse the future and it’s not quite ready. I worked with my dot “Sammy” to organize all my inputs to my taxes.
It looked at last years taxes, my email, and what was already collected to come up with the list of stuff to gather.
It was helpful to give me all the login links in one spot and annoying I had to log in.
It was helpful to organize all the files my accountant didn’t yet have and annoying it wouldn’t upload them for me because “safety”.
Tasks that dot or bot or muse should do in adverts instead of booking flights:
- draft my taxes
- aggregate family calendars from other apps so kids get to practice/etc on time
- remind me about important birthdays + suggest the right gift
- monitor local music venues for shows I might enjoy and proactively bring them up to me + book tickets if it’s a yes
- give me a recap monthly on my spending and suggest ways to optimize it
- keep an eye on cool events happening in my local area and bring them up to me in advance
- help me maintain great personal and professional relationships with suggested outreach to ppl at the right times
- Never let me miss an important newsletter or essay that I wish I would have read
- highlight subscriptions Im paying for a not using + cancel them when given the green light
So many options, let's skip the travel one
Funny how important friction is in an app and what the user did next won’t show up in your data.
Logged in to @uber on a new phone and it hung on “downloading stuff”. I forced quit and used @lyft for the first time since 2023. I quit Lyft when I was in a rush and they asked me to verify my drivers license!
Ok agents...while I'm at work, let's format a mac mini for the 7 year old, and install Windows and Minecraft bedrock on a mini pc so she can stream it via sunrise / moonlight.
Go.
I thought you said Opus 5.5 changed everything. At least Grok 4.7 will help me upgrade packages in my homelab.
What personal agent can test all the personal agents for me to tell me which personal agent I should use?
Going to try out my @Zoom client for Omarchy in real meetings on monday morning. These AIs are not great company, but they help make a screenshot.
8x less memory and faster from a cold start.
The main bottleneck now is Zoom's SDK which I'm not able to optimize and I hope they decide to!
What I wanted was: fast joining, high quality, speaker transcription and diarization.
My bot made a list of current hardware used and tried on Omarchy:
alphacolin.com/omarchy/
Hope it helps someone avoid a couple days of weirdness. The most frustrating hardware issue was the @CalDigit TS5 plus I got for my m5 mb pro.
I swapped it for a TS4. The XPS 14 is only thunderbolt 4 anyway. There's a built in controller on the TS5 that causes all sorts of instability.
