I'm hiring a former founder for a very important role here at RMFG Head of Factory Software. In person at our factory in Fort Worth, TX. This is an individual contributor role and you will be spending the vast majority of your time building software, not managing others. What are we doing? We're building the fastest contract manufacturer for robotics and advanced hardware companies. We're getting there by launching multiple online-first manufacturing capabilities and letting customers combine those into much more valuable assemblies, eventually full robots. We have a crazy roadmap and we've accomplished a ton with an insanely small non-production team (Me, one mech engineer, one former hardware founder leading growth, and one customer support person). It's very important to me that we keep this lean / scrappy DNA as we scale. Some reasons why you would want to work with us - We're growing incredibly fast. Revenue up ~10x since start of year. All important charts going up and to the right at a compounding m/m rate - We're growing (physically) incredibly fast. More than doubled factory floor space from 17k to 40k sq ft. This time last year we were in 4.5k sq ft. - We have cool customers. People putting stuff into outer space, nuclear technology, countless robot companies, guys making great money selling weird niche components that we make, public companies, and everything in between. - Your work will be immediately impactful and important. There will be days where you will push code changes that you physically can see the effects propagated to the floor quickly. Some days I know that I just made a multi-million dollar commit, seeing how much money it saves us on a process, or what rework it prevents, etc. - Your work will help make the American dream possible for hundreds of factory workers here at RMFG. Today we have ~20 production staff, and multiple are starting families and buying homes because of the work we provide. - Meaningful amounts of equity - We are a venture-backed hardware startup that is making more money than it burns (highly unusual) - A ton of incredibly smart people have backed us. (YC, Patrick Collison, Kyle Vogt, etc). - You will work on hard real world engineering challenges What I'm looking for - evidence of extraordinary software ability - someone who has touched grass - relentless, killer, ambitious founder mindset send me an email w/ evidence of your skills kenneth at domain name

Fun facts about Lorne Doerkson: He was born and raised in the Lower Mainland (New West and Surrey). After moving to Williams Lake he was a competitive rodeo participant for over five years. He is one of the most liked and respected MLAs on both sides of the House and has served as Caucus Chair and Deputy Speaker. He has been a publisher, business person and financial analysis and advisor. A straight shooter who uses a sense of humour and demonstrated competency to bring people together. The more people get to know him the more they will like him. He won his riding last election with 70% of the vote.

This cynical election is not what British Columbians asked for, but it offers our province the hope for real change. That is why our team has come together, strong and unified, to bring overdue change and build British Columbia back up into the province that you deserve. Lorne Doerkson and Peter Milobar have come together to give British Columbians a viable governing alternative to the NDP chaos. It is long past time for change. Eby and the NDP have raised taxes, made you poorer, done nothing to fix the real problems of crime, drugs, and disorder in our streets, and the cost of living crisis. They blew through the Horgan surplus and are now running a deficit so large that even the accounting errors are counted in the billions of dollars. Four more years of David Eby's weak, divisive, and unpopular government would be a disaster. At a time when BC and Canada are facing a war to weaken and break us from Donald Trump, we need a government that is strong, unified, and willing to fight for our province. Under the BC NDP government, our trade reliance on the USA has increased. Their failure to grow and diversify trade has left us more vulnerable to the current trade war. We are a party of progressive ideas and conservative values. We believe you can grow the economy and protect the environment. We believe you can be compassionate and still demand results. We believe in safe streets, treatment that works, schools that teach what students need to learn, and a government that spends your money like it's your money - because it is. We believe in opportunity and prosperity for ALL British Columbians. BC deserves better than David Eby's cynical politics and damaging government. You deserve lower taxes, a strong economy, safe streets, secure land, and a government that is proud of our province and its rich history. That is what our team stands for. We invite you to stand with us. To stand strong for BC. David Eby has handed BC a chance for change - let's take it!

the largest risk in marketing is that no one knows or gives a fuck about you that's the default state until you get to like 100M+ a year or multiple million organic views on socials repeatibly until you pass that bar your main challenge is irrelevance don't focus too much on "what could go wrong". no one gives a fuck anyways. this is prime time to be bold. try out new angles, new positioning, new visual styles/ aesthetics etc

i need everyone to see this... they launched 1,000,000+ businesses this year. not vibe-coded ghost sites with $0 mrr, real businesses built for real revenue. and the team behind Durable just repositioned the whole product. they don't just build and launch your website anymore, now they help you find customers and keep them. there's never been a better time to turn a skill into a business: - love cars? start a detailing company - green thumb? start a landscaping company - great with animals? start a dog walking company - into yoga? start a meditation retreat and your site shows up as the first suggestion on google. all you need you can find below.

the best thing my parents ever did for me was nurture my sense of curiosity and encourage me whenever I wanted to try something new as I grow older I can't think of a single thing more valuable they could have given me
parents the world over today are forcing their children into misguided rat races for some status ladder that almost certainly won’t exist by the time they come out the other side. the world is changing rapidly. let them put down their grinding and keep their wits about them

Spellbook is arguably the most widely adopted legal AI tool. Nearly half of all law firms surveyed by ILTA have partially adopted Spellbook. This doesn't count our in-house legal users. We have more customers than Harvey and Legora combined, and we were profitable last month.
ILTA survey on AI adoption at firms that attended ILTA (big law skewed of course due to who attends ILTA) 💪 Westlaw Advantage and CoCounsel 💪 lawnext.com/2026/09/which-ai… @scottastevenson when looking at partial rollouts Spellbook is leading the pack for non firm wide rollouts seems, grats
