Watching today’s @Tesla roadster launch and wishing @JoshuaBaer was here to see it.
OH in Austin coffee shop: “burning man is for 40 year-old tech dudes and women they pay to be there”
Wow, sick burn
Feature request for @claude: account switching across different emails.
Enterprise on my work address, Pro on my personal one. Today that's a full sign-out/sign-in every time — the native switcher only works if both accounts sit on the same email.
Chrome profiles, but for Claude.

Most founders demand loyalty, but you can't ask for a commitment you can't return (nobody can promise a job for life.)
My advice is always to offer a tour of duty instead: a defined mission, 2–4 years, with clear outcomes for the company and the person's career.
We had great success with our MacBook Upgrade Program @getupgraded_com
From what I can tell, this is going to be an even better deal—that only Apple themselves can negotiate—for consumers interested in leasing/subscription.
👏 well done, Apple, @Klarna
BREAKING: Apple will launch Apple Upgrade next week, an iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch leasing/subscription program. It’s partnering with Klarna to launch in the U.S. at online and retail stores. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Running a fundraising process can be a massive amount of manual work:
- building a target list (which btw should be 100-300 funds/investors, depending on round type),
- scouring your network for warm-intro connectors,
- sending your blurb individually hundreds of times to connectors,
- processing feedback from each meeting,
- etc...
And, founders typically suck at it because we only do it every couple years.
I've seen Metal in the past and it was very cool. Excited for this update and vision.
💥 New Product Launch 💥
After two years of development, @metalraise is launching Autopilot -- our automation platform that draws on proprietary intelligence to run the round process for founders.
Our thesis is simple -- in the future, founders that are best positioned to raise will not run the round process themselves. Instead, they will use the right tools to automate in ways that create unique advantages.
From research, round collateral and pipeline formation to building calendar density, Metal Autopilot brings precision via proprietary intelligence and speed via AI-driven automation.

Stating the obvious, but email is a mess (again)...
Yes, the fraudsters and blatant scammers are out, but now B2B SaaS and content marketing companies are in.
I blame @InstantlyAI
Set goal, loop. As you move towards your goal, occasionally forget everything you know.
Works for AI. Works for humans.

This is so cool.
We're launching Bridge today 🌉
An AI engine that builds virtual homes. Blueprint in, walkable home out. Every plan, every option, structural changes included.
What took 3D artists months now takes days. Homebuilders can finally show buyers every home they sell.

Regarding Siri updates/WWDC— I just want them to make voice to text as good as @WisprFlow / buy Wispr

Welp, that happened faster than I predicted. Thought it would be end of 2027, then early 2027, but agentic traffic growing so fast that bots have now passed human traffic online for the first time in the Internet's history. radar.cloudflare.com/traffic…
