Before & After - 65,000 ft2 Industrial - 2 Docks - 1 Acre Outdoor Yard Just signed a 10 year NNN lease with a national tenant that does $20b in sales. Building was nasty when we bought it. #retwit

just because anyone can now build something, doesn’t mean it’s free/easy to use it. this is what I see coming too. the correct agent to work inside of a tool is valuable.
saas is becoming free give away the crm give away the dashboard give away the app and charge for the agent that does the work

The Brazilian asset manager is a problem for obvious reasons. The property manager looks and feels like he raids coastal villages for a living. I'm the guy who signs the checks and taps the most. Companies spend big on team building (or don’t and their teams suffer). We just roll twice a week before work. Turns out it's hard to have a passive aggressive slack thread with someone who just physically folded you/vice versa. Highly recommend.

Weird. I asked ai to clean up the color balance on the photo and now it’s marked as “made with ai”. That’s kind of dumb. It’s a real photo.

This boy was going for a chilly fall morning swim. I got to see him and a bald eagle this morning in my backyard. It’s going to be a good day.

I’ve got to say after spending the last 10 days in California, crime here in Michigan just seems funny and safe.

All this stuff scared me a year ago. So I stayed up for three weeks learning it. Felt like a crazy person. I'm the type who can't stand being afraid of something I don't understand. When openclaw (and all the other tools) came out I went all in… - youtube until 4am every night 
- learned basic coding
- figured out how it actually works I had never opened a terminal window in my life. Goal was simple - automate my work, get my time back. The opposite happened. I work harder than ever. I just understand what I'm doing now. The real thing I got out of it had nothing to do with ai. For 20 years I ran my companies on intuition. Computers don't have intuition. You have to spell out inputs, process, and exactly what you want back Turns out that's how I should have been running everything the whole time. So I rebuilt it all from scratch (still in process). It’s been chaotic. Here's the thing... Almost everything I learned a year ago is already obsolete. Coding is worth nothing now to the average pleb like me. The thinking is Lindy. I now have hundreds of agentic processes running on every tool available. None of them are the point.

I just spoke a physical steel part into existence. currently building an overland rig and customizing a truck camper to fit on the flatbed of my F550. needed a steel centering and retaining bracket to fit into the existing stake pocket simply explained what I needed dimensionally, the angle that I wanted for the approach, the general engineering concepts behind it. moments later, I had a DXF file. I asked it to quote it with @sendcutsend. $156 for 4 pieces powdercoated. approved - shipped stored payment. arrives next week. exercise took five minutes. this is the future.
