“The Americans are here” Such a fun game for the opener of the US World Cup.

This makes coding feels a little like using video game power ups. We aren't used to every action costing money. So seeing how monetization and usage mechanic continue to develop will be interesting.

Looking for board game recommendations to play with my 3 year old. He gets out our board games and plays with the pieces but we have nothing age appropriate And don’t you dare suggest candyland. :)

Dear @Airbnb. We just stayed at a few places over our trip. Great experience. You have a wonderful app and great hosts. Please improve the review prompt email. It says '2 days left to review {hostname}' I stayed at 4 Airbnbs. I don't remember the exact host name. Adding the listing image would help. Adding the address would help. Any other context clue would help. Or a direct link to the Trip in your app so I could click that, remind myself who it is and what house it was, then review. Even worse, when you click the start the review it takes you straight into the review process with ZERO context about which stay this was. Adding the same hints there would also solve the issue. Right now current solution is to open new tab or app, go to Airbnb, go to list of Trips, scan to find the host name on the specific listing, then return and review. It could look something like this? Yours truly, -Josh

Medium hot take - software is not going to be ‘UI generated on the fly’ People want their tools to be stable. The Apple touch bar was dynamic UI. People hated it. You never knew what set of buttons you would get. Yes, some tasks and workflows will be dynamic or just happen. But the idea that you will just Ironman ‘hey Jarvis’ everything from scratch everytime is taking a logical idea to the silly extreme.

(Me hyping my ai agents up) We will be perfect, in every aspect of the game. You miss an implementation plan step, you run a mile. You use a deprecated API… you run a mile. You ship. A. Production bug. And I will cancel your subscription immediately… and then, you will run a mile. Perfection! Let’s go to work.

Heat pumps need a rebrand. So many people think they only ‘generate heat’ and don’t understand they can cool as well. So ideas for the rebrand. - hot cold pump - universal air conditioning - temp controller - one box climate control - universal AC - all season AC - hot cold AC

The Amazon 'hey you already bought this' banner, might be one of the greatest product wins of all time. From a corporate lens, it shouldn't exist. This banner directly decreases revenue. If they did not show people, "hey, you already bought this" how much more would they sell? But it directly increases customer happiness and trust. Which don't show up on the balance sheet but makes a huge difference. So that fact that this was ideated, designed, coded, and shipped, and it survived the gravity of 'make $ go up' is a huge win for good products.

Been a long time coming. (now that I launched my startup, I get why people don't put the Y axis labels. I'm sorry for mentally judging those who came before :)

I like this quote from good olde Ben. -> “He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.” - Benjamin Franklin It is the same idea as Jocko Willink's leadership framework in 'Extreme Ownership'. Take total, 100% responsibility for your actions, your team, and your outcomes, without making excuses or pointing fingers. Funny how the principles of success are the same but we explain them differently in different eras.

People should be able to build what they want on their land (including data centers) if they are following the law. (And the laws should be reasonable so as to not make it impossible to build anything.)

When you have to grind a tired late night coding session, Katy Perry 'The One That Got Away' beat is infectious and keeps the energy up.

New scam alert. I'm currently on the phone with a scammer (from a burner number) While I'm talking to them, I'll explain how this Robinhood crypto scam works: I got the classic “There’s an issue with your account, call this number” text. NEVER CALL A 'SUPPORT' NUMBER you get from a random text. But I wanted to see how the scam worked. So I called the number on a burner. They had a polished recorded intro to sound legitimate. Then the first person (the setter) asks a series of qualifying questions: things like “What’s your account balance so we can verify you?” and “Are your holdings stocks or crypto?” The goal is to weed out anyone without enough crypto to be worth scamming Once they decide you’re a target, they transfer you to their “security team.” That person throws around technical-sounding terms “keylogger,” “public Wi‑Fi,” “malware,” “fraud prevention,” “scam protection”, to make the story that your account has been compromised feel credible and to push you into a panicked, compliant state. Then comes the actual theft. They tell you to download a crypto wallet app they supposedly “partner with.” Next, they send you a seed phrase for a wallet (that obviously they control) as a way to 'link your account'. If you transfer your crypto there, thinking you’re 'securing' it, you’re actually handing them your funds. zero way to get them back. One especially smart part of the script: they warn you in advance that have put up “scam warnings,” in the app to mislead the “other scammers already in your account.” That matters because when you try to transfer crypto, legitimate platforms often show fraud warnings. Their script is designed to preempt those warnings and train you to ignore the last real safety check. At this point in time I told them how their scam worked and asked if they couldn't use their talents to benefit the world instead of stealing peoples money. The scammer actually paused and was real for a few seconds. Core lessons: 1. Never call a number you get sent claiming to be support. it's a scam. 2. If anyone claiming to be support tells you to move crypto to a new wallet, it’s a scam.

Up and to the right takes on a whole new meaning after you quit your job to go all in on your startup. This is our annual revenue. I'll share axis labels soon :)

The elevator couldn’t believe it… I was heading to a play with my wife downtown. Basically the whole theater parks in a specific parking garage and the elevator was packed. We all shifted around to fit everyone until I was pressed up against my wife’s side like I was whispering in her ear. I looked at her, smiled, and said in a flirty tone ‘so what’s your name?’ Everyone nearby frozen until my wife, who hates public attention said loudly ‘we are married!’. The whole elevator laughed and I mentally added a point to my ‘husband jokes’ score.

I just left my full time job to launch a startup. And I made $408 in April 2026. ThisAppWillGiveYouAbs - $8 MintChecklist - $400
