Thank you @realBobbyHealy for welcoming the FAA team to @MannaAeroโs Dublin HQ. It was a pleasure talking with you and @AvTrain_aeroโs @GarlandJulie1 about the future of drone delivery. Our cross-nation partnership is essential to unlocking the full potential of this emerging innovation while maintaining safety. Excited to see what tomorrow brings!
Great conversations start with opennessโand that was very much the case welcoming @FAA_Bryan to our Dublin HQ.
We had a positive, forward-looking exchange on European & US regulatory frameworks and how industry and regulators can work together to unlock the next phase of drone delivery at scale.

If you want to truly learn how disruptive agentic coding is going to be, take a read of this. I built a fully functional replacement for multiple AI notetakers in 18 days (part-time) while not even trying.

Great article by @unmanndairspace, but I have to respectfully disagree with Koen. @MannaAero is already operating at a commercially viable scale and growing. Implementing U-space is now the next step to further facilitating Manna and other operators in their continued growth.

Stripe ๐ intense traffic spikes. Last week, @Zevent held the largest charity stream in Franceโโฌ10m raised!โand smoothly handled traffic peaking at a sustained 3,000 requests per second with 99.9999% uptime. (If you try 3,000 rps on most payments providers, they will fall over.)

Call me biased but @MannaAero @realBobbyHealy have done more food deliveries than most (if not all) of the companies mentioned here in a commercial setup
Their cost curve is rapidly declining where it's already superior to delivery by driver
Maybe part of the answer is not over-fixating on parcel? Just sayin'

Looks cool but canโt see it replacing a phone. If they lunched before chatGPT went mainstream it would have had a mega WOW factor. But now just feels like an advert for ChatGPT. Will I be eating these wordsโฆ๐ค
