founder dilemma for upstack data. the upstack data CLI for claude code is seeing huge adoption for brands building on top of our data warehouse but claude loops are absolutely ripping our APIs in terms of usage. not sure how this scales, but the average CLI user is like 500x-1000x the number of api calls of a dashboard only user. its still early days, but we're going to have to figure out how to correctly address this

nah i dont think you will get skewered for it when you say many, do you mean median, average or literally just a few brands within your data set? any patterns amongsts the fastest growing brands? are they mostly supplements or broad based? i think it's great to hear more POV from people like you guys instead of just NB.

God will Neverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr fail you.

Benedict Evans says AI means more software, not less: "There's going to be a bunch of stuff you could do with software that you just couldn't do before at all. And so there will be more competition." "If you think about the enterprise software fleet today, you've got three buckets... big iron horizontal systems, so SAP and Workday and your CRM... vertical software... and then in the middle, this fuzzy improvised space of Excel and email and the shared file system." "Now you add ChatGPT to that. Do you do that in an LLM? Is there an LLM tool that means you can do that in Salesforce where you couldn't do it before, or you can do it in your vertical app that you couldn't do before?" "All of which is a long way of saying, what does this do to software? And it must be more software. Way more software." @benedictevans with @eriktorenberg

It's unfair to people who spend a ton of time to immigrate legally. I don't really get why people are so pro-illegal immigration.

My family came from Cuba. They love Cuba. The food. The culture. The people. They’re proud to be Cuban. But not a single one wishes they still lived there. They came to America for American values. That’s why the immigration debate is so bizarre to them. The people who immigrated legally are often the biggest supporters of deporting people who didn’t. Funny how waiting in line makes you respect the line. Look at Paris last night…disgusting. Look at parts of Europe. Look at what happens when a country stops enforcing its own rules. If you entered America illegally, you should be deported. That’s not anti-immigrant. It’s literally how immigration works. The fastest way to destroy a country is to stop enforcing the standards that made people want to move there in the first place.

There is something darkly amusing about the fact that selling victimhood to the most privileged people in history has become such a lucrative and big business. When I was on tour with @jordanbpeterson he talked about many things, but probably the most common recurring theme was the "Spirit of Cain". It seems our ancient and sacred texts tell these stories for a reason: victimhood is easy, seductive and addictive. And now profitable too. We are living through a perpetual victimhood escalation battle where people (and groups) now compete not on merit, but on the supposed disadvantages they face. Which makes perfect sense since this is the incentive structure our societies have been encouraged and forced to adopt.

We must deport

The MAHA movement doesn't stop with what we EAT — It's also about what we WEAR. For decades, America offshored textile jobs and allowed foreign synthetic, plastic-based materials to take over the clothing market. Together with @SecKennedy, the Great American Cotton Plan puts American-grown cotton FIRST again: supporting our farmers, strengthening U.S. manufacturing, and giving families a natural choice.
