maker of http://twilitype.ai & http://wiccad.ai

the best motivation for launching twilitype.ai is that I get to support my friends who are trying to go it on their own I want to facilitate the chasing of one's dreams and the hardest part of launching a business is seeing no traffic for months. NO MORE!…


How has your life been going these days? It’s been an unexpected 2-3 years for me. Friend/family deaths, major house fire, putting family into memory care (and visiting), burning out and moving on from a job/purpose that I was great at and gave me great joy for years.…

My brother (on the left), born Xmas eve & a year and a half younger than me, was found unresponsive Easter morning in a shelter. Fentanyl. Looking at this photo of us, it's hard to imagine that this is how it would end for him. I'm sorry your life was so hard, brother. #rip

Wow. @Medium doesn't allow you to type a double-space after a period! I feel like a cave-man typing a single-space 😔


A worldview: No one is stupid. All experiences are valid. All decisions, in the moment people make them, seemed like good decisions. Everyone has prejudice. 99.999% of life happens in-between words and is not describable, only experienced. We have no way of knowing if…


hot take: RAG will always be better than more context, head to head. Focus is important. Looking at you, #Gemini

If you're writing a book and feel like you want to stop, don't. Keep writing. If you're learning a new instrument and you feel like you want to quit, don't. Keep making music. If you're trying to launch a business and you feel like you're #ngmi...keep going. Do. Not. Stop.


Serious question. Does anyone know the best way/place to hire someone to help me launch an API service, metered billing? I already have the api built and people asking for me to launch it, I just don’t have time with current work to build out the management. I’ve never done it…


whatever you’re doing right now… building, learning, grieving even... w/e it doesn’t matter, your own brain is the biggest obstacle. this shithead little gremlin pops up to tell you, “not good enough. not gonna work. ur #ngmi” fuck that guy. yes you are. Keep. Going.


Wait until Houthi pirates find out about OnlyFans. We’ll have to subscribe to see their booty. 🏴‍☠️


Happy Friday, #builders! what are y’all working on this weekend?


it’s so true. also trying to do it while working full-time, consulting, and taking care of family. i have so much newfound respect and humility.

great emotional fortitude required when doing a startup

After reading the @nytimes lawsuit against @OpenAI and @Microsoft, I find my sympathies more with OpenAI and Microsoft than with the NYT. The suit: (1) Claims, among other things, that OpenAI and Microsoft used millions of copyrighted NYT articles to train their models (2)…

yo check this guy's work out. 👇 I use his work in my #svelte projects. his packages are silky smooth, small, well-made, and he's got a stack of professional and open-source work. wouldn't be surprised if it's too late and he's already building enormous value somewhere…

It's job hunt time. I'm looking for full-time engineering remote roles. Actions speak louder than words, so I will avoid the sales pitch and show you all the work I've done in last 3 years as a professional developer 🧵 1/n



His name is Buford Beaver. He hitched a ride home from the #denver National Wester Stock Show. Did I score?!

for twilitype.ai, I just added... twilitype.ai/markdown-wizard it has a button to live-scrape any website and drop the markdown (clean of scripts, css, etc.) directly into the editor and then you can highlight for a GPT context menu. 🔥 proud of it. #buildinpublic #gpts
