I guess I find this talk track weak because I don't think AI is taking all our jobs. It's like learning Excel 25 years ago. Makes you better at your job, if you learn and incorporate it. Some output of AI is such generic trash that I think there's always a premium for quality.

Is this the funniest video of the year sneaking in right at the end?

Kids are getting bikes for Christmas. Brought them home on my Yuba Fastrack cargo bike! Still have yet to need a car.

I bike daily. No car. Speed limit for all bikes should really be 25km/h (~18 mph) *or less* in pedestrian areas, 25km/h in protected bike lanes, and no speed limit in car lanes. I have spoken.

Why is American democracy dysfunctional? Because the grifters are the most incentives to run

Ask me how long I've advocated for eliminating the senate and electoral college

Spotted the new Line 5 tram doing test runs in Montpellier over the weekend!

Absolutely heinous atrocities Does this end? Feels like we're only in the 2nd inning.

The dude seems fine but wtf Hard pass. I've never wished I could talk to David Hogg? lol

Been doing yoga once per week lately. I feel like I've been missing out my whole life. It doesn't feel like much while you're doing it but after I get this awesome body high. Feels great.

Something I find hilarious: British English speakers have no idea how to say the word plaid

Guys we're just getting started

I used to be an EA for c-level execs, and a big part of my job was managing their inbox. They, and especially those above them in the social hierarchy—investors, advisors, board members, etc.—really are pretty much all just like this.

Completely bananas to me how many construction tech companies are. There's been some consolidation in the space over the last few years, but there really aren't many major players. Folks are going to make a ton of money when the consolidation starts.

For the public transit nerds: Today I learned that Montpellier's tram line 3 was the first circular loop tram in France 🚃 Random and useless nugget for you all.

Huge breakthrough building Grizz (getgrizz.com) For months, we've worked on a model to enrich account lists at scale for sales & marketing teams. Unleashed it today, and it works! Already have customers lined up! We can sell data at a fraction of the cost of ZoomInfo now. #buildinpublic

I can’t stop thinking about this Atlantic article from a few weeks ago. A study found that AI actually made developers 20% slower than working without it. www.theatlantic.com/economy/arch... 1/

When I was a kid, a house around the corner gave every flavor of airheads to every kid, wrapped in a rubber band.

A few weeks ago I teased a product I've been working on with 30k ARR before even launching. Last week we launched officially, and it was a huge relief! Check out getgrizz.com We're building industry specific data sets, starting with construction. #buildinpublic

These people are so close to understanding what the left has been screaming about for years

Double cargo bike IKEA run! Montpellier has really good bike infrastructure generally, but the protected bike paths to IKEA were GREAT! Finally got to wear biking rain gear too. Who needs a car?

Another great run 🇫🇷 Really love how all the buildings in this area are uniquely designed. So much better than the weird 4 over 1 style dominating the US

Same weather every day 😎 #montpellier #france

Banking in Europe is an entirely different level than USA. So much more efficient. Wiring money in the US cost money, requires a phone call usually, and threats about how the bank isn't responsible for anything. Takes days. In Europe, it takes literally seconds and 100% online.

When you expose your financials to your competitors just say "Vibey Codey did it" and it definitely won't get you fired.

Common trait of almost every expat I've met in France: They own investment properties

I hit this wall about 6 months ago, found a partner, pushed through, and now we're at almost $30k ARR in only 2 months. We don't even have a fully built product yet! Pauline's advice is A+ #buildinpublic

Grand opening of a new park in Les Arceaux, Montpelier this weekend. Great spot! Built over a parking lot and apparently some people are upset. Car brain is everywhere folks! Glad the mayor is doing so much for pedestrian, bike, and community infrastructure in spite of it.

Had my first successful, 100% organic, interaction with somebody on the street in French Old woman asked me if the train station was "over there" and I said "yes, over there" Sorta ridiculous but pretty satisfying! So much harder than at a store or something where you have contextual clues.

Why does the garbage bread have to be American 😱

Gratuitous French urban sunset Can I fit any more incredible things in a picture? Will be tough. Oh and the tram is free.

Remember when that Fox News guy said we should solve homelessness by just killing them? Make you wonder why nobody else thought of that.

French know how to protest Americans could learn a thing or two from the French #bloquonstout

Benefit of working for yourself is extended morning workouts in places like this.

Your last saved pic is your philosophy

Bought bike insurance completely in French today

New bike racks going in around the corner from my apartment! I assume this is part of Mayor Michaël Delafosse's bike infrastructure initiative that he kicked off in 2022. I'm here for it! www.eco-counter.com/blog/montpel... #montpellier

As an American, it's hard for me to grasp a school system in which every school nationwide starts on the same day! What do people talk about when they meet people? I've had so many conversations with other Americans about when my school started as a kid. 🇫🇷 www.sudouest.fr/politique/ed...

Pastries in France are next level but I'm gonna need them American sized. Only lasted 30 seconds

The head of state has commoditized fraud Hell of a time to be alive

Figured out enough French to activate my SIM card today. Basically fluent.

I'm bothered by the guns but also by the shoes inside the house. On carpet no less.

So many European cities have an indescribably chill vibe in the morning. This area is hopping until 2am or later. In the morning, just peaceful. Montpellier, France 🇫🇷

Great part of being self employed is taking the day off whenever I want! Family took ebikes to the beach in Palavas-les-Flots. Great ride, great beach. Love that the path follows the Lez river the whole way. Digging the protected bike path through town in Montpellier.

Beautiful sky over Montpellier, France a couple nights ago

Vibe from my apartment WC is medieval castle under siege

Quickly becoming my all time best purchase. Public transportation is also really living up to expectations!

Is ChatGPT 5 way slower? It might be marginally better than 4, but so much slower.
