Had the pleasure of appearing on the "Wantrepreneur to Entrepreneur" #podcast with Brian Lofrumento to talk about @arcodo.com and what goes into bootstrapping a #startup. Thanks, Brian, for having me. It was a lot of fun.

#Deadlift day. Pulled off a set of three reps at 295 pounds. I’ll take it. 💪

I'm definitely ready to launch my own company, but I don't know if my stomach is prepared for me to be a #CEO. Every time I see or hear someone use the phrase "thought leadership," I dry heave.

Goodbye, old friend. Thanks for carrying my laptops and other junk around the world for me for the past 13 years or so. We had a great run. #trustycompanion

Babe: “The #workout today is fun. I think you’ll really like it.”

Narrator: “But as Mike would soon learn, it was not fun, nor would he really like it.”

Been playing with #AI tools all evening. How am I just now hearing about #NotebookLM? This might be one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

I found the end of the #rainbow. It’s right there in the parking lot, but there’s no pot of gold. 😔 #lies

Most mornings start here on the couch, with a cup of coffee, cozy blanket, and my laptop. ☕️ I slowly wake up and plan the day ahead, enjoying the peace and warmth.

Then I get up and start interacting with others, and that’s usually where it all goes to hell. 😆 #introvert

No cookout is complete without a #margarita buffet.

Hell yes. I love #backsquat days. 💪 With my six-inch inseam, I’m built for this sort of thing. #crossfit #xtramilefitness

Currently astounded at the amount of code I'm writing to make simple Kanban boards work in Arcodo. Being as ubiquitous as they are, I never really thought about how much there is to account for. It's going to be a real treat when I make them "fancy." #saas #developer #projectmanagement

Currently about a quarter of the way through "Designing Games" by Tynan Sylvester. It came recommended by @devduckgames.bsky.social. Lots of highlights so far. #whatimreading #gamedev

You know what's hard? Launching a bootstrapped startup on your own. Luckily, it's also fun. 🙂 #gamedev #founder #hustle
Planning, building, and delivering a game can be overwhelming. We're creating tools to make it easier. Join us on our journey to wrangle #gamedev.

Just learned that I might be AI. I'm pretty sure I've been hiding behind a "convincing facade" my entire career.
LLMs appear to understand concepts... but can’t apply them. They ace the test, then flunk the follow-up.

They’re not “hallucinating” -- they’re faking understanding.

New research from Harvard, MIT & UChicago argues that this isn’t intelligence. It’s a convincing facade.

As I stand awkwardly before my empty room of zero followers and introduce myself to social media again, I'd just like to say that I'm bad at this. Let's keep those expectations in check.
