Sooooo have not been on top of things lately. Spend a couple weeks behind and it takes forever to catch up all of a sudden! 😩

This year has by far been my busiest year across so many initiatives, definitely need to cut down or do some personal quarterly management 🫠

🌊 We’re launching Fight Paperwork
(AI appeal-writing for providers who are done getting steamrolled by insurers)

After helping folks generate 3,000+ appeals through Fight Health Insurance professionals asked: "Can I use this?"

And now they can use fightpaperwork.com to get paid for their work :D

This is big, but also I'm kind of surprised this hasn't happened before (?), 4Chan as a website hasn't changed for decades and is probably built on a ton of legacy stuff.

Never not love seeing Oli and meeting new friends! 💖 Fun community discussions are underway

Definitely. Good riddance to that guy

Just came up w/ a very chewy talk "Decentralized Governance and Context engineering in the age of Edge AI" for a gaming conference.

We're about to hit monolithic context engineering with architecture consolidation + MCP, will we do distributed context engineering after? Are we already? Let me know.

After venting it was better!

Why are some old Caucasian men so candid around Asian women. No, I did not ask you why you think Trump is great. No, I won't tell you 'where I'm really from'. And I have no idea what you just said to me in Thai- now please leave me be in peace to read my book in this coffee shop 🙄

Just finished Rejection by @tonytula.com

Very raw and unfiltered, ultra millennial and raised-on-the-internet take on identity and sexual self ego. Loved the first few short stories but felt a bit dragged in the second half. I personally love that it exists and it had great prose and variety.

Doing backlog book reviews. This one was a re-read, and very interesting to revisit after a year in my current role. I missed all the contextualizing of business plans with her examples (particularly looking back at Elastic and NGINX) and the licensing forewarnings. Great primer for a founder or PM.

Lots of thinking around ambassadors programs this morning.. If anyone has experience building one from scratch please reach out.

Had a fun time exploring Orlando this evening. The theme parks are not really my jive so the real highlight was Lake Eola's birds and hitting up North Orange St. Fun folks all about.

Just picked up #SleepToken and @babymetal.bsky.social tickets ⚡ It's a good year to be a metal head in SF 💖

Arch Enemy and Trivium are also in town too 👀

It's a very raw experience for some reason. In contrast, I am a much more efficient reader at higher altitudes.

Wow trying to draft a business documents with no wifi on an airplane is so painful, but it really makes you realize where you sit on the dunning-krueger chart. A lot less lived in my head than I assumed

This is what I've noticed as well. Glad it's not only me 😂

Just print to PDF kappa

It definitely improved but wireless audio systems are still very hit or miss I've found. I still have issues with gaming headsets occasionally outside of Logitech or SteelSeries

Audio drivers on Linux are a nightmare, this is lucky
