@AlephOneAI @DaveBlundin Well you can tell them you know a guy in business in this economy (and doing very well) and this ☝️is what he says

[Freedom Dumlao @APIguy]

If you're still waiting for AI to be "ready," you are already way way behind.

[Dave Blundin @DaveBlundin]

If you wait for AI to be "ready," then you're already behind.

Someone who saw it coming is already way ahead of you. The edge goes to whoever prepares now and is ready the moment the door opens.

One of my favorite moments from this AMAZING episode with Freedom Dumlao (@APIguy) from @Vestmark 👇

[Freedom Dumlao @APIguy]

By far the most common comment I'm getting from my most recent podcast appearance: "why don't you have any stickers?!"

It's a new laptop people! Which stickers should get first dibs?

[Freedom Dumlao @APIguy]

Had absolute blast talking with the one and only @DaveBlundin - it's always a great conversation and love swapping notes on AI, and the future of work

[Dave Blundin @DaveBlundin]

It was an absolute pleasure to sit down with Freedom Dumlao (@APIguy), CTO & CAIO at @Vestmark where he and the team are shipping AI inside a highly regulated, $2T+ wealth tech platform.

In this episode, learn about how all 400 employees at Vestmark use Claude Code, how they've built agentic systems like Pulse that prompt the advisor instead of waiting to be prompted, and how Fabric allows anyone in the company to spin up and share skills in 3 minutes.

Most banks are still rolling out Copilot to "a handful of test users this summer." Freedom is at least 18 months ahead of that and gaining steam. Thank you Freedom for joining me in the @Link_Ventures podcast studio!

Hello San Francisco

[Freedom Dumlao @APIguy]

@rushing_andrei @timohbee or anyone who worked for him

[Freedom Dumlao @APIguy]

@GregMolnar Good man.

[Freedom Dumlao @APIguy]

@eSquareDesign More to come in the next few days. Our intention is to share everything we know.

Any mysteries left would be mysteries to RC as well.

[Freedom Dumlao @APIguy]

@rushing_andrei Use it daily. Only issues I've had are with Zoom, but switched to using the Zoom browser version and problems are resolved.

[Jason Swett @JasonSwett]

I've shared this elsewhere but not on here yet...@pragdave will be keynoting @rubyconf 2026!! Hooray!!

Early bird tickets went on sale this week at rubyconf dot org.

I think I speak for Dave and myself when I say we would love to meet you in person at RubyConf in July.

@dvarrui Mi español no es muy bueno, pero sé lo suficiente para entender y agradezco que hayas incluido me pequeño proyecto :)

Way back in 2010 I had strayed far from Ruby-land and was spending much of my time working in C# writing Silverlight and WPF code. I missed Ruby and wouldn't you know it, IronRuby burst onto the scene! 🧵

[Freedom Dumlao @APIguy]

@dvarrui That would be wonderful

[Freedom Dumlao @APIguy]

If you're interested in a piece of programming history, an IronRuby DSL for XAML based UIs, here it is in all it's glory: https://t.co/SJLkiWj3wV resurrected from the dead.

So I went looking. It took a few hours but I finally found the original blog post about it too. I repurposed that, created a readme, and pushed it up to GitHub where it now lives.
