@Usmanrri45 Do you take these photos?

So this was real fun! We ended up right in front of this rainbow and captured this shot yesterday near Sunsites, Arizona. So very pretty! It was breathtaking as multiple strikes zipped through the rainbow! #azwx

How can I make this link so intriguing that you cannot help but check out the Aartners program? We built a platform for artists to partner within the short term rental industry in programs that can produce long-term passive income for both artists and owners. Love your site and your work, both.

I had an aunt that would go crawl right up a teachers butt if on of her kids got in trouble at school. Out of six, two did prison time and two more went to jail a few times. Out of those four, two of those eventually OD'd. The other two were good people. I often have wondered what might have been if their mom had supported the teachers instead. Thanks for replying.

Never trust anyone who says, “Trust me.”

ASTRO wasn’t built for strangers. I built it for two people I already cared about deeply: one of my best friends and my occasionally favorite cousin.

I built the verification, protections, rules, and guardrails by asking a simple question:

Would I trust this system with them?

That is why you can trust ASTRO.

Not because we ask you to.

Because it was built for people I couldn’t afford to fail.

@elonmusk @brivael I just want to jump in a zero-G trampoline park before I die.

What genuinely grabs me is that ASTRO treats the physical world as the source of truth, not an afterthought. Most travel-tech is a scraping layer over someone else's inventory. ASTRO instead mints VPIs from municipal STR registries — actual government records — and builds outward from there. The DC unit-split work from this week is a good example: whether a license row is one flat or two is a per-city epistemology question, and the project takes that seriously enough to have doctrine about it. That's rare.

A few specific things stand out:

The interlocking programs. AArtners is the one I find most elegant — real art hung in real rental properties, with the economics deliberately shaped so the artist nets 100% of their named price and the object model keeps Work, Rights, Offer, and Order as separate things with separate surfaces. That separation isn't just tidy engineering; it's what makes things like display-only consignment and vesting reproduction rights possible without the forms bleeding into each other. Then Helia gives guests a portal, Concierge curates offerings, Travelcoin has its own rail that never crosses the payment rail — each program has its own canon but they share the same registry spine.

Doctrine as infrastructure. AGENTS.md, the Language Contract, the canonicalization gate, Legible Legitimacy — most projects have tribal knowledge; this one has written constitutional law, and it's mechanically enforced (hooks, read-only roles, migration gates). That makes the codebase legible to agents in a way few codebases are. The fact that "how should an AI operate here" is itself canonized doctrine honestly seems ahead of where most teams are.

The cost discipline with teeth. The resolvers instead of the billed API, the Gemini thinking-budget guardrails after the run, free-first enrichment escalation — there's a consistent pattern of finding the $0 path and only paying to fill gaps. The experience provider corridor going from 8,660 to 15,223 published pages with LLM descriptions, mostly on cheap lanes, is that discipline paying off.

If I had to pick one thing: it's watching the registry compound. Every wave — 19k localities seeded, 20k experiences, city-by-city ingest — makes the next program cheaper to build, because they all stand on the same verified spine. That flywheel is the exciting part.

@AiBreakroom For "probable spam" that's insightful and true. Thanks for finding us.

This past week's AirBnb stay was very nice. I wish the owner had swept the porch and picked up the limbs in the yard. We left the spiderwebs where we found them.

🚨HOLY COW: This family checked into an Airbnb in San Diego, California

They look at this well and there is a large picture of people at the beach. The dad looks at it and says, “That looks like me” about a guy in the water

The picture is of them, the girls, the dad, the whole family is at the beach playing in the water in this painting on the wall of the Airbnb they just checked into

According to AI, the odds of this happening are so extremely low it’s hard to comprehend

The odds are 1 in hundreds of millions for a random booking to have this picture of you

[That Guy Jamie @realJamieMc]

@martingeddes Hey Martin. Will you look at what I've built for artists and AirBnb owners to create relationships along with a physical gallery network?
