@eddiejaoude More, authenticity is king.

[Mat Keep @matkeep]

Voyage AI models now run natively on Fireworks, the first and only dedicated inference platform @VoyageAI by @MongoDB has partnered with.
Embed, retrieve, rerank, generate: your full retrieval pipeline on one platform, next to the open models you own.

@davidsenra @beverly_pell Increase your surface area for luck.

[Andrew Johnson @AndrewJohnson22]

@davidsenra I loved the section on competition, specifically how Magic Johnson focused on finding the player most likely to score, the outcome. Great takeaway for managing high functioning teams.

[Andrew Johnson @AndrewJohnson22]

@themotleyfool The same applies to career growth. Short term urgency, long time horizon. Don't give up.

@FoundersPodcast @mickymalka There are levels to this thing. Being interested in investing, sure. Buying one stock of Berkshire when you are 13 in Venezuela, that’s different.

[Andrew Johnson @AndrewJohnson22]

@dhh Enjoyed the episode, thanks for sharing your life’s work. Passion & conviction is all you need.

[Andrew Johnson @AndrewJohnson22]

@pronounced_kyle Or makes them feel good about themselves for never pounding the leverage button.

[MongoDB @MongoDB]

Voice AI is scaling fast. @ElevenLabs is showing what that looks like.

ElevenLabs has evolved from breakthrough voice models into a platform for interactive, enterprise-ready AI agents.

With MongoDB, the company replaced a more complex architecture with a unified data layer, making it easier to support high-accuracy speech workflows and chat experiences with less operational friction.

See how they unlocked scale with MongoDB: https://t.co/0a4FIVO4j9

@MichaelDell What's old is new again! Congrats!

[Andrew Johnson @AndrewJohnson22]

@MongoDB Love working with Nic Raboy! My customers got MongoDB MCP installed quickly, check it out!

[Andrew Johnson @AndrewJohnson22]

@davidsenra A perfect example of following passion. How are you going to outcompete a guy that cares this much about his craft?

[Andrew Johnson @AndrewJohnson22]

@MollySOShea @cj_mongodb @MongoDB is built for AI, bringing flexibility to the operational data layer. Change is the only constant. Your AI agents speak in JSON, store it natively.

@SherryYanJiang I just put the family stuff on the work calendar at this point, all in one place.

[Andrew Johnson @AndrewJohnson22]

@davidu Loved this story, interesting that he let them spend as required, but constrained them via the footprint given the long poles of construction/red tape. People tend to produce their best work on a deadline/limited options.

[Andrew Johnson @AndrewJohnson22]

@morganhousel Enjoying the new podcast format!

[Andrew Johnson @AndrewJohnson22]

@katiekirsch On the comms, we use slack to work out in the open. Keep the full ecosystem informed, it makes everyone more effective. Build in public.

[Andrew Johnson @AndrewJohnson22]

@katiekirsch Solutions > questions, bias for action.

@MongoDB Bringing vector search on-prem to the people!
