@adrishaBiswas For mobile I’m using simple form input for now. I just pulled Gemma 4 12B and I’m planning to add OCR next so crews can snap a picture instead of typing everything in. Gemma will help make sense of the extracted data and validate it before generating the fab sheet.
I’m building a tool for sprinkler contractors to create and export pipe fabrication sheets. Too many fab requests are still handwritten on cardboard or walls, leading to mistakes, rework, and wasted office time translating field notes into something usable. Trying to make that process a lot cleaner. https://t.co/p7OPvu69dT

@boardyai Built a simple little app to create fav sheets on the job site. Most requests I get from field are either written on card board or the wall and you can’t tell if it’s a 9 or and 8. So this helps them create clean pipe fabrication sheets and export to send. https://t.co/N2fObEoRvK
Thanks to some great feedback, wrapped up a round of mobile optimizations and bug fixes for FieldFab this evening.
Every update gets us one step closer to replacing spreadsheets, texts, sticky notes and card board with something built for the field.

Venturing into the mobile market… or at least making my app mobile-ready.
Question for the devs: Is it worth buying a Mac for Xcode development, or is a VM setup good enough these days?
Curious to hear real-world experiences from people who have gone either route. #iosdev #flutter #reactnative #indiedev #buildinpublic
We’re getting close to the point where ‘Google it’ sounds dated.
The next generation won’t search for answers—they’ll ask for them.
What replaces ‘Google it’?
‘Ask AI’?
‘ChatGPT it’?
‘Prompt it’?”

@JessePeplinski Vibe coding is Jesus take the wheel. Agentic engineering here are the directions but show me the road signs as you are traveling to our destination. In my novice opinion.
Spent tonight pushing more beta upgrades to FieldFab.
The goal is simple: give sprinkler contractors better visibility into fabrication without adding more admin work.
Small improvements.

IMO, there isn't a single best AI model.
What's your #1 for:
• Coding
• Google replacement
• Learning
• Business
• Agents/automation
If you could keep only one, which would it be?

Has coding and vibe coding become the new gaming for anyone else?
One minute you’re fixing a bug. The next thing you know it’s 2 AM and you’ve accidentally built an entire app.

@JessePeplinski Yikes….gotta spin that local model and get agent wired up. I have qwen and mistrel on my home box. Just got new gpu. Working on vscode addon to link your local model too. I’m sure one exists but fun to build.
When I first became a dad I was genuinely worried my career would suffer.
The opposite happened. 3 things changed that I wasn't expecting.
First, a child cuts the filler from your life instantly.
I used to sit at my desk for 14 hours and feel like I was crushing it when in reality maybe 4 of those hours were actual work and the rest was meetings that didn't need to happen, scroll sessions I told myself were research, and "quick calls" that turned into 90 minutes of nothing. A child deletes all of that overnight.
Because you literally don't have the time anymore. Every hour matters in a way it didn't before. You could be with your kid, working on your startup, exercising, having dinner with your wife, sleeping. When your time is actually full of things you care about, the filler can't survive. I'm shipping more now than before my kid was born. Half the meetings. Faster decisions.
I stopped saying yes to things out of politeness because my time has a very real cost now that I can feel in my bones.
Second, your risk tolerance goes up, not down.
Everyone assumes having a kid makes you play it safe. For me it created this urgency to build something real while my kid is young enough to not remember the hard parts. That urgency is more useful than any productivity system I've ever tried.
Third, your thinking just gets clearer.
I don't know how else to explain it. You stop deliberating for days and just make the call. You stop chasing every opportunity and only chase the ones that actually excite you.
Something about being responsible for another human being gives you this filter that cuts through the noise instantly. Before my kid, I'd go back and forth on a decision for a week. Now I make it by lunch and move on.
I used to think having a kid was the thing I'd do after I built the company. Turns out the kid made me better at building the company. Wish someone had told me that sooner. So I'm telling you.
I know this sounds like something a new dad says to justify it. I thought the same thing when other dads told me. Then it happened to me and I understood.
I think you will too.
Building software that removes repetitive work from people's day.
If I find myself doing the same thing twice, there's a good chance I'm going to automate it.
