Building eXovy for Oil & Gas in public

[Josh Lefebvre @JoshLefe]

@blurbanist @HoustonTX @houstonpolice Public transporation needs to come first. Build a train from Katy -> downtown, then Woodlands -> downtown.

Suddenly businesses can get talent to wnt to commtue downtown. Suddenly stores and bars can survive downtown. Suddenly people want to actually live downown

People always sleeping on HTX... Its now the sixth-largest metro economy in the U.S., moving ahead of Washington, D.C.

I've been saying this for a while but this city is an industry juggernaut

[Chron @chron]

📈 Houston’s economy just hit a milestone most cities never touch.

A new report says Houston’s GDP reached a record level and is growing faster than nearly every major U.S. metro. The numbers also show a shift that says a lot about where the region is headed next.

@thesamparr I run an agency/consultancy. I'm about to roll out specific P&Ls for my department heads only for their specific departments.

They'll share in profits based on their departments book of business & profitability.

Early days - will report back on results

[Josh Lefebvre @JoshLefe]

@jjen_abel If they are asking yes I agree. But normally I'm proactive in sending some of over before they ask.

My tech services company works in several different industry. They just want to see that I've solved similar problems in their industry

[Josh Lefebvre @JoshLefe]

Pretty much the only way I ever want to spend my Saturdays

@zk54 Let's go!! 🔥

I'm building AI for oil & gas. Why?
→ Big AI won't touch it as its too "ugly" for Silicon Valley
→ Global production is forecast to grow for 25+ more years despite what everyone might think about clean energy
→ The industry is massively underserved by modern software

The best opportunities are where nobody's looking.

Biggest challenge in building the eXovy platform for oil & gas is getting the SCADA data real time feeds. Anyone able to get around this ?

@Bowtiedplayer 1. Roast and Brew (Heights 19th street)
2. Agora (Montrose)
3. First Cup coffee (woodlands)

All open until midnight 😉

@readswithravi Just ordered it ! Should be in by Wednesday!

[Josh Lefebvre @JoshLefe]

Reading Isaacson's Steve Jobs biography. Interesting to see the closed vs open system debate - Android vs Apple for smart phone. Windows vs MacOS for operating systems.

Always hated on Apple for closed systems... but understanding Job's vision for Hardware + Software built in unison makes me understand why this is likely better for 95% of users

The amount of $$$ I could save by just running a simple google search on people I've gone into business with is crazy

[Josh Lefebvre @JoshLefe]

@HoustonChron Finally, some new high rises going up. The downtown + galleria skylines have so much potential

[Josh Lefebvre @JoshLefe]

@AlexAndBooks_ Really wanting to read The Almanac of Naval. Can anyone confirm if its different info than what he's put out on his podcasts?

[Josh Lefebvre @JoshLefe]

@capraidev @pmitu They weren't thinking ahead. No docs if the team needed to scale up, extremely limited observability for live on-going incidents, no alerts for when AI tokens were exceeded. Small issues... but it was too reliant on AI Agents for building everything

[Josh Lefebvre @JoshLefe]

@404G_ Manus all day... Most impressive tool by a mile. Took all the best features from all 3 and mashed them into a cohesive product

[Josh Lefebvre @JoshLefe]

@mpopv Or just get jacked and then you can literally wear a 5$ white tee from Walmart.

Can't put makeup on a pig

[Josh Lefebvre @JoshLefe]

@noahkagan Team meta - if you haven't tried it yet... highly recommend Manus. Best integrations and most tools by far

[Josh Lefebvre @JoshLefe]

Used Claude for a while... used GPT... Manus is without a doubt one of the best tools I've used in a while. Pdf generator, image generator, slide decks, landing pages...
