That's right I used PowerShell on a Mac, to build a SQLServer-on-Linux container. All inside of @AzureDataStudio FTW!

I had a ton of fun writing this article.

Huge thanks to @dbafromthecold whose video for @sqlpowershell VG inspired me to try this! 👏

@EF_Oatly Oh no, so sad to hear! 🥺

Hope she recovers quickly!!

This sounds awesome. I have to try this! 😃

Very cool story. Read the whole tweet! 😃

Yesterday Mark Cuban reposted my work, DM'd me, and told me to keep telling my story.

So here it is.

I'm a Master Electrician. IBEW Local 369. 15 years pulling wire in Kentucky. Zero coding background. I didn't go to Stanford. I went to trade school.

Every week I'd show up to a home where someone just bought a Tesla or a Rivian. And every time, someone had already told them they needed a $3,000-$5,000 panel upgrade to install a charger.

70% of the time? They didn't need it.

The math is in the NEC — Section 220.82. Load calculations. But nobody was doing them for homeowners. Electricians upsell. Dealers don't know. And the homeowner just pays.

I got angry enough to build something about it.

I found @claudeai. No coding experience. I just started talking to it like I'd explain a job to an apprentice. "Here's how load calcs work. Here's the NEC code. Now help me build a tool that does this."

6 months later — @ChargeRight is live. Real software. Stripe payments. PDF reports. NEC 220.82 calculations automated. $12.99 instead of a $500 truck roll.

I'm still pulling wire. I still take service calls. I wake up at 5:05 AM for work.

But something shifted.

Yesterday @vivilinsv published my story as Claude Builder Spotlight #1. Mark Cuban saw it. The Claude community showed up. And for the first time, I felt like this thing I built in my kitchen might actually matter.

I'm not a tech founder. I'm a dad who wants to coach little league and be home for dinner. I just happened to build something that helps people.

If you're in the trades and thinking about using AI — do it. The barrier isn't technical skill. It's believing you're allowed to try.

@SQLGene @silvertrade Indeed.

@realEstateTrent @TheHighTake To be fair, I would not be surprised by this kind of take from literally any adult who doesn't have kids.

Until you're a parent to your own little mini-me, it can be hard to grasp.

First time my youngest son called me his Best Friend, I immediately felt totally unworthy.

@davidbateman I bet @JoshPhilipPhair can get you pointer in the right direction. 😃

[A-a-ron 👨‍💻 👨‍🔬 📊 @SQLvariant]

@davidbateman HEY!
I resemble that remark! 😋

@Mrpippins652 @davidbateman "paper" profits. That's hilarious!!!

Twitter needs a button that's "bring back that tweet I was just starting to read before you automatically refreshed."

@SullyCNBC Considering the two accidents I've seen involving them, something needed to happen 😬

[A-a-ron 👨‍💻 👨‍🔬 📊 @SQLvariant]

@elonmusk Good. All the more reason to just drive the car myself!

@davidbateman I bet CME Group is planning another margin hike already!

@Barchart Source?

[A-a-ron 👨‍💻 👨‍🔬 📊 @SQLvariant]

@davidbateman @ImTrumpsLover I love this take. 😃

[A-a-ron 👨‍💻 👨‍🔬 📊 @SQLvariant]

@SullyCNBC It sure will be interesting to watch.

The biggest gap in the whole elictrification of cars is plug-in hybrids with a small amount of range.

Brian,
Ford killed the best vehicles they had. The plug-in hybrid Fusion was pokey, but still fantastic!
