CEO of @GetGreenzie. Love automating things with software. @entrepreneurorg, @ypo. Let's go run or lift heavy things together.

Mower with our software working since June 2022. Mowing sites like this Kroger Distribution Center every week. Every DC in the US next.

The older I get, the more I realize that optimism is a competitive advantage. Not blind positivity. The belief that problems can be solved. That things can improve. That your actions matter. People who believe a better future is possible are the ones who create it.

[Charles Brian Quinn @SeeBQ]

Phew. Was feeling guilty about this!

The only thing worse than having the CEO knee-deep in building stuff with AI is not having the CEO knee-deep in building stuff with AI.

@ahmedshubber25 You might be right but with the right partner you aren’t just subsidizing their platform but leveraging things like their dealer network, sales, and experience. Not to mention existing customer base who want a trusted brand. Both are hard.

@skyshuford Congrats on the milestone! Onward and upward.

[Charles Brian Quinn @SeeBQ]

@davempayne I love everything about it except for the price, which is the same as private school!

[Charles Brian Quinn @SeeBQ]

Just signed the kids up for Alpha Summer School (the one week experience)! I'm more excited than they are!

[Charles Brian Quinn @SeeBQ]

@davempayne Yes, exactly. We’ve done the informational sessions, but this is to experience a full week.

@bscholl @Starlink Delta is a credit card company with a legacy airline business still operating.

[Charles Brian Quinn @SeeBQ]

@bscholl Or ride the lawnmowers! @GetGreenzie

[Charles Brian Quinn @SeeBQ]

@davidcummings This is true.

[Jesse Genet @jessegenet]

Maybe if parents had support, they'd have more kids.

Maybe AI agents can be a part of that support system.

Maybe AI uses computers so we can touch grass.

My wife this morning: "Wow! Building out an open claw agent. I called it Daphne. Getting it to build out a meal plan based on our Amazon grocery orders and [our favorite meal prepper's] sample menus." Look what you've done @jessegenet !

@JasonrShuman Truth

[Charles Brian Quinn @SeeBQ]

If my 12-year-old self could see me now: “Of course I’m still good at video games, drive a cool futuristic truck, and help make robots as my job.”
But he would not believe: “I like to sit in a sauna and listen to sermons and historical accounts of Jesus.”

[Charles Brian Quinn @SeeBQ]

@shaneparrish Did you measure your internal temperature? Ice packs? My sauna is heating up now. I do 194 for 20 regularly, never tried longer.

[Nandkishor @devops_nk]

Honestly, this is the most accurate diagram I've seen.

Waterfall: You plan for 18 months and deliver exactly what nobody needs anymore.

Agile: You deliver something usable at every step, but the CEO keeps asking, "Where's the car?"

AI: You get the car on day one. It has six wheels, the doors are on backwards, and it has a rocket launcher. You spend more time making it yours than actually "building"; it's shaping. owning. verifying. That's what the best AI developers do now. They don't build. They shape and own.

@Robbie_R23 Hubspot, but also we use OpenPhone now quo to send texts, they work great for quick call to actions

[Charles Brian Quinn @SeeBQ]

@ggraham @GetGreenzie None! Down and back!

[Charles Brian Quinn @SeeBQ]

Trained a big landscaper today on @GetGreenzie Powered Autonomy in SC. Tomorrow training another large fleet customer in Charleston SC. Love my job!
