@kamilrextin Neat! What'd you think of Neon? I haven't tried it yet.

If you're vibecoding a new business, not just a side project like most of mine are, what's in your stack?

[Colin Nederkoorn @alphacolin]

@gyankarn Nice! I haven't spent any time yet with tanstack or clerk. Have used the other two.

[Colin Nederkoorn @alphacolin]

@nsphin @conversaflex @ZightApp Nice! There's such great potential with learning languages via AI.

Would https://t.co/UiA34i4ixz work for your use case?

[Colin Nederkoorn @alphacolin]

@ChrisJelly I didn't realize they Kotlin had this. Very cool. I also confirmed I too have vibecoded an app in Kotlin for my android panel. It was a blast.

[Colin Nederkoorn @alphacolin]

@michaelkoper Classic!

[Colin Nederkoorn @alphacolin]

@immad Becoming a chartered bank is a huge step. Can't wait to see it.

I'm pledging to offset my AI usage by not eating or drinking almond based products.

[Colin Nederkoorn @alphacolin]

Gemini omni... not bad. Uploaded a video of me holding a bowl (and saying what I said) and told it:

"The set of an online streamer who sells live miniature animals. Replace the bowl with a miniature goat in his hand. Make sure it moves around a little and makes noise. Then also change the set background to be over the top. Also put text at the bottom with 1-800-4-ANIMALS and buy now and emojis."

@nickgillespie @JoshEakle @grok how many nvidia h100s could we cool if we diverted all the water from almond production?

[Colin Nederkoorn @alphacolin]

Both of these were my last purchases in each category.

Every once in a while I watch a microphone review, or I get headphones for some other purpose, but at my desk, this combo is the top 🏔️

For coffee prices, Seattle had the widest range and 2nd highest average.

[Colin Nederkoorn @alphacolin]

I went to Seattle a couple of weeks ago and 3 things made me concerned about its future.

1. The coffee is still meh there.
2. Public drug use was still rampant where Portland and San Francisco have noticeably improved though they both aren't great yet.
3. Prices are really high. Ubers, restaurants, coffee again. I think their recent efforts to make it more affordable for people have made it less affordable.

I got back and talked to someone who works for another big Seattle area employer. They said many leaders of teams have been given flexibility and have moved to other offices out of state and are hiring everywhere but Washington these days.

I think the politicians are underestimating how many other large companies are moving away even more quietly.

@Grantimus9 Thanks for the clarification Grant! And please keep the feedback coming. If you or your coworker want to share what’s working / not working, I’m Colin@ and can pass it on to the team.

[Colin Nederkoorn @alphacolin]

I’ve been using our CLI during development and it’s now my primary way to use the product.

[Customer.io @CustomerIO]

https://t.co/frLEWgiP92 now has a CLI and MCP server—meaning you can create campaigns, manage segments, trigger broadcasts, and query customer data directly from your terminal or from inside Claude, Cursor, and Codex. No UI required.

For technical marketers and growth engineers, it means your messaging infrastructure finally lives in the same environment as the rest of your work. Same rigor, same review process, same tooling.

For developers shipping fast, it removes friction from day one.

[Colin Nederkoorn @alphacolin]

@Grantimus9 Just to clarify mcp + Claude was more effective for you than the cli + Claude code? Or the agent inside the product?

Would love to dig in in either case!

[Colin Nederkoorn @alphacolin]

What's the latest advice on getting your claw on iMessage?

Apple account requires a phone number and it keeps blocking me with my # on my main account. Is the path to get a cheap sim and use that to register?

[Colin Nederkoorn @alphacolin]

@eastdakota How do you set direction? I end up creating a picture in my head of where I think we need to go and then try to put it in other peoples heads. We’ve also got a few okrs floating around.

[Colin Nederkoorn @alphacolin]

@LucasDickey4 @stripe Do we still need to see the work the agents are doing? If we do, are we custom building the view we want in a turn with a coding agent? Or logging in to platform where the activity happened?

Where’d you land?

[Colin Nederkoorn @alphacolin]

Sometimes our customers escalate things to me on social, and I want to be more responsive.

If I can scan every message, I can classify them and identify the ones that need a fast response.

@LinkedIn specifically is throwing up roadblocks for me! Email alerts don't consistently have message content. There's no reliable CLI. They have serious bot detection (makes sense).

Any solutions out there? Can I pay more to linkedin to get read access to all my DMs?
