Tracking real estate deals before they hit the market | Co-founder @ Boardwalk AI

[brettev @brettev]

Most real estate deals are already won…

before anyone knows they exist. Not Zillow/brokers

They start here:
• city council agendas
• zoning changes
• planning commission meetings

We’re tracking all of it at Boardwalk.
Projects, developers, votes, objections — everything

Wings not weight. Love that

[Hank Smith @hankrsmith]

The gospel was made to be wings, not weight. If it’s dragging you down, something is off. It should help you live better, not leave you bitter.

Ask the faithful people you admire and trust to help you adjust your perspective. The Lord will speak to you through them.

@HansMahncke @GivnerAriel - is that how the fifth works?

[brettev @brettev]

Flipping the paywall is exciting and a little bit of anxiety inducing

[brettev @brettev]

@Jason @cursor_ai I give it two months until Composer 3, and that’s going to be the best agent/harness combo. Already 2.5 was amazing. Even compared with Fable

[brettev @brettev]

Comcast business. Of course

[brettev @brettev]

It’s always the services you don’t even know you’re using with the absolute worst contracts. No renewal notices. Just auto renew into 3 years. Ugh. If this gets one like I’ll call them out

[Rep. Mike Kennedy, M.D. @RepMikeKennedy]

I’m a Latter-day Saint, and I am a Christian.

Christ’s name is on our Church for a reason.

This must be corrected.

To anyone reading this who might be facing a similar crossroads, meet my son Josh.

Josh is 3 and has Down Syndrome, the very condition shared about here in this post. We received a prenatal diagnosis at roughly 10 weeks. Some of the complications we feared happened, but that wasn't the end of the story. Josh was born early and spent a month in the hospital. At 1 year old, he had open-heart surgery. Now he's 3, loves life, and is thriving. The hard days didn't win.

If anyone else finds themselves in a similar place, reach out. There's a whole community of people here to support you. It hasn't always been easy, but he's worth every bit of it and then some.

@andrewfarah Yea I get that. I use it within cursor, and have my rules tell it which profile to use per repo. For sure annoying up front but then it just works

[Vikram Pai @vikpai]

Running a business is just realizing how dumb you were 6 months ago every 6 months

[brettev @brettev]

@jasonlk I mean, even with compression you lose stuff like those hard rules and then you’re in a pickle

[brettev @brettev]

@jasonlk so after listening to your last podcast, you guys talk a lot about feeding all this context into it but then it messes up things. It seems like you’re probably just running out of context windows, which causes it to forget the earlier things. Wonder what a V2 is like

[brettev @brettev]

@jasonlk I hear this from a lot of people that do really long sessions and there’s not a great way to get around it other than to do smaller sessions with smaller tasks instead of using the same session to go on and on and on. Not exactly sure how you do that in replit though

[Alex Volkov @ AI Engineer @altryne]

.@satyanadella just put the whole "water" debate to rest.

Datacenters run on a closed loop cooling system, the water usage of a datacenter for an entire year is roughly equivalent to a usage of 1 restaurant!

[brettev @brettev]

@MountainDew Make voltage zero you cowards!

[brettev @brettev]

41 states

[Olivia Moore @omooretweets]

@cursor_ai New @cursor_ai data shows this. P99 devs produce 46x more lines than median dev

I predict this comes to every function 🤔

IMO, many top performers will be people constrained by the "old system" (couldn't design, code, lacked organization, etc.)

AI gives them these powers!

[brettev @brettev]

@taypme I’m not cool enough to be in a band

[brettev @brettev]

This is how I explain me getting better results out of opus through cursor than people using Claude code

[dharmesh @dharmesh]

The harness matters more than the model.

Models have gotten really good. Great reasoning, large context windows, better instruction following.

But, what makes *use* of those capabilities is actually the harness. It's what provides tools, memory, skills and context to the model.

ChatGPT is a harness. Claude Cowork is a harness.

Without the harness, the model is just an engine with no car. You don't get anywhere.
