Software engineer. I make digital products, create user experiences, and enjoy talking about anything related to design/development.

Today, Ramp raised $750M at a $44B valuation.

Last time we grew this fast, we were 1/20th the size.

For 2000 years, business was built on two pillars. Today, a third: intelligence.

It’s your least governed cost. It’s also your single greatest opportunity.

I spent years on call for month-end closes at a factoring company, balancing accounts by hand.

Now, from @tryramp, firms can close up to 60% faster with AI agents on Stack. Any client, no Ramp card needed.

Introducing Stack.

The AI operating system that lets accounting firms take on more clients without hiring. Learns your firm's process, runs the close, posts the journals. Fully auditable.

We’re living through the biggest shift in accounting since the spreadsheet.

Big news! I'm joining @tryramp on April 13! 🎉

Been in awe of what this team has built. Couldn't be more excited to be part of it.

New chapter starts soon. Let's go! 🚀

[Chad Donohue @chaddonohue]

@ericclemmons I started going this direction too. It's really neat to be able to solve your own problems quickly on how you want to work. And, the creativity of the community helps to feed even more ideas!

[Chad Donohue @chaddonohue]

Using our new `issue-investigator` skill, I was not only able to easily trace Cloudwatch logs but also generate a nice interactive artifact to illustrate why the new suggested fix works.

Seeing what happened is great.
Visualizing how it can be fixed is even better!

[Chad Donohue @chaddonohue]

@ericclemmons Agreed. Don’t sleep on using Claude playgrounds for reviewing PRs either. This is a nice way of looking at a diff and having a conversation about how it works and what it does.

Manual reviews are still the bottleneck, but AI only amplifies an existing process problem.

The easiest solution is for a team to make reviews the 1st thing they do before anything else.

Before email, chat, or their own work.

By standup, there shouldn’t be a review missing.

@sanelo_ @burcs @claudeai Today, this is how the system works. Tomorrow might be another story, but it's learning and making adjustments whenever a prediction diverges > 10% from expected. 🤞

[Chad Donohue @chaddonohue]

I've been tinkering with this little stock picker (paper money) over the past few weeks (borrowed some visual ideas from @burcs) . All built on top of @claudeai skills. This runs at market open/close to train itself over time. Really neat to see this visualized.

@sanelo_ @burcs @claudeai INSIDER (10 pts)

CEO/CFO buy >$100k = 10
Congressional buy >$50k = 6
Insider selling = -5

They know the business. When C-suite buys with their own money, pay attention.

[Chad Donohue @chaddonohue]

@burcs @claudeai 👀 Thanks, I'll check this out. Also, many thanks for the inspiration 🙏.
