@skuld009 @gardnersmitha @cursor_ai Not sure what was going on. The update from v3.24 to v3.27 kept on failing. Decided to wipe it and install fresh.

@Eric_Schmitt I think we figured out who the dirt bag is

@BJDelGrande @claudeai @bot Just pinged @majavoje as well https://t.co/M4PNu9JRmJ

[David Chang @changds]

Having a magical experience moving a bunch of tasks from @claudeai to @bot, but whoa - it's expensive as hell.

[David Chang @changds]

@BJDelGrande @claudeai @bot 10x. Burned through a month's credits in 2 days.

[David Chang @changds]

Might have to switch back to stickybeaking...

[Krista Letz @kristaletz]

It's been really fun leveraging @bot for GTM! Have spent a few weeks iterating on some of my workflows, so I wanted to share how I use Grok Bot at SpaceXAI. https://t.co/DDTwqa1UhI

@film_girl The Duo has so many asymmetries it hurts

[Dudes Posting Their W’s @DudespostingWs]

The Miami Marlins had “Bring Your Pup to the Park” day and one dog got caught on TV casually enjoying a hot dog, while the dog behind him stared like he was witnessing the greatest injustice of his life

[David Chang @changds]

@NWischoff This can't be a healthy signal

[David Chang @changds]

So much stickybeaking

Today's meeting tools give you a transcript, but nobody tells you how you did. I'm so excited to announce Work Coach (a new mac meetings app).

Work Coach helps you by:
- Observing you in meetings (interviews, 1:1s, sales calls, team meetings)
- Analyzing how you show up to those meetings
- Identifying opportunities to improve
- Replaying the exact moments from your meetings where it happened
- Role play conversations (intros in an interview, asking for a raise, etc)
- Interviewing your coworkers to get feedback that you're not getting

I'll put the download link below.

Love using @Apple MacOS, but 24GB of RAM on a MacBook Air isn't enough for daily tasks. Could easily use double the RAM.

Talk about the way back machine. I just reconnected with Behzad Mansouri at #DealmakersBoston - it took us a few minutes to remember, but realized we went to the same high school and were on the tennis 🎾 team together - almost 40 years ago 🤯

Quick poll for customer-facing roles (sales, BD, GTM, success, etc.): how do you use AI assistants like ChatGPT or Claude?
1. Chat/Q&A only
2. With built-in connectors (Google Drive, Slack, etc.)
3. With custom integrations / MCP servers
4. Don't use AI tools in my daily workflow
