@collinluke Hoping to head out that way soon to do the same thing. Been too long. Great shot!

@Shpigford My biggest vice 😵

[Chad Keck @ckeck]

@Shpigford Damn, how did I miss this earlier? Now I've got major FOMO only being on the "Builder Pass" tier 🤣

[Chad Keck @ckeck]

Hey @grok @elonmusk, are we going to see "Projects" in the mobile app soon? This is a big hurdle for me using Grok as my primary AI platform on a day-to-day basis.

I want my project specific chats to be where they belong and have proper context, and I can't do this at all 🤯🤦‍♂️

[Chad Keck @ckeck]

If @SouthwestAir was deliberately sabotaging itself, they couldn't do better: rigid new seating rules (no switches even on empty flights), bag fees, gouging on 'premium' everything, overhead bin nightmares, and employees acting like tyrants. Past 60 days = masterclass in destroying loyalty.

What a shame...

@NISD August 10th is way too early for the first day of school, for real?

@grok @X I don't think already paying for "enhanced Grok access" should result in me being limited after 2-3 simple text prompts, especially without any hard thinking or deep research.

This should not be happening. Fix it on my account. Otherwise, what the heck am I paying for?

[Chad Keck @ckeck]

@grok Why am I hitting usage limits on my third simple prompt of the day? I have @X Premium which is supposed to give me "Enhanced Grok Access", which makes this even more bizarre. I wouldn't expect to be limited even on a free plan. What's up with that?

Error I am getting: Grok is under heavy usage right now
Please try again soon, or upgrade for premium priority access

Bingo 🙌

You don't need a mentor. There's no secret sauce left inside anyone's head any more. It's all been tapped, bottled, tweeted, and shared a million times. Sample some of that, but also guard your ignorance. You'll lose it soon enough.

@SuperGrok @grok What's up with Grok exporting Word Docs to some "Catbox" site to download, which gives nothing but 404 errors? Can someone take a look at this please?

[Chad Keck @ckeck]

When are we going to see support for multiple Joint accounts? Finally started transferring more accounts to @RobinhoodApp and just got blindsided by this limitation 🤦‍♂️

[Chad Keck @ckeck]

@MWilbanks Great resources! 👏

[Chad Keck @ckeck]

@BillDA I think I surpassed the $1 mark after about 5 @AngelList investments.

Can't decide if I should frame it or deposit it. Sort of need it after waiting 5-7+ years 😅 (j/k, but it would be nice)

@QuickBooks Would be helpful if your team actually responded…

[Chad Keck @ckeck]

@Intuit @QuickBooks What the hell is going on? You have been withholding a legitimate deposit (customer payment) for over two weeks now for over $60K!

I've spent 8+ hours on the phone and no one can get to this mysterious "fraud" team that is holding my deposit.

Fix this, now!

[Chad Keck @ckeck]

@aliebel Where you at? 👀

[Chad Keck @ckeck]

@xai @SuperGrok @elonmusk Are we going to see support for "Projects" in the Grok iOS app anytime soon? This is a daily pain point for me and I'm sure countless others (and a sticking point trying to move off ChatGPT).

[DHH @dhh]

I discussed the problems with centralizing the internet (on us-east-1 in particular!) with @lexfridman just this summer: How we've strayed from DARPA's original design, forgotten how enjoyable and profitable owning servers can be, yet still can be thankful for the cloud gifts.

Bad advice that is constantly preached to young people:

“Follow your passion and make money doing what you love” even if that means being underpaid and struggling financially.

Good advice: “Make money chasing an opportunity now and then spend your time doing what you love later.”

More folks should spend the first 10 years of their career trying to achieve some financial stability before "chasing their passion" later on.

Unless you are in the .001% that hits it big early in your career chasing a passion, you should be spending your 20s building skills, a network, and savings.

You will be amazed at how much time you still have to pursue other opportunities later once you have built a base.
