@PeterJThomson Was thinking the same

[Campbell Yule @ctyule]

My long time friend @PeterJThomson had some "free" time over the summer to create some great apps.

More interesting for the fact that when I first met Peter he has just transitioned from Lawyer to Brand Strategist...

[Peter Thomson @PeterJThomson]

We're conservative with our use of AI at my day job. So over summer I used Claude Code to build a few side projects:
Year View Planner: https://t.co/rjeQA1uXox
Markdown Editor for Mac:
https://t.co/5ggTKArhFt
Modern Code Source Control for Mac:
https://t.co/DYZTQUv56a

Importantly, each one was built in a different software language from what I normally use. They're all "hand crafted" but I didn't type any of the code.

@de_henne @ProductHunt Our free version provides the core functionality which I believe offers a lot of value

[Campbell Yule @ctyule]

@_avdept @de_henne @ProductHunt I’m all for remote teams having online ‘coffee meetings’ for the social aspects as they are important

[Campbell Yule @ctyule]

@_avdept @de_henne @ProductHunt It’s not that all meetings are bad or inefficient but those for the sake of it lead to the situation @de_henne mentions above

Stand ups that result in 80% of people waiting around while 2 people go deep into detail are those I think can be more productive async

Run your team without running meetings

👉 Replace recurring meetings with structured asynchronous check-ins.

👉 Create predictable communication rhythms for your team.

A great acquisition story and a great New Zealand success story

$RKLB Rocket Lab’s 7 Acquisitions: Building the "Amazon of Space" ♟️🚀

I’ve spent the last few days dissecting the history of Rocket Lab ($RKLB), and the realization is staggering. Peter Beck isn’t just building rockets; he is following the Jeff Bezos Playbook: use strategic acquisitions to own the entire infrastructure of an industry.

Just as Amazon acquired Kiva Systems for robotics and Whole Foods for physical reach, Rocket Lab has executed 7 strategic moves to control the Bill of Materials (BOM) for the entire space economy.

🧐 The 7 Pieces of the Empire: A Portfolio of Dominance

The "Eyes & Balance" (2020) - Sinclair Interplanetary:
Acquired the world leader in reaction wheels and star trackers. Every satellite needs these to point and navigate.

The "Brain" (2021) - Advanced Solutions, Inc. (ASI):
Acquired the masters of off-the-shelf space software and GNC (Guidance, Navigation, and Control). They provided the "Operating System" for the Photon platform.

The "Ejection Seat" (2021) - Planetary Systems Corp (PSC):
Acquired the gold standard in satellite separation systems. They have a 100% success record across 100+ missions.

The "Heart/Power" (2022) - SolAero Technologies:
The biggest move yet. Acquired one of the world's leading producers of high-efficiency space solar cells. Absolute energy independence for every RKLB mission.

The "Infrastructure" (2023) - Virgin Orbit Factory:
Not a company acquisition, but a genius asset buyout. Beck secured 144,000 sq ft of world-class manufacturing space and machinery for pennies on the dollar to accelerate the Neutron rocket.

The "Senses" (2025) - Geost:
A massive $275M deal for elite EO/IR (Electro-Optical/Infrared) sensor capabilities. RKLB can now build the "cameras" for missile tracking and reconnaissance.

The "Nervous System" (2025 - Pending Approval) - Mynaric:
The final piece of the puzzle. Laser communication terminals for inter-satellite links. Note: Currently clearing German regulatory hurdles (BMWK). Once complete, RKLB owns the space-based internet mesh.

The Strategic Result: The End-to-End PowerhouseRocket Lab now controls ~90% of its own supply chain. While competitors wait 18 months for parts, Peter Beck simply walks downstairs to his own factories.

With BlueBird 6 successfully in orbit for ASTS today (featuring that game-changing ASIC chip), we are seeing the dawn of new technology. But for Rocket Lab, the "Amazon Era" of space—where one company owns the truck, the cargo, and the delivery route—is already here.

If you resonate with the long-term value of this "one-stop" vertical integration strategy, please Like and Retweet😊😊.Thanks for your support! 🙏

Having followed the development of Fizzy I’ve been inspired to develop an app that re-solves a solved problem too. Coming soon… though might be delayed now that I can explore the Fizzy code-base! Think I’ll lose some hours exploring!

@Beelinkofficial arrived, a few bios updates and a 3m44s @OmarchyLinux install and we’re all good to go!
