@AlexanderTw33ts Can you add operating hours and a reliability score?

[David Lee @divarnold]

@emanuel_build Was it? I just have a cron job for the early morning so I didn't notice.

[David Lee @divarnold]

First time using Github Actions today, look forward to automating more.

The reality of having AI Agents instead of looking for employees got more real to me.

2026 is going to be a great year.

If all security cameras could detect loitering and transients on private property, then routed notifications/calls to non-emergency dispatch -> would cities be better off?

Anyone want to co-work with me @OnTogetherGame ?

There should exist a credit card that gives insane rewards for token spend.

Bridgit Mendler is proof that you really can do anything if you put your mind to it

[David Lee @divarnold]

Entrepreneurs always contribute to society.
But building real businesses and then transferring that execution mindset to government and the military?
That’s rare.

This guy was a serial entrepreneur turned military leader.

His love and admiration for his country, expressed through the willingness to fight for it and put everything on the line, is genuinely admirable.

The next 3 months will give me the best signal in my life. Either I am able to shed my past self or I fall depths in an infinite cycle. There is no in-between.

[David Lee @divarnold]

The biggest obstacle for first-timers is NOT your competition. It's yourself. Ensure that you are structuring your life to enable progress. If it means shedding your old self, so be it. Anything that will give you that marginal edge in overcoming the biggest obstacle: yourself.

Gyms should list what type of equipment they have... that way I can prompt AI to make me a tailored workout plan suitable for my gym.

[David Lee @divarnold]

Instead of prompting step-by-step instructions, if you want exact SOPs to be followed 100% of the time (i.e., workflows) consider LangGraph for your orchestration layer.

[David Lee @divarnold]

Anyone have experience hiring full time non-US remote workers to watch security cameras and call police on unusual activity? Is there a cheaper method?

[David Lee @divarnold]

I built a browser-based PDF merger because I was tired of:

- Merging 10+ docs manually every month
- Sketchy web tools that might save my data
- Online mergers missing the features I needed

So I made my own: open-source, runs 100% in your browser, works offline. Your files never leave your device.

This year, I'll be shipping like crazy. Any idea I come up with in my Area of Interest will be made.

Refreshing take.

YC Startup School Day 2:

"Why you should leave your FAANG Job"
I'm not in a FAANG job, probably should have skipped this one, but glad to listen to their first principles thinking of what a "big-tech" company really is.
Onto the next.
