Silicon Valley native. 20 years building software. AI systems for small businesses, Little League coach, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Writing about what I’m working on.

[David Bryson @dwbryson]

I bought an F-150 partly because I'd worked on the software behind its updates. That made it the most expensive software project I've ever worked on.

I've spent 20 years building software. I was one of two engineering leads on the team behind Ford's over-the-air update system. Before that, I worked on decryption for the first Blu-ray player.

These days, @OliverStamato and I build AI systems for small businesses, from cybersecurity firms to pharmacies.

I'll share what we're building, the engineering decisions behind it, and what I'm figuring out along the way. Outside work, I coach Little League and train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

@MrJDavis96 Impressive! Don’t stop.

@MehdiHacks I honestly have trouble keeping my browser tabs plus other work under 64 GB. I should’ve gone for 128.
And now that I’ve been playing around with blender it’s even worse that requires 10 GB of RAM just to get out of bed.

@ImSh4yy Absolutely, I’ve found using Sonnet 5.5 with an Opus or Fable advisor works great too for efficient token usage.

@danielcberk @crowdhealth The quality of care is going to be largely dependent on how you select a provider.
I had 3 health events the year I switched to CrowdHealth, so I went through their process multiple times!

@KatieMiller Some people have to learn the hard way. Very reminiscent of walled garden websites in the 90's and 2000's

@Polymarket Let's see how long this approach will last.

[David Bryson @dwbryson]

@sundarpichai @GoogleAIStudio YES! this is what I've been waiting for.

[David Bryson @dwbryson]

@girdley I believe the 4th turning will reverse some of these whether it's discussed or not.

@andrew_jennings I've read other posts that the leads from ChatGPT are not very good(low buyer intent). Any idea if this is true? I haven't seen OpenAI talk much about how they plan to improve the ads platform.

[David Bryson @dwbryson]

@JoeydeWit_ A few brands I looked at never did this kind of planning. "Boy I'm tired of working on this, time to sell!" was all that they did.
These guys you are talking to are smart!

[David Bryson @dwbryson]

@SMB_Attorney I'm sure there are plenty of businesses that need help doing this prep work in order to sell. Surely there are players who focus on this kind of 'get ready to sell' transformation?

@cmonkey The whiplash on this tweet is wild!

@kevinrose @Cloudflare First Buzz now Ember, I'm loving these opens source Slack replacements!

@argofowl My wife was uninterested, but my kids were very interested and want to do it themselves

[David Bryson @dwbryson]

@markgurman More or less use than the touchbar?

[David Bryson @dwbryson]

@realpeteyb123 It’s hard, I had to get filters on everything. Kids are technical enough to outsmart me yet, so I’m good for a few more years!

@kimmonismus Microsoft is incapable of repelling this kind of attack. It is Anthropics to lose.

@SawyerMerritt @Starlink it's perfect.
