7 years as Co-Founder & CTO OdeCloud

Built remote teams across 6 continents, scaled systems used by Fortune 500s, and somehow kept it fun.

@bhalligan I'm a product of Asian parenting. I rather hear people shout into my ear unkind truth rather than untruthful praises everyday.

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI.

AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

@codeonsunday @NapierHolland So much this. People try to act like I was inspired to become rich; nah, I just didn't want to be poor ever again. I want to be as far away from that as possible.

"Pay us to display your own reviews" is peak predatory pricing.

Same energy as SaaS vendors hiding pricing behind demos. They know the moment you see the number, you'll build it yourself or find an alternative.

Transparency threat > customer service. That's why I built https://t.co/iJfh2OxGE4.

@azizbekxm @levelsio Free plans are VC subsidies, not business models.

Bootstrapped companies can't afford to support infinite free users hoping 2% convert. The math doesn't work.

Better: free trial -> paid. Eliminates tire-kickers, focuses on people who actually see value. This is the way.
