The apps I vibe-coded for my kids are featured in this fun article by Jasmine Sun, showing how when people can build apps for themselves, without needing to convince an engineer to do it for them, lots more apps get built!

I'm in @WSJ today writing about vibe-coding and home-cooked apps :)

excited about shifting to world where software is something we each create, not just consume

There are emerging technologies that could cut the energy required for air conditioning by an insane degree. You'll hear about them in a year or so

New post on public goods as the roots of private wealth.

[Laura Fingal-Surma 🚡 frontier urbanist @urbanistvc]

The abundance movement must focus on achieving tangible results, not just long-term movement building.

But how? @mbkeating puts forth a few ideas including how we can take immediate, bold action on energy security, featuring a new favorite startup @PilaEnergy.

[Michael Keating @mbkeating]

@urbanistvc @PilaEnergy Thanks for sharing! The more I think about it, the more sense @PilaEnergy makes.

Just threw in my $ for this guy. 🇺🇸

[Nathan Sage for U.S. Senate @sageforiowa]

I’m a mechanic, marine, and sports radio host, raised in a trailer park in Mason City, Iowa.

I'm fighting for a Democratic Party that people like me actually want to be a part of. I'm fighting for a country that's ruled by the people who sustain it, not the billionaire class.

I'm Nathan Sage. I'm running for US Senate. And I'm going to kick Joni Ernst's ass next November.

Public goods of all kinds are under threat. A reminder that public goods are far more valuable than private goods, and without public goods, there would be no private goods.

The @sfstandard's shaming of public school parents during drastic cuts in budget and staffing is pretty low. Our schools need all the help they can get. https://t.co/4JIGpfnzZh

Proud to be an alumnus of @Wesleyan when our president @mroth78 has the courage to speak against authoritarianism. https://t.co/0tWRV5XV8g

Now it's 2025, I'm shipping software with @Replit, strategizing and creating content with @ChatGPTapp, and being blown away every month by what this means for startup creation and financing.

Evolution of 1st rounds I have raised for my startups:
2000s: 7-figures from VCs based on a deck
2010s: 6-figures from angels based on a prototype
Early 2020s: 7-figures from angles & VCs for tokens
Late 2020s: Credit card to get to profitability?

[Michael Keating @mbkeating]

In 2022 I raised 7 figures for a decentralized electric mobility financing protocol's future tokens. We pivoted out of crypto and @hello_tempo now offers theft protection to ebike owners.

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine. History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.

@timcourtney @openthegreathwy @GreatHwyPark It’s spelled parteis

[Michael Keating @mbkeating]

If you thought @openthegreathwy was about cars speeding between the Richmond and Sloat Blvd, you’re half right…

Vote Yes on K and make @GreatHwyPark, Ocean Beach, and the Pacific Ocean YOUR backyard.

@Quan Trump still in the menu tho
