@Camp4 Couldn't agree more!

My "peak" is just on a mnt bike trail or a trout stream, but the feeling is the same. Money, accolades, success (all super fun) -- but nothing beats memorable experiences (outside) with people you love.

The rest of it is just a means to get there.

[Matt Johnson @mcjohnson]

It used to be that the value you got from software was roughly proportional to the time you spent in it. AI Agents flip this on its head. Now the big opportunities are when you can have the largest ratio possible between value generated and time spent in the software.

@businessbarista Have been using EOS to run co's since 2010 - total game changer. We've been using the same tools to help our family since 2016. Life changing decision.

Pretty impactful to think intentionally about the longterm, write down the path to get there, and stay accountable abl

This @drewholcomb song is an absolute stunner.. especially for any parents of younger kids.

I'm not crying, you're crying.

Amazing writing Drew, kudos.

@smburns @CityMinneapolis It's such a treasure!! Perfect day to enjoy it

[Matt Johnson @mcjohnson]

@ankurnagpal Looks like a lot of great info.. and much of which I've had to find via pieces and parts. Would love to see it all in one spot :)

[Matt Johnson @mcjohnson]

@blader Have been on so many teams where this was an issue.. scaling startups, 60person services co, 2500 person org with $1B in rev. All great companies, all had great finance teams..

None were this simple, fast and helpful.

Kudos to solving a real problem (also, killer video)

@johnnyrodgersis Had 2 boxers with bad GI issues for years.. switched to a mix of raw/cooked chicken with added supplements) from Woody's Pet Deli in Minneapolis (https://t.co/Dp6mLe8dCc) and had great luck for 4-5 years. Most stomach issues resolved, happy / hungry pups.

Minnesota is ready for you, basketball fans! 🏀 Let's go, @Timberwolves! 🐺

[Midwest vs. The Rest @midwestern_ope]

as a midwesterner, shorts and hoodie weather is a very spiritual time. we are thriving. living our best life, if you will.

[Matt Johnson @mcjohnson]

@Camp4 Really really great work @Camp4 and team! Refreshing to see somebody transforming a stale industry, it needs it!

[Matt Johnson @mcjohnson]

AI songwriting and music making tools are amazing.. I've played with @suno_ai_ enough to be totally blown away.

BUT, they will never give me the gratification or feeling that writing a song (from my head) does.. and/or the feeling I get when playing it with other real humans 🎸

[Matt Johnson @mcjohnson]

@bryce As a former senior exec for a few thousand person consulting co.. I couldn't agree more with this perspective. Thanks for the share.

[Matt Johnson @mcjohnson]

@SemisonicBand Like them all.. but this one will always be my fav.

[Matt Johnson @mcjohnson]

@tobi It's a magical tool.. but as a songwriter/performer (that's also spent 20+ years in tech), it makes me both excited and sad..

Songwriting is magic - and this makes it more accessible to more ppl (good).

But it's sad to see tech take even more $$ out of the creative arts...

[Matt Johnson @mcjohnson]

Simultaneously excited about the potential of A.I. -- while also eternally grateful for spending time with real humans, creating things that A.I. can't

(eg: memories, music from our brains, shared experiences).

[Matt Johnson @mcjohnson]

@gregisenberg More of this stuff!

Hard to argue with any of them..

The $/vote numbers are totally insane.

[Matt Johnson @mcjohnson]

Who's building the verification platform where real humans can (a) verify something is actually them, and (b) prove that it was created by humans?

In the future, I want to know when ppl like @JasonIsbell actually wrote a song and played/recorded it - and verify it's not fake.

[omid @omidaziz]

I built a mobile app that generates short episodes of popular shows, starting with @theallinpod.

Prompt: @DavidSacks is building a Slack competitor but won't let @Jason into the round. @friedberg gets lost in his Vision Pro. @chamath spills wine on his new sweater.

As much as I've been frustrated by the state of the internet lately, today is not one of those days.

Spending the day remote drum tracking with a killer team 1/2 way across the US, making a new record.

Using the internet to make great art, with real humans. #goodday
