@businessbarista@da_fant Couldn't agree more. I know of companies doing something like this at the enterprise level but it's only going to grow. And the need at the SMB level is probably even greater. It's something I've started to grapple with for my clients. Good take.
Thanks to @Replit , I finished a project I had been putting off - my personal site (https://t.co/cg1I2DT5H7). Generated the concept with Claude, fed it to Replit, & love the result. Took maybe 90 min total. Now using Replit to build my D4 site. Great experience - such an unlock.
Just gave a talk to 2,000 people today.
10 raised their hands; they've used agentic AI.
20% (maybe) knew what Claude was.
You are earlier than you think you are... still.
@Codie_Sanchez I hear people say I’m early, but I didn’t believe. Gave a AI talk at an industry conference 2 weeks ago - 10% are using AI in their business regularly, maybe 40% have used an LLM. About 15% had never used it - at all. So maybe I am early…
@Replit Just sent my daughter my referral link today for her to start creating, so I’ll definitely be celebrating her with this gift! Keep up the awesome work!
@businessbarista My ideal client is much smaller ($3-50M), but this list is mostly the same for them. I hear (1) Don't know where to start or where AI fits; (2) Don't have time to train; (3) We use (n) different systems or SaaS tools so it's complex; (4) Our data is all over the place; (5) Fear.
Every client and prospect interaction today was around one topic: AI.
More and more, people are asking what’s next, how do I better use the tools, and what does the future of work look like.
Love having these conversations and helping where I can.
The wave is coming…
@SahilBloom Love hiking in the Tetons - esp around Jenny Lake. I usually make it out there 2x year for a client I have in Jackson. Nothing like it for your mind, body and soul.
The AI Conference this week in San Francisco was amazing. Place was packed. Great energy. Big themes: Get your data ready; Agents are here; and even experts in the industry acknowledge everything is moving so fast.
@SahilBloom Great visualization and reminder. I remember when we drove away from the hospital with our first daughter after she was born. I told my wife, “As of today we only have 18 years left.” She rolled her eyes, but I knew it was true. Cherish every day. They go quickly.
@scottmelker Great article and analysis. And for sniffing out the language that seems suspicious. I agree with your reco - keep it simple and invest in real assets.
When it's time to work, work.
When it's time to rest, rest.
Most people are always thinking about rest while working and work while resting.
An empty life is one lived in your head.
@amasad I started with Replit at 57 and I’m loving it. Four apps already developed or in the works. I was an IT director years ago managing developers but never learned to code. That background plus Replit is incredibly empowering for me today. Thanks for your vision and product!
@SahilBloom Great list - great visuals. I often refer to this skill as living within the tensions of life. Those places where it appears we face an impossible choice or the temptation to quit. The best things are on the other side of what looks impossible.
