@BasedMikeLee Spirit’s failure had nothing to do with the high price of jet fuel because of Trump’s war with Iran?
Quick blaming someone else and look at your party. You’re in charge.
@Okla_Hombre It really doesn't matter if you're right or wrong; you're just rude based on your replies to comments. Do you really need to use "fucktard", "moron", "retard", and "fucking moron" to defend your point? If it's such a solid point, just keep it professional.
I keep having the same conversations as why Claude is different, so I wrote an article: WHY CLAUDE IS DIFFERENT — AND WHY BUSINESS SURVIVAL DEPENDS ON IT https://t.co/DN8sLkjcoJ via @LinkedIn
I know Silicon Valley startups don't want to hear this.....
But the combination of someone in the trades with deep domain expertise and Claude Code will run circles around your generic software.
I talked to Cory LaChance this morning, a mechanical engineer in industrial piping construction in Houston. He normally works with chemical plants and refineries, but now he also works with the terminal
He reached out in a DM a few days ago and I was so fired up by his story, I asked him if we could record the conversation and share it.
He built a full application that industrial contractors are using every day. It reads piping isometric drawings and automatically extracts every weld count, every material spec, every commodity code.
Work that took 10 minutes per drawing now takes 60 seconds. It can do 100 drawings in five minutes, saving days of time.
His co-workers are all mind blown, and when he talks to them, it's like they are speaking different languages.
His fabrication shop uses it daily, and he built the entire thing in 8 weeks. During those 8 weeks he also had to learn everything about Claude Code, the terminal, VS Code, everything.
My favorite quote from him was when he said, "I literally did this with zero outside help other than the AI. My favorite tools are screenshots, step by step instructions and asking Claude to explain things like I'm five."
Every trades worker with deep expertise and a willingness to sit down with Claude Code for a few weekends is now a potential software founder.
I can't wait to meet more people like Cory.
@agazdecki That graph is based on data almost 30 years old. Go pull some recent data. I think Verne Harnish made a career on that fictitious chart. The mere fact that it doesn't take into account gross margin versus revenue should tell you something.
@ScottPresler I still can't believe we have to explain this... If you accept your premise that other countries are ripping it off, how is making American consumers pay more hurt them?
@alexbruesewitz They didn't say you couldn't use tariffs, just do it legally, as the way our system was intended, by involving the Legislative branch. Considering Republicans control the Senate and the House, I don't understand the faux outrage.
