@Docquistador This exact thing happen to this ride at Oaks Park in Portland. From the looks of it, the same failure more. But better this than the arm cracking like in Saudi Arabia.
@jrhall77@starwars We knew Vader was a badass, but in ANH he never really fought, in empire he was holding back, in RotJ he had a worthy adversary. In Attack we know Anakin slaughtered village of raiders. here, we finally saw him unleash and it was epic.
A CEO from one of our portfolio companies shared this with their team. I’m re-sharing it with their permission, because it resonated and reflects what all founders and CEOs should be communicating.

We are living through a period of compounding change. And in moments like this, the biggest risk is no longer making the wrong decision. It is moving too slowly while the world moves around you.
There are two paths. We can play defense:
- Protect what we have
- Optimize what works
- Wait for clarity
It feels safe. It isn’t.
Or we can play offense:
- Learn faster than the environment changes
- Use new tools to solve old problems in better ways
- And create entirely new strategies and businesses
That’s where the opportunity is.
Challenge yourself to do things faster and better than you have ever attempted. Stay uncomfortable. Stay on the front foot.
@brian_scanlan Please post a video somewhere! I work at procore and we have a large rails monolith and are grappling with how to use claude in a giant rails app.
I know this has already been said a million different ways, but it's increasingly clear that playing it safe with your career right now is the riskiest thing you can do.
I’ll say it again. So many of the less than obvious papers about LLMs are equally true of humans. It’s why I don’t ask “why” questions… it invites a story rationalizing the action. Brain scans clearly show decisions happen long before the rationalization.
Part of the challenge is that tech leadership came from the old world and it’s clear they’re grasping to understand the new, and trying to simply map the two. Prediction: old companies/leadership will fail, and replaced my AI native companies and the leaders who built them.
Atlassian’s layoffs underline a wider problem: once AI is part of the explanation, every word in a restructuring memo carries more weight. The issue is no longer only headcount. It is whether leadership language sounds honest, precise, and credible. https://t.co/4v6ZAS7cKs

AI means people need to stop thinking so much about what their boss wants
They need to start thinking much much more about what customers want
And that will make a big difference in society: too much of it is caring about Keynesian beauty contests and other such contests that are disconnected from the direct needs of others
Less dead weight loss. More actually helping people.
@TexasScorecard@grok if Texas is wanting to ban sharia law, how much is it active in Texas and how often does it have judgements not in line with existing local, state or national law? How much is this even a problem?
@MrEwanMorrison No it’s not pointless. I have been wishing the progress would just stop here because we have a decade of progress ahead of us with today’s LLMs and learning to use them well.
