What if simply sitting in a sauna could supercharge the benefits of exercise?

Dr. Jari Laukkanen’s research shows that people who exercise and use the sauna have lower a all-cause mortality than those who only exercise

Even more compelling? Studies reveal that adding sauna sessions to aerobic exercise boosts cardiorespiratory fitness beyond exercise alone

The optimal dose: At least two sessions per week for benefits, with four or more linked to a staggering 40–50% drop in cardiovascular and all-cause mortality

And the best part? You don’t need extreme heat—just 175°F for 20 minutes is enough to unlock powerful benefits

The best $34 I’ve ever made. Actually in shock someone paid me $ for software I built. Have dreamt of this moment for years. Not a big deal to most but a big one to me and I’m fuckin stoked on it.

Thought it’d be cool to create a slideshow narrated by an LLM based on photos of my wife and I. Then had to go one step further to have it rhyme. Check it out.

My chrome extension just hit 1000 users! Here is a photo of the progression.

Still haven't done much other than post on reddit. I likely will look into SEO once I get my paid plan out which is coming very soon!

Next stop 5k!

Scrape any website in minutes for free with the help of claude. Checkout how I did it for Zillow in this video.

[Tom Branconier @tombranc]

Great idea

[Michael Branconier @mike_branc]

Did it!

I built a calculator that attempts to determine the true cost of going to college. Watch to learn more.

Let me know if anything seems wrong or if you have feedback!

Shout out to @marclou for pushing me to build this.

I just got married this weekend and it was the best weekend of my life. I don’t think I’d realize how amazing it would be. I was surrounded by people who love me, at a place I love, to celebrate my marriage to the person I love the most. Just so much love and beauty everywhere. It put so much into perspective and helped me realize what perfect looks like in real life. Literally tearing up writing this it was just so beautiful and I’m so grateful for life.

Lately I’ve been super fascinated with taking unstructured data and structuring it with the help of LLMs. I’ve found AWS textract and instructor to be a powerful way to do this.

Check out this demo I built that extracts consistent structured output from invoices.

I’m happy as long as I can learn, love, and create.

OpenAI’s vision API is awesome. I just built a web app that takes in an image and a brief description of a property and generates a listing description like a realtor!

I’d like to thank everyone at San Diego State for allowing me to play for my hometown team and graduate from a great university. I am entering the transfer portal as a grad transfer with 2 years of eligibility remaining.

I just built my first chrome extension! You can use it to export Zillow search results as a csv and shows you the average and median price of an area!
