The ideas, the imagination, start here. The code will get solved, if you're patient, and willing to Q/A...

Okay back to the rock.

Target a SaaS company with 1000 to 5000 people that is earning 100million+ annually. Study their product. Rebuild their product by yourself. Anyone who says you can't do it will be the fuel to this fire. I've owned this fuel for ten years, drawings in every notebook of the same app. Start here.

LET ME HELP YOU WITH AI...
a small majority of the human population is using AI to write software, in the future the "average" person will be doing this too. This is a small window of opportunity to get really far ahead of the average technical person. This is the start of a bell shape wave.

LET ME HELP YOU WITH AI...
if it's not writing you thousands of lines of code, you're waiting until it's too late to dig into the weeds. steer clear of "monoliths" and start heading towards micro services. It stopped working because you're not using enough micro services. Also, ai can get off course

These SaaS companies are eating themselves alive, layoff after layoff. Remember when we used to label ourselves based on the software we used...

Then all those software companies decided to make it all about removing you from the picture. That was a good time.

Today(), that time is gone.

While i've connected with them, I've created relationships with people who have inspired me to keep going.

ten years ago, a friend showed me about wordpress. since then I've learned SEO, web dev, design, theory of color, data science, machine learning, LLMs, computer vision, data engineering with python and nodejs... mostly though i learned about building an online business that connects with humans.

As I continue down this path my life is improving. Just hopeful more people will join this grind. Not every day you need to push to github, many days it's safe to say you can just go nuts local. Many days went by I was doing the same. But now I'm fascinated by web applications and ci/cd.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ af

Tableau, Alteryx… We had some fun, didn’t we. But you didn’t keep me around long enough.

this is what i do... #alteryx, and #tableau, it was fun while it lasted. but i'm moving on.

TECHNOLOGY = not creative
YOU are

LET ME HELP YOU WITH AI...
md files are like the pre-training, vs 'HEY BRO EAT THIS BIG FILE AND LIKE UNDERSTAND ALGORITHMS'

But failure is not avoidable in computers, you must learn to enjoy failure... So i spend a lot of time trying to create software that helps me fail faster and more iteratively, in a domain/space that isn't monetizing my time to create products with my meta data.

It's thoughts like these that drive me to explain the value of creating lasting opportunities with my children. The importance of continual practice, relentless struggle, and then, the ability to see mistakes as positive forward motion...

In a reality where mistakes are explained as "to be avoided"

What they don't tell you is how fast you're going to do it and how long it's going to take to earn $. When I first started on a computer, money was never a consideration... That was because I don't think i really understood the value of money until I earned it myself...

I used to focus on an area in data that many people are only good at a certain percentage. My idea, "okay I'll focus on 100%" and later learned this is impossible up front, but if you put in the work, it's possible to be good from end-to-end, then you progress to full-stack engineering..

I've been really head down lately because all the software I've created this year and released for free has gained the eyes of people who believe in me. That's a special thing because I'm just a person who was born and raised in New Llano, Louisiana and hustled to be good in tech.

in the past when ive added multi player to my figjam recreation, i quickly learned the hard way that you're not supposed to add multiplayer to your software at the beginning unless you're very interested in balancing multiple levels of difficulty.

maybe ill be more ready for it in the future

some really cool happens with the google edge ai, it enabled me to access a mutli player ux without creating multiplayer which as you know is websockets, and from my perspective two mindsets of development. i will add multiplayer, but more at the end of the tube. it's too early right now.

Some cool features ive been working on
1. github Oauth
2. reverse engineering upsert, append, rewrite to improve ux on writing to db
- added notifications to explain how writing works
3. adding data analytics library i built earlier this year
4. using google edge ai to offer multi ux for engineers

Added new nodes to my #ETL #software which now is a #data #visualization software, which really makes me re-think this entire "ETL" terminology.
1. math, yes just math 1+1
([Column]+[Column])*.2
2. neon input, write to neon lake
- lets you begin reading tables in serverless #PostgreSQL
.. and more

context aware notificationsssssssssssssssssssssssssss

my am
05:35 Cosmetic collapse is UI-only
05:50 UI-only saves skip output flushing
06:10 Centralized downstream recompute helper
06:25 Idempotent autosave for X
06:40 Processed-first preview
06:55 Same-mode selection is a no-op
07:05 X saves are UI-only
07:20 Mode-aware notifications; toast parity.

hi low world!

If I could findreplace() everyone using the word AI, when we all know it should be LLM, I think we would really lower the tempo/hype on this craze that #ai is here and in this spaghetti sub. But that's not possible. I prefer a person who knows this is the deep end and they are tiny fish in an ocean.

I love databases. I have a home because I do.
I made a family because I'm good.

However data types... I'm not sold. This can be assumed and inferred. If data is that dirty, I don't think data types is the problem at this point. ETL has taught me these things a necessary evil.

10+ years ago I drove from Austin to Dallas and showed my friend from college a pencil/paper sketch. He said, "this is a great idea, but we need funding."

10 years later, I build all of it by myself, we did our first code review..

Creating a #datavisualization #ETL software w/ a #javascript engine

#AI is patch work in modern #SaaS companies because the suggestion to bring it together was never considered due to the SKUs being individually sold. For many SaaS companies, AI isn't compatible, and used like tape. So.. at best it's basic & gimmicky.

biggest scare to big SaaS is now small teams.

im really blowing up on here.

I was looking for orange and then I found this picture of orange. Thanks catcher of dreams. Great book that.
