🥹 - y'all are the best!
I'll add that to my workflow...
A $12K roof. A $9K HVAC install. A $5K plumbing repipe. All lost to voicemail. Cactus is the 24/7 call center for home service companies. Every call answered. Every job booked. #NeverMissAJob
Recently started using @OmarchyLinux by @dhh - massively underrated. One of my favorite things: it FORCES FOCUS! 🎯 Want to open a new window or app to "just check something?" Too bad, it has to fit into one of your tiles. It's is not a canvas, it's a purposeful UI.
Someone help me pick - RubyLLM by @paolino or ActiveAgents by @TonsOfFun111 😭
Super excited for this ❤️
Sometimes you got to do what you got to do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - LETS GO 🚀 @itsajith747 @jonathanfrias99
. @itsajith747 and I are glad to have @jonathanfrias99 on the team from early on! 🙌 If you are AI + @rails, hit us up - would love to chat!

"Let's cut scope, not quality" - @avinashjoshi :)
The irony of Silicon Valley: SF/Bay Area is the global tech & startup hub... Yet fiber internet options are almost nonexistent! Only one provider in my city, and the tech said, "I'm not sure if we can set it up for you." Tweeting this from my 1 GIG ↑/↓ fiber connection. 🚀
Outright daylight robbery by @SlackHQ. You need to pay for slack to even access a connected channel - hosting side paying isn't enough. On the other hand @basecamp by @37signals is so simple - the organization hosting the project pays, and contractors and guests access for free!
I've got over 500+ inbounds from people seeking roles. Not a single one of them is from Rails, which is what we are building Cactus on. Only reach out if 1. You are a top 1% rails engineer 2. In SF or ready to relocate (happy to sponsor visa) 3. Open to a fully paid trial
Stranger: "How old is your son?" Me: "Let’s hear it from him" Twinkle in his eyes 🤩 melts my heart. I don't answer for my kids, and this builds their confidence. The conversations that continue are beautiful! Atomic habits. Do you let your kids answer for themselves too?
Ditto!!!!
Marry her. Have kids. Start a company.
POV: Day of a life as a solopreneur. lol
At the end of our stream, we hosted a lightning round. Each founder gets to pitch their company for 1-5 mins (in order): - @marcus1storm and Alex, @clarm_ai (Perplexity for internal docs) - @itsajith747 and @avinashjoshi, @oncactusai (AI co-pilot for solopreneurs) - Eshani…
