My talented wife painted this portrait of our son @jordanravimusic to celebrate him releasing his new single “February 14th”. Enjoy the time lapse and the song…


I've been off all social media for a few months while dealing with a very heavy event in my personal life. I myself am fine, but today marks a major milestone for a loved one, and I feel the need for some positive thoughts to get me through the waiting and not knowing...


In 35+ years of coding - Every single time I built an add on with another vendor as the underlying platform, it was killed by the vendor either changing their offering or going out of business. Every. Single. Time. Integrations are fine, but build something standalone.

AI startups building on GPT realizing that new GPT basically replaces their product offering.

One important thing I have learned while building a startup: People can impress you by being 'book smart' when it comes to marketing, design and programming... But the people who get results are the ones who are 'street smart' and have proven real world experience in the above.


Having another one of those days where I am looking at code in my app that I wrote 2 years ago (according to Git logs), but I have absolutely NO recollection of ever having written it, nor do I have any idea what it does or how it does it... #coderlife


My first meeting for today is scheduled for 8pm tonight, so I decided to have an impromptu meeting with life at this particular boardroom during the day… Looks like everyone else was too busy to attend!

As a startup, MRR/ARR etc. are great, but one of the greatest feelings of accomplishment for me this month was seeing our first Customer Success hire 4 years ago grow into a fantastic Product Manager with us now. It's quite wonderful to see someone's career progress like this!


It's 2023, and it still takes a minimum of 4 mouse clicks across two browser tabs to print a PDF attachment within GMail... 🙄 (6 clicks if you count closing down the extra tab and the PDF preview pane)...


It's rare that AI tools make me go "Wow!", but we've been using @tldview for our Zoom product meetings, and the email summary it generates within *seconds* of the meeting finishing has always blown our socks off, and been incredibly useful for the rest of the team...

A negative customer interaction on Friday left me feeling down, but then I woke up to this flood of Stripe notifications in my Inbox this morning and felt grateful for how far we've come... I remember only getting one or two of these per month in the early days!

Same reason I like meeting vendors / colleagues / customers in cafes or restaurants. I get to see if they thank the wait staff as an indicator of whether I will spend the energy to have long term dealings with them...

The one interview question we should be asking: Do you say "thank you" when someone holds a door for you? Why? I don't want to work with anyone who doesn't.



It’s Friday 5pm… time to down tools and crank up some noise…
