We're turning 225,000 sqft of empty warehouse into a machine that can build 3+ homes a day, 365 days out of the year.

Today marks the first step in that journey.

Omens are real. The Romans understood this.

Although many will try, the United States of America refuses to sink. We must save her.
The symbolism of sinking America's flagship on veterans day and the symbolism that she refuses to sink and gave proof through the night that she was still there

Austin would rather shutdown ambulances than not fund their ineffective and wasteful non profits
Austin is giving $2.1 million to a Seattle NGO to get landlords to rent to recently evicted people with low credit scores and criminal histories.

The NGO (called Housing Connector) lists apartments on Zillow and landlords get "$5,000 damage mitigation" and "1-month vacancy loss."

The city's criteria for choosing the org included "experience in cultural competence and racial equity."

The open secret of the homebuilding industry is that it's fueled entirely off illegal immigration - every builder in the US depends on it.

Moving homebuilding into the factory means we can boost productivity, increase wages, and know exactly who we're hiring.

We build homes for Americans by Americans.
🚨 UPDATE: Vice Chair of the South Texas Builders Association is THREATENING Stephen Miller with political destruction if he keeps up mass deportations

"If you want to continue harassing our communities?! These same communities you're now harassing will make sure you LOSE THE WHITE HOUSE!" 🤡

Of course they want their CHEAP LABOR and more FOREIGN INVADERS.

Those days are over. Ramp up worksite enforcement and let ICE hit new records daily! x.com/cspan/status/2…

has anyone found a good skill/prompt to prevent this? drives our engineers mad
Every model ever still seems to do this and it drives me insane but it’s even worse when you spot it in a real app or website, as if someone looked at this and said, yeah that’s good

sometimes data center build out doesn't feel real and then you call united rentals and they say they don't have any mobile camera towers in the entire state of texas because they're all allocated to data centers and you realize... oh.

Past a certain point a man starts to dream about purchasing a warehouse or perhaps a hangar. Some kind of commercial real estate for a business he hasn't quite conceived of yet

this is one of those things that looks easy but has a hell of a learning curve and entire machine industry supporting it for good reason
Claude Code can design furniture part by part and then give you a bill of materials to order each part and put it together yourself

And way cheaper than big interior brands sell you their furniture

Furnishing my house I discovered how absolutely insane prices are for the most ut together with a fancy brand tied to it

One shop had a sofa for $30,000 😂

I think with Opus 5.5 and other models easily operating 3d programs like Blender and FreeCAD (both free) it makes more sense to cut out the middle man and go straight to suppliers and design and build your own furniture

Which in a way makes customers more powerful (they can get exactly what they want and usually for cheaper without the markup)

Anyway @theannalux designed this table from scratch, she's not a furniture designer, not a coder, she just had an idea of a style and worked with Claude Code in the terminal (far superior to the app I will keep saying this)

If you design your own furniture and buy the raw materials directly, you can save 85% compared to premium brands like Poliform

That means the $30,000 sofa becomes $4,500! And the $8,000 dinner table becomes just $1,200!

You can see where the idea comes from that AI will make everything 5x to 20x cheaper, and it's already starting!

One thing people don't realize about our business is that we're turning homebuilding from a backbreaking race-to-the-bottom game of labor to a high productivity modern manufacturing environment.

High productivity = high wages & more gets done
they're running with this messaging again

I know where this goes. no, we're not doing that

let wages rise in accordance with the free market and these positions will get filled

it's actually so over for waymo, uber and lyft.
And the next milestone came pretty quickly. Robotaxi is now serving in as many cities as Waymo. Also more than double the area.

robotaxi has almost completely replaced uber for me, its great, absolutely amazing product

just wish they would allow it for item courier now
The price delta isn’t this crazy all the time, but man it’s so nice having Robotaxi be faster and cheaper

I haven’t used Uber/Waymo in a while now and really never want to again while it’s still on the Uber app

if you care about statistics you’re not going to make it
88% of VC-backed founders who exited their companies got $0. Eduardo Azevedo and Kent Smetters analysed 157,669 startups and 248,454 founders from 1987 to 2025.

Let that sink in...
