    Dude, cool. So are you cutting the wood pieces with the CNC and then staining them yourself? Where do the designs come from? Mostly free, the client, or you? Pretty nice looking product. Have you considered trying to flat-pack any of this stuff?

    2 failures, 1 success: My Onramp into the Fastlane

    NOTABLE! HOT! 
    20-MONTH UPDATE: I've had some heartbreaking failures and major successes over the past 20 months or so. Right after my last update here, we kicked off a big job (big for us is $2.7mm). We ended up hauling over a mil in profit. Over the next 6 months we bled nearly all of it out waiting on...

    1 YEAR UPDATE on this: Basically the direction I've been going is that I use Cursor to build out software that is internal to my company. The software has a built-in chatbot (using Opus 4.6), and I add agent skills to it as the needs arise. Right now it does chat, RAG, image gen. Currently...

    How different is the market for higher end materials, like carbon fiber, or better yet additive metal?

    Figuring Out LinkedIn (Sales, Prospecting, More)

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    It feels extremely bot heavy at this point. And I know I'm only spotting the super obvious AI slop.

    https://www.suna.so/ I'm getting ready to try the self-hosted version of this later on in the week. Will let y'all know how it goes. Basic jist is that it's an open-source AI agent. They make money by offering could hosted paid versions so you don't have to fool with the open source. I'll test...

    Does making SaaS nowadays violates the commandment of entry?

    SAAS / APPS 
    As others have said, distribution and brand become the moat. Also, some apps are much more complicated than these bullshit trinkets that people are 'vibe coding'. Big big opportunity in the next 24 months in industrial software. Much of it is old and the purveyors are bloated and comfy. I just...

    Passive Monthly / Quarterly Income: My Favorite Money System Assets...

    GOLD! INVESTING 
    One thing to be aware of on these funds is that they are super for income, but they don't appreciate the way the index does. So, generally you are trading your time managing options, and risk that you'll screw it up for long term appreciation. Neither is wrong or right, just depends on what you...

    Passive Monthly / Quarterly Income: My Favorite Money System Assets...

    GOLD! INVESTING 
    I have a dual strategy. I hold individual stocks that are bulletproof... like OKE, CVX, WM, SO, etc. I also own index funds like QQQ and VOO. I sell covered calls against those to generate income. Only rough thing is that you need to own 100 shares to sell covered calls. So for something like...

    Having not yet dug into it super deeply, I believe it might be possible to create "user defined functions" to extend this chatbot into a true agent. https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/function-calling?lang=python My current digging shows that I need to look at OpenAI's Assistants...

    I'm going to start with Baby's First AI Agent. My goal is to create an MS teams persona that my employees can ask questions to. It will respond based on the engineering books and codes that it has. We already have a chatbot that is similar, but nobody uses it. It appears easy enough on the MS...

    H1B Work Visas... Good Business Practice or Slave Labor?

    TAXES | REGS 
    I'm now going to refute your post in its entirety. 1. 583k of 64M is in fact 0.9%, or nearly 1%, roughly 100X greater than what you suggested. 2. The idea that there are 64M STEM workers in the US is comical. The US Census Bureau claims 10.9M. 3. Your logic does not work. If the H1B number is...

    No, but I'm looking into it now. Great point. The starting point for any successful engineering solution, or well-made app. I will do this over the next few weeks. I'm blown away by the response and really glad I asked it. I actually asked it on X first... crickets. What a sewer. Yes! Except...

    H1B Work Visas... Good Business Practice or Slave Labor?

    TAXES | REGS 
    You are correct. It is not the business community's job. It is the governments job to make sure society is properly balanced. Now, that might include a reordering of systems that directly affect the biz community.... such as the H1B program.
