@cruise @Waymo 2024 and likely into 2025 San Francisco Cruise Ship activity appears to be picking up - @SFPort "Hosted 365,000 cruise passengers on the waterfront, which is the second highest year of passengers on record."

@cruise Cruise wasn't meant to be, but @Waymo continues to be prevalent in the city. Observations of general conversations about San Francisco have trended toward positive optimism. We likely crossed into more positive territory earlier in 2025, but perceptions are slower to change.

Stelo @dexcom (Consumer CGM Health Device) facing shortages, suspicions that @ouraring recent integration/campaign is contributing to shortages. Prediction: CGMs will become more mainstream in health tracking in next few years, despite initial slower-than-anticipated adoption

Thesis: #SanFrancisco could see regeneration and renewed optimism helped by @cruise bridging the transportation gap (especially for neighbourhoods with closing retail stores). SF is the test city, and could temporarily reclaim the future forward progressive brand that draws

Hoping, someone @Apple reads this, and is either already working on something similar or runs with the idea. The last time I tweeted something like this in 2012 Apple released iCloud Keychain/Wifi Syncing in 2013.

I kind of wish there was a way to store all of your Wifi Keychain Passwords in iCloud and have it sync across all Apple devices and iOS

How I think @Apple could launch an “MVNO” service that’s actually useful and not an inherent threat to telcos. 🤔PROBLEM: US iPhones /w No SIM trays = Bad or Expensive eSIM Intl’ Roaming = Sub-par travel experiences ✅SOLUTION: 📞 Apple Virtual “eNumber” - $12.95 per month

Last Friday we had a BLAST with our friends at @Zendesk , Hellman & Friedman, and Primera. These volunteer superstars packed 1,000 hygiene and snack kits and toured our Compass programs. We can't wait to do it again!

Love @monkeybrainsnet SF local ISP, always super responsive to issues. I sent in a ticket about slow speeds due to construction, and they called in minutes, and sending out a technician a couple of hours!

Hey Twitter! Working w/ @SparkProgramSF and a middle schooler @mlk_ms. He is working on a robotics project and working on putting himself out there! If you're able to contribute with words of encouragement (amount does not matter), it'll make a difference!

If you or someone you know are eligible for the vaccine in the #SanFrancisco #BayArea I recommend subscribing to this Telegram Channel that posts vaccine appointments when made available https://t.co/k2FtZaEaMA 🌁🌉

Honoured to have sat down with @leezeltanglao to talk about Blood Debt: Sleep, Time, & Tech Debt. Highly recommend giving the series a listen where Leezel interviews people from the Filipino diaspora

A leader I talked to for mentorship/advice mentioned she was surprised that her story & background connected with me. I realised it’s because through my whole career, I have only know of strong female leadership. And I’m grateful for this experience that others often don’t get.

Self Reflection: Forever grateful for the early startup experience with @HyperopticMD as founder/CEO (whilst I was still in school), and with @maeve_h as Finance Director there and @Zendesk. All I have known is strong female leadership 💪

One company you wouldn’t expect to be feedback driven is @Apple. They’ve built a strong feedback culture, at all levels of the company. They take it seriously, even if it doesn’t seem like it.
