Joined March 2013
1/3 yesterday was my last day at @anduriltech. When I first met with the team, it was early 2018 and 15 people in warehouse in Costa mesa. Nothing can truly describe the last 4+ years and maybe one day I'll write about all of the amazing things I learned.

Everyone thinks Claude Code is just for engineers. The truth is it’s one of the most underrated tools for product managers. It’s basically a cheat code for anyone buried in ops grind and endless analysis. Here’s how I use it day-to-day 🧵

I’m proud of this team and mission. Saronic’s bold leadership is investing hundreds of millions of dollars hiring Americans to scale advanced ship manufacturing, and moving as fast as any top talent I’ve seen. Time to build more at scale in the USA 🇺🇸.
Saronic is expanding to Louisiana. To accelerate our growth into autonomous shipbuilding, we have acquired Gulf Craft – a shipbuilder on the Louisiana Gulf Coast with 60 years of experience building manned and unmanned vessels. This facility will be the prototyping & production

Saronic is a critical company for the USA and the future of the free world. Dino, Vib, Rob, and team are crushing it. Proud to have worked with them since day 1, and to see this @8VC Build Co rise to new heights. Thank you to @eladgil and other great US funds for the support.
We are proud to announce that Saronic has raised a $600 million Series C funding round led by @eladgil , quadrupling our valuation to $4 billion. This new funding round will allow us to build a next-generation shipyard, one we’re calling Port Alpha.

Elon's enemies have a real problem. Their argument that a man worth $400+ billion is doing it to make more money is obviously not credible.
