I wanted to attack 2026, not react to it. But scrolling week-to-week in Google Calendar? I can't see tradeoffs until it's too late. So I built https://t.co/7XWIYs46tx to see all 365 days at once. Now I plan once, execute all year. Free, open source, your data stays

Loving what @startupandrew and team are building at @taskletai. Triggers + browser control + sandbox turns one-off tasks into hands-free pipelines.
Introducing the Tasklet sandbox VM. Every agent now gets its own Linux environment with Python, ffmpeg, imagemagick, and a persistent filesystem. Create, process & transfer files, use code to analyze data, make network requests, install packages & more.

Having left NYC to sit for an hour to get into a tunnel/bridge, I decided plan more consistently using historical data: https://t.co/n0DLnToTsV Now if I leave on a Friday night, I look at the last 3 Friday's and it turns out, history repeats itself. #nyc #traffic

Yesterday I posted about the profitability headwinds facing eCom, resulting from a shift of consumer purchasing behavior away from transacting offline (due to COVID-19 restrictions) to online retailers and brands. Feedback was mixed, so I will unpack my point a bit more 👇🏼

I've had the problem of micromanaging processes, but I've learned (by experience) to give clear, measurable objectives, my team may take a different approach than I would have but still gets the same outcome #leadership #entrepeneurship #entrepreneur
