Guess I'm getting my money's worth out of my Claude Max $100 subscription... used the equivalent of $55 of API credits in just this one session (so far). Also have Codex actively working on another project and Devin working on a third.
Umm, @MelioPayments, I got in chat at 5:50 w/ 1 person in the queue ahead of me, then chat told me it was after business hours and that chat closed at 6pm. Your Help page says 7pm ET, and the CHAT HEADER says 8pm ET. What gives?!?!?
Seriously @Shopify? Not only is the back-end down but our website is showing "This store does not exist" to our customers... not a good look. We pay almost $3k a month for Shopify Plus for this?!?!
If you use AI to build a website, you have undoubtedly used @tailwindcss. Revenues are down 80% and they have already had to lay off 75% of their staff. I already bought Refactoring UI and Tailwind Plus so I joined the Insiders program.

Is @OpenNameProject a scam? Purchased a domain name on July 14, paid with ETH. The domain still shows as "Registering" in their system, and the page refreshes every few seconds. They didn't respond to a DM & I can't find an email address. Not a lot of $ but I wanted the domain.😒
My flight home is delayed 3 1/2 hours and I was bumped from first class due to an equipment change. Now it’s LEAVING at 10pm, arriving after 1am. @Delta is so generous to give me a $12 meal voucher. I’m sure that will cover dinner at an airport restaurant. 🙄
Been fighting with two SFP+ 10G fiber modules for over a week. Just couldn't get them to work. Thought it was because one of the devices was an older switch (ES-48-750w) but also didn't work with a brand new 10G SFP+ PCI card. Just realized one of the transceivers is single-mode.

I just cancelled my Adobe licence after many years as a customer.
The new terms give Adobe "worldwide royalty-free licence to reproduce, display, distribute" or do whatever they want with any content I produce using their software.
This is beyond insane. No creator in their right mind can accept this .
You pay a huge monthly subscription and they want to own your content and your entire business as well.
Going to have to learn some new tools.
Had fun talking to @bandholz about shifting from retailing to manufacturing and building @MEFootwear brand from the ground up. #ecommerce #dtc
Profit margins narrowed from reselling prominent shoe brands, prompted entrepreneur @beley to make a change. "2BigFeet Shifts to DTC." Via @bandholz. pec-ly.com/?6s2H #ecommerce
I don’t know when the Gmail mobile app added “Select All” but it made my day today! Got through so much more email on my short flight than I could have before. When did they finally add it?
E-commerce is hard. Manufacturing is hard. Building a footwear brand is hard. Mistakes have lots of zeroes.
But that’s also a barrier to entry. A moat. If it’s easy, then anybody can do it. And soon enough, someone will.

We are closing our 50,000 square foot @ElementsBrands D2C fulfillment center.
Everything is on auction for the next 24 hours - computers, forklifts, racking, scales, printers.
Basically - it's a 3PL in a box. Anyone want to bid?
Link is in the next tweet.
We have a dedicated product photography studio at @2bigfeet so we can get great shots of new styles like the new Michael Ellis Footwear Sneaker Collection. We’re having a lot of fun combining shots like these with AI tools to expand or change up backgrounds and enhance photos.
We had a bad experience at @FirehouseSubs - took 45 minutes longer than the app indicated to get our food - so I submitted feedback. 2 weeks later, they credited me a whopping 100 loyalty points for the inconvenience. A $2.58 cookie is 4,000 pts. Thanks for the nickel I guess. 🙄
Upgraded my Home Assistant Z-Wave integration but also migrated from a Raspberry Pi to a VM and have been troubleshooting Z-Stick connection issues for days. Saw a recommendation to unplug the Z-Stick and plug back in and thought “It CAN’T be that simple!” It was that simple. 😂
Hey @PayPal, I'm curious how & why you're letting scammers send invoices from "@apple" with terms & conditions and seller notes with scam PayPal contact information. Seems like these invoices should raise a LOT of red flags internally. Scammer admits it: soundcloud.com/brandoneley/p…
