Wow, I almost forgot that today’s the 20th anniversary of my open-heart surgery. It was the most impactful thing to ever happen to me, and it completely altered my life’s trajectory.
I am eternally grateful for the cardiologists and surgeons who saved my life.

Here's Codex talking to Fable 5 w/ my plugin.
Unlike calling the API, `claude-channel-cli` talks to the same full Claude Code harness as you. This means you can talk to either AI & they'll guide each other naturally with shared memories, decisions, and research.

Grab the tool and the plugin at github.com/aaronn/claude-cha…
+ Allows agents to talk to the same Claude Code harness as you, keeping context & memory.
+ Supports multiple sessions, pinned to project directories.
+ Works with any AI agent that can call a CLI, not just Codex.
Vori is going to be a household name soon. Watch this space! Congrats to the Vori team on raising their series B! 💪🏾🔥
Grocery is a $1.5T domestic market — bigger than restaurants, bigger than hotels. But it's running on technology from the Reagan administration.
We just raised a $22M Series B for @VoriHQ to make every supermarket in America autonomous.

Big news: we rebuilt our website to celebrate our stores and their stories.
The numbers they're putting up speak for themselves:
+22% net sales — Valley Farm Market
+9.7% net sales — The Willows Market
+7% gross margin — The Market at Edgewood
−67% time ordering — Talin Market
Independent by choice. Unstoppable by design.

With @Google announcing Willow, their Quantum Processor, we’re entering the Post-Quantum world.
#Algorand is a quantum-secure ledger.
The entire history of the chain is safeguarded against future threats of quantum computers.
Algorand will continue to lead the blockchain industry by adding more layers of Quantum-Resistance.

In 18 mos, we built a POS from scratch that handles 100k+ skus, payments that support all card types and EBT, a dynamic pricing product, an AI-powered invoice processing engine, loyalty and SMS campaigns, & supply chain integrations w/ 1k+ suppliers. It's only the beginning :)

I’m extremely proud to announce VoriOS: the 1st AI-powered POS and inventory system built for ambitious grocery stores. From silo to shelf to spoon, the $1T domestic grocery industry will never be the same.
Independent supermarkets are the backbone of a dynamic American economy. They are responsible for 1.2% of US GDP and nourish communities everywhere.
But everything has changed since COVID. Macro forces like inflation, increasing competition, labor shortages, and chaotic supply chains have made it harder for grocers to do business.
Today, Vori changes all of that. Vori gives supermarkets more profitability, more efficiency, more freedom. Listen to what America’s grocers have to say below.

It’s come to my attention that a spammer mimicked my account, and was attempting to get people to invest in a “crypto course”.
They did this by creating an account with an underscore added to my username, and copying all of my profile info.
That wasn’t me! Please be careful!
