Using special characters for my name looks kinda cool, but it also serves as a spam tripwire.
A normal person would just type βDerekβ
but AI is scraping the name as it appears.
Checkmate. Haha!

Godaddy doesnβt want you to know this secret hack. π€«
If you want a domain (reg. on GoDaddy) but canβt find the owner and donβt want to pay a broker for outreachβ¦
Do it for FREE + TRACK delivery:
1. Setup a free streak(.)com account
2. Add extension to Chrome or Safari
3. Compose a draft w/tracking on
4. For the recipient address, put:
βdomain.com@domainsbyproxy.comβ
Replace βdomainβ with the one you want. (replace extension too if itβs a .co or alt)
That forwards to their primary Godaddy email address.
Streak tools in the sidebar will show if itβs been read.
"Your domain must have been expensive"
Fun fact: I bought our .com with my own money *BEFORE* I raised $3M
Here's how I landed our .com, how much it cost, AND why you should never trust GoDaddy brokers:

Armed Uber?
Do they just pickup and drop off then?
Or would they wait for me during a shady Craigslist deal too? Haha

Yikes!
Glad she's safe. Keep us updated on progress.
Hopefully they'll revoke his status, but there should be a shared offender list between Lyft and Uber to make sure they don't hop between apps when banned.

So total bill for testing is $44,000?
This is a prime example of the cat and mouse game that makes people distrust the heath care system.
Itβs extortion.

I don't share stats... but I spilled the tea w/@CoFoundersNik π«π«π« (link below)
Hereβs how I average $31,000/month w/ a βlittleβ newsletter:

But BEWARE...I've broken ALL the rules with this one:

- No partners
- No blog post
- No employees

- No geo-arbitrage
- No referral network

it looks like thereβs also LATE fees and compliance testing forms π that have to be faxed in.
Code samples must be handwritten in black or blue ink.

Some call it a health fee.
Just usually covers health insurance for employees or whatever they want it to be.
Itβs a way of increasing the bill without raising prices. Kind of unethical π«

Most people will say this is under playing restaurant reality.
Itβs fairly accurate though.
I have a friend who runs a restaurant and he saidβ¦

Marques is generally honest and respectful with his reviews.

Always be 100% HONEST no matter what.

I can see the appeal for hands free jobs like cooks, fisherman, auto mechanics, etc.
Iβm in front of a computer all day and the last thing I want is another device to update and charge. Phones, tablets, watches. Whew.

This site is a social content gold mine
1. Get a daily business idea
2. Add your own thoughts to it
3. Share stats/pics on social media
4. Repeat π
Free startup idea - a tool that identifies why YT channels went from nothing to everything.
Analyzes thumbnails, titles, format changes, view counts to show what caused the 'overnight success'
Full idea and how it would work

All the companies that fumbled remote
work failed due toβ¦
β’ Leadership
β’ Communication
Those that prospered, did so for the same reasons.
Iβm biased (in bio) but have always advocated for companies to work in the way that suits their needs. Obvious things like manufacturing and food services need onsite teams.
Tech companies can be location independent. If youβre in tech and didnβt thrive, the problem isnβt the environment, itβs the culture.

Designers are eating entire industries with AI.
Death of the Design Engineer
A design engineer traditionally balances both design and engineering in one role. Yet AI has shifted things yet again. With AIβs growing capabilities, a good designer can now generate workable code, and a good engineer can produce UI following solid design principles. This narrows the middle ground, creating less space for generalists to shine.
Why hire a good design engineer when you can bring in a great designer who can leverage AI for technical tasks, and an outstanding engineer who uses AI to generate design elements? Each expert focuses on mastery in their core domain, while AI provides support across boundaries. The result is a stronger product with elevated quality on both sides.
This evolution raises the bar for everyone. With AI, anyone who excels in one skill can lean on technology to achieve adequacy in others. As the overall competency floor rises, specialization becomes more critical for those seeking to stand out. Instead of finding workaround roles in the middle, specialists can continue to deepen their craft.
Will these specialized roles last forever? Itβs hard to say. But at least for now, top-level designers still guide brand nuance, and top-level engineers still architect complex systems. AI can augment these capabilities, yet it hasnβt replaced the depth of expertise that true masters bring to the table.
So what do aspiring βdesign engineersβ do? Donβt join a teamβbuild something new! Then, gather a team of people who surpass even your own skills in design or engineering. Let AI fill in the gaps, and focus your energy on leadership and strategy. The possibilities expand beyond juggling just two rolesβyou can now take on twenty :D
