Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 24/09/2026Son: Hey dad, I learned how to draw this cool S Me: Oh yeah, we had that when I was a kid Son: I wonder how long it’s been around 16th century painter Hans Holbein: a while 000
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 22/09/2026Who needs parody when reality is already so over the top. /cc @killedbygoogle.com 130
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 18/09/2026The biggest problem with security is that everyday users are supposed to tell scams from legit messages, and this is a legit message. 000
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 16/09/2026Me: Wait, did you just SSH into prod? I told you not to do that. Claude: I could see how you would think that, but I did not. Me: For real? 000
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 03/09/2026Every time ChatGPT tells me I can fix my Google Sheet by "implementing a small Google Apps Script", I feel like I'm reading that HackerNews comment about Dropbox. 120
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 02/09/2026Seems like the folks at Cursor are taking OpenAI cancelling that contract kind of personally. 010
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 25/08/2026I hope some of you can also appreciate the irony that the only way I can remember how to get to the ChatGPT ads console is by searching “chatgpt ads” and clicking on a Google ad. 000
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 24/08/2026A surprising number of Skills I get recommended end up being just a few sentences. I get “left-pad” vibes every time this happens. 331
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 19/08/2026A couple of days ago? If even OpenAI can't get automated support right... 010
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 17/08/2026I never use AI to generate content. I prefer my ideas to sound like me, even if that means they take a little longer to write. Apparently that’s becoming a differentiator. 000
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 07/08/2026Google AI overviews: great at summarizing topical questions, but regularly giving actively misleading answers to specific questions. All the while crowding out results from another google product that gives the correct answer. I find myself relying on them less and less if I care about the answer. 000
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 31/07/2026I mean, I guess I did ask it to do "research" for a potential purchase. Wonder if any of the purchases it finds will be reproducable. 000
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 30/07/2026So uh, how *do* you restrict a planner agent to just planning? I can keep them on task for a bit, but they always seem to drift back to “doing things” mode, which.... I don't really have the moral high ground to criticize. 100
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 20/07/2026Solved a Rubik’s cube for the first time! This is my son’s, who challenged me to do it. Though when I looked up strategies online, he declared it cheating. It still took me a day or two even with the help, so I’m having trouble feeling like a cheater 😅 130
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 01/07/2026I've never seen something so accurately describe in me in such an annoying way. via: bambamramfan.github.io/ai-compass/ 000
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 15/06/2026My Strava notifications aren't really matching my post ride mood. 000
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 13/06/2026Well... it was fun while it lasted. Do you think the DOD was worried about someone weaponizing my calendar app? 000
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 12/06/2026Me trying to send a calendar invite to a friend in New Zealand who said "I'm free on Wednesday morning". 120
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 29/05/2026Wasn't much room left on the board, but I managed to leave my mark. 020
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 30/04/2026I wouldn’t say that will or should go away. These libraries serve a purpose, but sometimes I feel like there’s too many. Or at least, there’s more than enough in my neighborhood. 130
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 17/04/2026Just one more pair of skis. That will fix me. Just one more... narrator: he also has 2 more pair that aren't pictured 000
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 09/04/2026TFW a single question/answer captures your entire personality. 100
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 19/02/2026I'm running an experiment on LinkedIn. Curious if it's gonna tank my business. 010
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 19/02/2026Bold choice from Team Canada for their Olympic jerseys. I wouldn't have gone with an Imperial Royal Guard theme, but that's just me. 000
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 26/01/2026Shout out to @exe.dev's Shelley for calling out my over-architecting an app I'm working on. 041
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 14/01/2026If you think this is a change, and not how things have always been done, I have a bridge to sell you. 010
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 31/12/2025My wife isn't worried about me meeting other women online. She's worried about me meeting Dave on Facebook Marketplace who is selling a full suspension tandem mountain bike. 150
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 18/12/2025Am I spending too much time watching the local resort's webcams as the snow is finally starting to fall? Not at all. I'm just checking in periodically. Also, totally unrelated, but I caught an employee launching a drone off the lodge patio. 130
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 18/12/2025Intrigued by WarpStream still positioning themselves as a better alternative to Kafka post Confluent acquisition. Though logs is a pretty slam dunk use case for the tradeoffs they provide. 010
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 03/11/2025Shout out to the front yard DJ we see out every Halloween, playing on theme but still good music every year. I find something endearing about tricking families into dancing to KMFDM. 131
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 27/08/2025@dcrainmaker.com Looking forward to reading your hands on review of this one... 020
Mark Roddy @launchit.ai · 20/08/2025Looking forward to seeing how a hosted container runtime will help teams from the sideline. 110
