JUST IN: Joe Rogan proposes putting world leaders in a room together on psychedelic mushrooms to end wars & achieve global denuclearization.

Hi I'm Morgan, and since I have a lot of new followers, I thought I'd take a moment to introduce myself 👋 First, please don't mistake me for an expert, because I am far from one. I am, however, someone that gets excited about a lot of things, and I'm endlessly curious. I was born and raised in Berkeley, CA, went to college and studied Engineering in Pittsburgh at Carnegie Mellon, and after school went to work for a tiny startup called Sonos. When I joined Sonos, they were pretty much running out of money, I was actually told I might not have a job for long. But I loved the idea, really liked the founders, and took the plunge. Luckily, Sonos did not run out of money, and I was there from ~35 people to ~1,000 people. I was at Sonos for nine years, but knew working for a company, esp. one that was now 1,000 people, wasn't my path, I really wanted to start and run my own business. After that, I started Bold Metrics which I run today as the Cofounder/CTO. I have an amazing team that I am incredible proud of. They are all 10x smarter than I will ever be. Through this journey I realized that my passion in life is coming up with ideas, building the narrative around those ideas and how they fit into a future that I can see in my mind, and pitching those ideas to investors. From there, I can do what I love the most, building teams. I really enjoy the process of finding great people and building a culture where they can truly thrive. At Bold Metrics, I pushed us to adopt agentic coding workflows in early 2025. Through this experience I started benchmarking our own stack, actual PRs from our repos, and helped my team understand what models and effort levels they really needed for regular daily work. What I learned is that benchmarking models across effort levels led to fascinating results. As I shared this with a few friends in SF, they all said I should open source my benchmarking tool and share the results. So I did, and I called it VulcanBench. Today VulcanBench is the biggest money-losing thing I've ever done, and I love it. I get to wake up every morning and see new insights about models that I try to turn into real signal that other engineering teams can use. I live in Lake Tahoe, it's my favorite place on earth. I'm not a big foodie or restaurant guy, and I don't drink, so the whole "dinner and drinks" thing isn't really my jam. I would much rather chat while riding a ski lift then in a noisy crowded restaurant. And I love cooking so would always rather cook at home. For decades now I've been traveling Internationally. I got the travel bug launching Sonos in Asia, Australia, Latin America, and Canada. I usually visit 4-5 countries a year. It's hard for me not to get antsy being in the US for more than a few months, the world is my home. I married my best friend, the love of my life, we've been together for over 20 years now. To me, the meaning of life is love. I live my life by one simple rule - spend as much time as possible with the people I love. You will never find me missing dinners to sit in an office grinding away while eating DoorDash. Time is too precious for that. I am dedicated to changing the world, that is my life mission, and I have known it for a long time. Throughout my life I've had many friends say I'm crazy for saying that. That's okay, we need more crazy people in this world with big dreams and a high tolerance for risk. If you are following me, and actually like and comment as yourself, thank you. It has been a truly humbling experience to see my account on X grow as I just write what's in my head on here. I do not write sponsored posts or do any kind of sponsored stuff at this time so please don't pitch stuff to me, you'll always get a no. I want to keep this account focused on me just writing whatever I want, whenever I want. Okay, this turned out longer than I expected, so I'll leave it here. And holy moly, if you read all of this, you might just be as crazy as me 🤪

US banks just started detecting AI agents inside customer accounts — without permission. 🏦🚨 JPMorgan, Citi, and BofA are now blocking outside agents outright. The agent era’s first real question isn’t “can it act?” — it’s “should it have access?” 🔒

Claude’s personal agent is here, and I gotta say, I love the name, Duet.

2 months ago, Buildside had 10 users. I built it but i didn't market it. So i started building in public. I talked to users I sent the link to people on X and Linkedin I talked about the journey on socials That's when people started joining. And today we're at 426 users in total. And it's generated over $100 in revenue It feels unreal. But that's what happens when you build in public. P.S. On to 500 users soon ! 🚀
