A rare look at 25 F-117A Nighthawks flying together in a historic formation flyover.

Hi, I'm Morgan, and I thought I may as well do a super short intro post since I have a lot of new followers 👋 First thing to know about me, I am not an expert or remotely close to one, in anything. I am a very curious person who loves learning, and I still have a lot to learn. I am the Cofounder and CTO at @boldmetrics where I lead an amazing team of engineers and data scientists who are all 10x smarter than me. We power fit and sizing for some of the world's largest brands, you've probably used us, and you will probably use us this holiday season. Building a company that provides software at this scale has been one of the most humbling and challenging things in my life. I can remember when we thought getting 100 users a day was a lot, then 1,000, then 10,000, and well, now we serve billions of users a year, it has been a very surreal and satisfying experience. You'll probably see me tweeting about @VulcanBench quite a bit on X. This is a research project of mine that I'm really enjoying. I am researching how models think across effort levels, started with a focus on agentic coding, and starting to branch out into Computer Use. Lately I've found Computer Use to be a fascinating area, and something I think will be increasingly important as personal ai really goes mass market, so it's an area I can't help but be incredibly curious about. I grew up in Berkeley, CA, went to college in Pittsburgh at @CarnegieMellon, and now live in Lake Tahoe. I was very fortunate to be early at @Sonos, I was there for nine years. When I joined the company they were running out of money, when I left, I was in a life changing position and decided to change my life and become a founder. Building companies is what I was born to do, I know that now. I would make a terrible employee at any company, esp. a big company. My passion really is coming up with a vision for the future, developing and iterating on the narrative, and then pitching investors and raising money, then building a team. Leading a passionate team of people is the most gratifying thing I have ever done in my life, I feel grateful every single day to be able to do this at Bold Metrics. I also feel grateful to the amazing investors we have that continue to be incredibly supportive throughout our journey. I'm not a dinner and drinks kinda guy, I'm a let's go for a ski or hike kinda guy. I don't drink alcohol and am not a foodie, so cities aren't really my jam, I really just want to be in nature, which is why Tahoe is home. Winter is my favorite season by far, I love snow, and lots of snow. Last year when we didn't get as much snow in Tahoe as I had hoped for, I flew to Japan to ski right after a snow storm in Hokkaido. During the summer, I'm the guy just counting the days until winter comes back. And that's me. Thanks for following me, it really has been amazing to see this account grow. I write every single tweet by hand, as you can probably tell by some of my grammar errors and typos 🤪 Last but not least, I believe the core purpose of life is love. I would never do well in a 9-9-6 culture. Having dinner with my wife every single night and spending as much time with my family is the most important thing in the world to me. My belief is that the earlier you learn this, the better. You will never look back on the time you sat in an office eating DoorDash at 10pm as time better spent than spending time with the people you love. Life is short, work hard, but don't workmax, lovemax ❤️

re: Jensen Huang - It is not us that have to forgive him, it's his wife and kids - The memes are funny but you're all helping a narrative that they will use to crush Opensource AI - He's just a guy, not a god - We all fuck up Be decent and show some compassion to his family
