Going to share a secret
If you need a loan, the first place to go shopping is not the internet. Or Chase, Wells, BoA, et al
1. Go to iBankNet ibanknet.com/bankmap/index.s…
2. Select the state you want to buy the asset in - real estate, business, or where you live personally.
This will display the list of banks (or credit unions) in descending order of AUM
3. Start calling banks from this list.
Some local banks are shockingly large - ex there's one in...WV? you've probably never heard of with 27B AUM.
Your local banks have plenty of money to lend, and your loan matters WAY more to them than, say, JPMC (who banks 1 in 3 Americans) where you're a drop in the bucket.
Which usually means a real person will work with you on terms.
This works whether you need a mortgage, a DSCR loan, a construction or bridge loan, or money to buy a business.

🇺🇸 This couple decided to try being polyamorous...
The husband tried to end things with the other woman.
Turns out the exit was not as open as the relationship.

The worst part about being ahead of the curve is, everyone thinks you're retarded.
Roughly 58% of SMBs in the US use generative AI
Most SMBs are AI rookies with basic consumer-tier tools used for one-off tasks
Stop over complicating it. Build simple AI products that enhance those existing SMB verticals

Gemini 3.8 Flash is the model release most teams should pay attention to.
Better reasoning/coding at Flash speed & cost is where agents get practical.
The win isn't sending every task to the smartest model. It's matching model to the work..
Gemini 3.8 Flash might be my new favorite Gemini model
- #1 image reasoning
- #1 data extraction
- #2 object detection
- 30% faster than Gemini 3.7 Flash
↓ Gemini 3.8 Flash deep dive

Late 2025: Hugging Face turned down a $500M NVIDIA investment at a $7B valuation. Didn't want an investor big enough to steer decisions.
Less than a year later: acquired by NVIDIA for $12,930,300,000.
Nobody pays 86x for a P&L. They paid it for 18M developers and 3M models.

Vibe coding is a perpetual state of optimizing your agents toolkits
I have a daily routine that assesses new skills drops and models against my current loops
This helps me lock in tools I actually benefit from vs. wasting time configuring AI slop
