I'm hiring Software and Hardware Engineers who want to run through walls for the US military and our allies. I don’t care where you went to school. I care what you’ve shipped. DM me the most impressive thing you’ve built to apply.
What goes on here?

You may have heard of The Gundo, along with all of its controversy... But how did it start? Who started it? And where is it headed? All of that in today's video, link below.

Tomorrow I'm releasing a video I've wanted to make... for a long time.

Now would be a good time for you, mister venture capitalist, to run Ethan’s Series A.
China has officially closed all exports for lithium ion materials, equipment, and high energy density batteries with >300 Wh/kg. If you buy drone batteries (2170 or pouch) reach out. Your supply chain may have just evaporated.

As established American defense primes age and struggle to innovate, a new cohort of live players has entered the picture. They’re building the next generation of drones, sensors, and robotics—but unifying all this new hardware into a single operational system has proven challenging. With this problem in mind, we’re excited to announce the new brand and website for @Picogrid, the unified platform for autonomous systems. We worked closely with CEO @zanemountcastle and Head of Design @wyattcoe to craft a beautiful, technical design system that centers on real-world operability. Read on for more 🧵
It's been an honor to work with the team at @asimov_co

@Picogrid is rapidly building up a truly impressive circle of friends. The startup announced late last week that its flagship software integration system, Legion, will be plugging into @PalantirTech's ultra-popular Maven Smart System (MSS). tectonicdefense.com/picogrid…
