He's candid about the failures too — a comp-plan math error that slipped past every human reviewer — and about runaway token spend and why he refuses to make a leaderboard out of it.\n\nThe conversation closes with an unexpected turn into AI-assisted biohacking, where Tom feeds genome data, blood work, and wearables into structured data to work around the context window — and a speed round on where all of this is actually headed.\nMatt Stauffer on X - https://x.com/mattstauffer\nTom Crary on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-crary-01246510\nTom Crary on X - https://x.com/TMoney1371\nTighten Website - https://tighten.com/\nLaravel Website - https://laravel.com/\n\n-----\n\nEditing and transcription sponsored by Tighten - https://tighten.com/","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/3enyAvaW7o2XuKO8gxz1hczs1w-ziZ7Pq03SgiXrNR0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kOGQ3/ODc2YWFlNGQ2NDY2/ZTkwYWZlOWU1OTYx/YWMyYS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
