I’ve been really happy to help the rabbit community with my app BunINDEX and now am thrilled to be helping fellow agronomists and farmers with my data analytics tool that makes a simple but powerful PowerPoint that I’m now getting ready to release cost effectively.
I still say the Tigers play at Tiger Stadium and the Red Wings play at Joe Louis Arena even tho I know both of those things aren't a thing anymore by default and I can't fix it lol.
Getting older I’ve realized some people are just addicted to the struggle and would rather work hard to recruit you vs work hard to get out of the struggle 🤷🏻♀️
Was talking to a friend about why I’m more comfortable taking calculated risks (not gambling I want to be clear) and it’s because I don’t want to live and play small in this lifetime.

The horses are not a subscription.
They are a lifestyle choice 🌱🐴
Critical thinking means sitting with both
not just grabbing the take that sounds rebellious.
That’s what I wanted them to leave with.
What do you think about this discourse on college degrees in the media?
But it will make sure you/your family can eat
And a lot of people claiming they “made it with no help” had a trust fund quietly running in the background.
Context matters.
The noise says college is useless.
The data says it’s complicated.
This week was my last day teaching for the spring.
I left my students with one stat:
83% of billionaires have a college degree.
Many hold graduate degrees too.
Make of that what you will. 🌱
A degree won’t make you a billionaire.
That means so much to me thank you 😊
Is college worth it?
It depends.
My ag degree didn’t get me into tech I taught myself that in 4.5 months on YouTube.
But it did get me into a university classroom.
Same credential. Completely different outcomes.
The question was never yes or no.
It’s: worth it for what?
CONGRATULATIONS SO WELL EARNED AND DESERVED
My favorite part of getting coffee and doughnuts at my favorite Amish bakery place is bringing my laptop and two dogs to code and having Amish kids ask where I’m from and what I’m doing. It’s cool seeing them be so fascinated that my computer is “work”.
I felt so bad breaking “the wooden toy” at Seymour elementary school as a kid but come to find out those things had arsenic and it spread to the soil. So actually you’re welcome kids.
I’m unfortunately the party pooper that after being shown an open claw complex project that asks:
“so how does this help anyone or what does this save anyone from?”
I’ll be more excited about a simple automation that saves a business or a person hours vs complex token burner.
The power of networking and sharing skills locally is what I think will have the most power in changing the world for good! medium.com/@marciacripp...
Growing up I remember always hearing how “marriage was the end of freedom for men” but now they’re mad “women don’t want to get married anymore”. It’s almost like we listened to you the first time and now you’re mad we listened 🤷🏻♀️
My hot take is moms started liking nickelback and that is the reason why that band was hated so much.

Loved going through data points using my soil and tissue python reader that also spits out a uniform PowerPoint presentation for growers and the theme seems to still be make good decisions preseason.
Surprise! I’m back as an agronomist! I’m helping other agronomists and farmers make year end reports and find trends in the data. I love creating the top 5 and having a key takeaway or theme based off the soil/tissue data. Combining my automation and education #agtwitter #agdata
You get it!!!!
I call this a “channel changer”. I grew up on the east side of Michigan. Found out today that’s weird I call it that.
I’m also working on this goal!
Haven’t introduced myself in a while on socials so hi 👋 I’m Marcia I’m a farmer turned software engineer and I help businesses build a web and now LLM presence, and automate tasks without monthly or annual subscription. I also love helping startups with filler temp roles!
Sadly only app that actually does this well is paid but I like it - AppBlock
Still battling my phone addiction but I found out scheduling time where I can’t do anything with my phone except make calls or texts or use the Internet and maps has made me less anxious and for the first time feel rested after sleeping for 8 hours
Hi so it covers my music and all YouTube stuff and some live stuff I really think it’s worth the money because of how much I watch YT and I feel better knowing I can watch my favorite creators and support them somewhat vs like Netflix
I really sat thru my subscriptions again and realized I really don’t need audible when I have Libby and can cancel all my streaming and just keep YouTube premium. I also decided Amazon prime also needs to go. I’m keeping it simple going forward.
I think I’ve tried almost everything to try and fix my doomscrolling and phone addiction. I think finally got a solution.

Also realized going above and beyond in customer service is so rare that when I do it for my customers they give me so much credit and grace
I heavily utilize AI for almost everything except customer service. I still pick up the phone or respond without AI assistance because it’s been my biggest retainer in current customers. I get so much positive feedback as a tech company I have a real human to talk to first.
