@JuniorMusktore e vão escolher o pior 😀 kkkk

[Michael @michael_chomsky]

Today I was part of the 22% reduced by a San Diego startup.

The business is the strongest it’s ever been. So I think it’s important to be direct about what I’m seeing and why.

First, they made this decision and they own it. I was let go because the way to operate at the highest level of productivity is changing, and to win the future, I needed to change with it.

Second, this wasn’t about cutting costs. I was told most savings from this change will flow directly back into the people who stay. Apparently they’ll be introducing million-dollar salary bands. If you create outsized impact using AI, you’ll be paid outside of traditional bands.

Unfortunately, I only had 90x impact.

And in the new world, 90x doesn’t cut it.

THE 100X ORGANIZATION

The primary change is that we’re restructuring around what they call the 100x org. The goal is 100x output. The roles required to build at the highest level are fundamentally different than they were a year ago.

Incremental improvements to my existing workflows weren’t enough. I was still looking at the PRs I merged, instead of having an army of agents reviewing them.

I was still talking to other engineers, instead of my agents talking to their agents.

Sometimes I even deleted code and features, which means my output was technically negative.

The common narrative is that AI makes everyone more productive. It doesn’t. Many of the workflows of today, if left unchanged, create bottlenecks in AI systems.

I was one of those workflows.

THE BUILDERS, AGENT MANAGERS, AND FRONT-LINERS

— THE BUILDERS: 90X ENGINEERS

I don’t think most employees have internalized what’s actually happening with AI in engineering.

The common narrative is that AI makes all engineers more productive. That may be true in isolation, but at an organization level, that is the farthest thing from reality.

Here’s what we validated recently at this San Diego startup: the great engineers, the ones who can orchestrate, architect, and review, are becoming 100x engineers.

They’re not writing code. They’re directing agents that write code.

The skill is judgment.

Unfortunately, I was still occasionally using mine manually.

AI makes the best engineers wildly more productive, and everyone else using AI slows these engineers down.

Think about it. The bottlenecks are orchestration and reviewing. Everything else is leapfrogged and no longer needed.

So who do you want orchestrating and reviewing code?

Apparently not me.

The new world is about enabling your 10x engineers to become 100x.

I was only at 90x, which is basically a performance issue now.

The wrong strategy is to push every engineer to use infinite tokens. Companies doing this are celebrating 500% more pull requests. But customer outcomes don’t match the volume of code being generated.

I actually made this worse by sometimes deleting code.

Less code is technically less output.

In hindsight, this was not aligned with the 100x org.

— THE SYSTEM MANAGERS

Ironically, the people who automate their jobs with AI will always have a job.

They become owners of the AI systems. Agent managers.

I, regrettably, was still a person.

I had agents, but not enough agents. My agents had tasks, but not managers. My managers did not have agents. And my agents were not yet talking to other agents’ agents.

The underlying systems in which we operate are absolutely critical to get right. I now understand most companies are delusional to think they can iterate on existing humans and compete in this new world.

You must create enough disruption so old systems are deprecated entirely.

In this case, I was the old system.

— THE FRONT-LINERS

In a world that will become saturated with AI communication, the human touch will matter more than anything to customers.

This is a bottleneck that you shouldn’t replace.

I was not customer-facing, so unfortunately I was replaceable.

REWARDING 100X IMPACT

In a world where companies are able to do so much more with less, where does that excess money go?

In their case, much of the savings in this new operating model will flow directly back to those who enabled it.

Not me, because again, 90x.

We must reward people that create productivity accordingly. This aligns incentives on both sides. Plus, in a world where your best people create 100x impact, you can’t afford to lose them.

You can, however, afford to lose the 90x people.

Compensation bands of today should be thrown out the door. They’re introducing $1 million cash/year salary bands with a path available to nearly everyone in the company if they produce 100x impact by creating or managing AI systems.

I was apparently ten x short.

THE FUTURE

Nearly every company will make changes like these. The ones that do it proactively will define what comes next.

The future is not fewer people. It’s different work, new roles, and better rewards for those who embrace it.

We’re already seeing entirely new roles emerge, like Agent Managers, that didn’t exist a year ago.

And we’re seeing old roles disappear.

Like “engineer who personally reads his own PRs.”

I’ve never been more certain about where we’re headed.

@oprimodev Carros 1.0 turbo tem redução de IPI na fábricacao, então as montadoras fazem mais deles ao invés de outros. Não são 1.0 tipo MPI, são mais potentes, então aguentam carros mais pesados

Efficiency isn't just about speed anymore — it's about the massive reduction in the cost of intelligence.

NVIDIA and @OpenAI's partnership leverages the GB200 NVL72 to deliver a 35x reduction in token costs, bringing enterprise-grade AI to an unprecedented scale.

Trained and served on NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 systems, GPT-5.5 delivers the sustained performance required for execution-heavy, multi-step work — and at NVIDIA, that means teams are now scaling human ingenuity with OpenAI Codex Agents.

@bortoncorreaCFO 99% das pessoas não serão CEO da empresa atual. A maioria chegará no máximo em uma gerência ou especialista. Para que sofrer a vida inteira por algo que não vai chegar? Além das chances serem baixas, não vale a troca pelo TEMPO. Tempo eh a chave do remoto.

@titi_ohara Vivendo com autista em casa e autistas na vida, você vê que esses níveis 1 são geralmente classe média mimada que acha que TOC é autismo. Trocam de médico até conseguir um diagnóstico. A luta para higiene pessoal com autistas não é fácil.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Optimus will eliminate poverty and provide universal high income for all

[Nic Cruz Patane @niccruzpatane]

Elon Musk on how Optimus will provide access to the best medical care for anyone in the world:

“Imagine a world where everyone has access to the best surgeons, literally everyone. And Optimus will have the level of precision that is frankly superhuman and will be able to do medical procedures, very sophisticated medical procedures, any medical procedure, perhaps things that humans can't even do because they're too difficult, and that will be available to anyone. People often talk about eliminating poverty and providing great medical care, but they never actually have a solution.

Money doesn't solve it, because there are only so many, there's a very limited number of great doctors and surgeons, they don't grow on trees. But now they all get built in factories.”
