I'm a specialist of generalism... or maybe a generalist of specialism.

here's the argument some ai lab employees are making

- they genuinely believe what they're working on might kill everyone

- they continue to work on it because if this thing gets built it should be by responsible people like them

- the reason they do money things like selling enterprise deals and IPOing is solely to fund this effort

if this is all true then why is employee equity a thing? if you want to tell this story of being terrified of what you're building it doesn't work when there's a clear profit motive

it's particularly weird when people vest and then leave and write a tirade about how these companies are bringing the end of everything

if you want to act like this is the manhattan project, those scientists didn't have equity in something that gives them generational wealth

you don't get to say something bad is happening while profiting off it and also being seen as the good guy. one of these has to go

@awilkinson SoundCloud integration on Traktor for iOS is cool. Wish SoundCloud would do BPM/Key analysis on upload so I didn’t have to do it locally. Also would be nice to live in a world where protecting DMCA content was less strict, and compensating sources through attribution is possible

Let’s talk about High Agency: an attitude I’ve seen in every successful product manager & leader I’ve known.

Some ppl are born/raised with High Agency. It can also be developed later in life.

High agency is a prerequisite for making a profound impact in one's life & work

Ask people all the time for feedback. Make your asks specific, and your tone curious so it's safe for the other person to tell something critical. People know when you're just fishing for compliments. Examples (thread)

🎇 I made a small tool for everyone: CSS Grid Generator. You can designate rows, columns, gaps, and units, and then drag to create child divs to make dynamic layouts with ease!

Open source on GitHub and deployed on @Netlify

@Julian Agreed.

This may have been mentioned already, but Blinkist also helps trim out the fat in terms of content. Limited selection however, and I’m not certain Blinkist’ interpretation has been vetted by the author. Nice to have the option to read or listen on the road/commute.

The bosses we remember:

1 provided safe space to grow
2 opened career doors
3 defended us when we needed it
4 recognized and rewarded us
5 developed us as leaders
6 inspired us to stretch higher
7 led by example
8 told us our worked mattered
9 forgave us when we made mistakes

The gender pay gap isn't going to change unless we start talking about compensation. So, I'm sharing my salary history. Hoping that it helps at least one person.
