This is quite the burn.

Sad about Jensen. Shakespearean. But as de Gaulle said, “The graveyards are filled with indispensable men.”

If he legislates like he has run his campaign it will be a breath of fresh air. What a good communicator.

[Scott Colom @scott_colom]

A quick reference on how to prononce my name...

...with a cameo from my dad and his new 'do 🤣

[Constance L Hunter @ConstanceHunter]

Worth tracking. Thank you @Cato

[Dave Nadig @DaveNadig]

Wild to me that every week, the US sovereign wealth fund is buying up chunks of private companies with my tax dollars and there’s zero coverage or fanfare. As far as I know @CatoInstitute is the only place you can even find out what we bought this month. https://t.co/WbJnQAZAW8

@mark_dow Ha!

[Constance L Hunter @ConstanceHunter]

@RobertMSterling May he rest in peace.

I hope memories of him will sustain you during this difficult time. Sending prayers and my deepest sympathies to you and your family.

@EpsilonTheory My father watched every episode at least 10 times. It is such a powerful memorialization of the deviation of war. It might be time to replay it!

[Constance L Hunter @ConstanceHunter]

@SamRo I can completely relate to this!

[Constance L Hunter @ConstanceHunter]

@dwarkesh_sp Robert Cato is the best! You also have to read book “ Working” which explains his process. It is excellent.

[Constance L Hunter @ConstanceHunter]

@CliffordAsness And good sound insulation. It should be quiet!

[Constance L Hunter @ConstanceHunter]

@ernietedeschi Once upon a time the elite thought brutalism was cool and futuristic.

Talk about dystopian.

[Constance L Hunter @ConstanceHunter]

Indeed. A critical input to chip manufacturing.

[Richard Field @tyillc]

Helium shortages going to be a big problem ...

@zzeker I don’t know what she thinks and I don’t want to put words in her mouth.

[Constance L Hunter @ConstanceHunter]

At the risk of angering a few folks, I vehemently disagree about the old rules not applying in this economy. When my career began I had no idea where it would or could go.

I was curious & rigorously continued my education to improve my skills. Be agile & solve problems.

1/n

[Kyla Scanlon @kylascan]

Most career advice comes from an economy that no longer exists. So what still works? What should people DO?

These are the questions behind my new show, Best of Luck! Every week, I sit down with people who have built careers that have gone sideways, forwards, backwards, and forwards again. Each guest tells their story, swaps career advice, interviews for a job (!), and together, we try to understand the economy we're actually living AND working in.

[Constance L Hunter @ConstanceHunter]

@kylascan The plural of anecdotes is not data. Please consider having @gbenga_ajilore on. He posted this very useful graph a few days ago.

The data is still impacted by the long tail of the pandemic and now we are in a low hire expansion.

[Constance L Hunter @ConstanceHunter]

It is not economy dependent. Every generation for the past 200+ years experienced an unprecedented level of change.

Yes, Virginia, entropy really does increase. Read Claude Shannon’s 1948 paper “A Mathematical Theory of Communication”

[Constance L Hunter @ConstanceHunter]

The advice I would give today is the following:

1. Be curious
2. Continuously learn
3. Continuously hone communication skills
4. Seek constructive feedback
5. Solve problems and take on responsibility
6. Acknowledge and learn from mistakes
7. Be agile

AI doesn’t change this
