Dear Graduates: we're sorry about the Schmidt speech.
This week, we break down the nuance behind the boos, and grapple with the reality that no tech leader could have delivered a rousing AI speech in this moment.
On the bright side, Schmidt sent us down a fun rabbit hole, reviewing some of the best commencement speeches in recent history (RIP Steve Jobs).

I legit didn't realize I had so many feelings about what it means to be a "mission-driven" startup in 2026 until our recent @greatchatpod hang.
Tl;dr: today's startups missions are more adversarial, and generally oriented around winning (versus the softer and more idealistic missions of prior tech eras).
If every role is getting a sexy AI rebrand (growth engineer, operations engineer, etc), what do we call the actual engineers?
