The US needs 500,000 new electricians this decade.
Apprenticeships take 5 years.
Microsoft’s Brad Smith says it’s the #1 thing slowing data center expansion.
The AI bottleneck isn’t chips. It’s the trades.
I caught an employee customizing his desktop background.
It was a photo of his family at the beach.
Smiling, waves crashing, pure joy.
I asked why he changed it from the standard company logo.
He said it motivates him during long hours.
I explained that personal images can dilute brand immersion.
He argued it's just a background, not hurting anyone.
I nodded and updated his profile with "potential loyalty drift."
Then I reset his desktop remotely.
Now it's our logo again.
Mobility meets intelligence. @Qualcomm and Hyundai @global_mobis are collaborating to bring advanced driver assistance and connected experiences to their next-gen vehicles. https://t.co/kB3tcYtRFs
@kevinolearytv What if they show up looking all strung out, but they’ve got a 59 Les Paul Standard you can play whenever you want as long as you invest?
@it_unprofession Probably a made up story, but if it’s true, the third thing you forgot to mention is it tells your boss you’re a disengaged employee who thinks he’s clever.
My local dry cleaner was struggling to pay the bills.
He was losing $10,000/mo.
I told him to "use Moltbot to transform your business"
He took my advice.
Bought a Mac Mini and API access to Claude.
His business is totally transformed.
He now loses $14,700/mo.
🚨 "We are planning to dramatically slow down how quickly we grow."
Sam Altman says OpenAI is shifting toward "majority AI co-workers."
This is a massive vote of confidence in their product roadmap. It signals that their internal models are becoming so powerful that human capital is becoming hyper-leveraged.
This is exactly what you want to see. It signals that we are finally entering the era where AI generates real, tangible ROI. OpenAI is "dogfooding" their way to a leaner, faster organization. This is also exactly what critics have been asking for years “why do you still hire developers”
Well now we know officially it will slow down, — Dario held the same opinion at Davos as well
We're hiring! Reach out if you or anyone you know is a good fit for these roles!

If hiring were astronomical:
1. HR would be a black hole — applications go in, feedback never comes out.
2. The boss would be gravity — constantly pulling you toward stress.
3. Workmates would be moons — reflecting your light while claiming it as theirs.
4. Job portals would be wormholes — you enter once and never escape.
5. Interviews would be eclipses — months of preparation, seconds of darkness.
6. “We’ll get back to you” would be dark matter — discussed in theory, missing in reality.
7. Low salaries would be dwarf stars — burning effort with little energy output.
8. ATS would be an asteroid field — most CVs destroyed before landing.
9. Experience requirements would be light-years — impossible distances for juniors.
10. Panel interviews would be constellations — too many stars, no clear direction.
11. Burnout would be the supernova — bright performers collapsing from overuse
