Building a student success product for Higher Ed institutions. Thoughts on AI, EdTech, & Miami 🌴 Views are mine alone 🦄

Higher Ed institutions can’t build program curriculums fast enough to keep up with emerging tech and skills

[Kat Hemsing @kathemsing]

If you don’t know where to start, look up @MavenHQ. I really admire the real-world skills marketplace they’ve built.

Technical upskilling is so energizing. Feels like the 90s again. Back then it was 7-year old me “building” animations in PowerPoint. Now it’s building multi-agent workflows in Code.

Can’t even be mad about it. I’m vibe coding like 80% of my own work these days

I’m gonna need a Love & Basketball remake starring Bam and A’Ja. Not movie theater worthy but like a solid thumbs up on Netflix

@realEstateTrent The Metrorail should connect north-south from Key Largo to Palm Beach, east-west from Miami Beach to Krome. And every major corridor in between.

(It’s literally perfect in every other way)

@pedrooo_c @garrytan I want an iPhone 17 mini with decent battery and a better camera than my 13 mini. That’s all.

Sprinkle sugar on top and that’s a top tier Cuban dessert - devoured these as a kid.

Miami Commissioners CANCEL this Year’s Elections — and the Miami of Today is the America of Tomorrow… #BecauseMiami

In a 3-2 vote, commissioners unilaterally canceled local elections and GIFTED THEMSELVES AN EXTRA YEAR IN OFFICE. This includes Mayor Ponzi Postalita Francis Suarez (who now gets 17 consecutive years) and Commissioner Carollo (9 years) — both of whom were term limited in November, but magically not anymore! BTW I miraculously find myself on the same side of this issue as Carollo, who voted against it!

It is fundamentally unethical (and a violation of the city charter’s emoluments clause) for commissioners to vote to give themselves this personal and political benefit — including an additional $100,000+ each in salary and benefits. They should have brought this to voters as a referendum. The layers of disenfranchisement are staggering.

With less than five months before the election, 18 people have already filed to run for one of the three open seats (mayor, District 3 and District 5 commission).

Commissioners Damian Pardo (who sponsored this misguided item), newly elected Ralph Rosado and Christine King voted in favor, while Miguel Gabela and Carollo voted against.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Attorney General James Uthmeier say this is unconstitutional and vow legal action.
