@vrexec Not true. The 'why' part is simple.

To have a little bit of fun for a reasonably long time in a reasonably good shape.

The bureaucrat inside you is about to have the best decade of their life.

Bureaucracy is for trusting things you have not done yourself.

AI makes producing things cheap and floods the trusting thing.

Spend a bit too much time trying to get control of my finances in Claude.

Frustrated, asked whether it is the right tool for the job.

The answer: use https://t.co/7ZJ8GWhhDm instead of reinventing the wheel (not an endorsement).

I love Software House CEOs who try to scare their customers away from vibe-coding while using vibe-coding themselves and pocketing margins.

[Krzysztof Daniel @kda]

I got to say that this is some amazing word smithing and frame pushing.

In the past: be notable
Now: Pay (but we will call it 'democratic')

Feels like Homelander's church 🤣

Also - 🇪🇺 has many issues. Forcing this sort of note is not one of them.

The more research I do on career growth, the more I like the statement:

work hard, play hard.

"Play" is not passive rest but building connections with others.

[Krzysztof Daniel @kda]

The framework assumes you know the causal chain.

It completely collapses when you don't know what drives results. Which does not happen often, and which does not happen when you are really concerned with execution.

I'm starting my exploration of the space of delivering and executing.

First book - '4 disciplines of execution'. Apparently, the bible of execution.

But it does not take long to notice the obvious flaw.

If Meta lays off those people without having to do so, it means that Meta sees no growth opportunities requiring human effort.

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

Meta laying off 10% of staff when revenue is at an all-time high, revenue growth is a beast (33% YoY!!), profits at an all-time high:

just depressing

These layoffs are not because Meta needs to lay off, but because Zuck wanted to lay off for whatever reason

Imagine a conference "Do not fail like me".

Call For Papers guideline: post-mortem analysis of your failure, the more spectacular the better.

[Krzysztof Daniel @kda]

Technically, less than 7% of the population has landlines. Only landlines - probably even less.

Assuming 1.5m noshows per year, and 70% success rate of calls, this is like ~ 5% improvement in hc availability.

Expected knee replacement wait time goes from 220 days to 209 days.

Poland is exploring powerful new ways to bring voice agents into public services.

This summer, the government is rolling out a voice agent for the national healthcare system (Centralna e-Rejestracja) - proudly powered by @ElevenLabs and supported by NFZ.

The agent calls patients who only have a landline, reminds them about upcoming appointments, and helps them reschedule if needed. With 40 million appointments a year and 10-20% no-show rates, this can significantly improve access to healthcare for people across Poland.

Sunday night thinking - is there demand for 'execution' skills? We teach strategy, but do we teach execution?

[Krzysztof Daniel @kda]

@vrexec sir, discussing this in public is really risky.

you'll learn that argument about $250 jacket is not about a jacket but about spending money without your boss permission.

and since you are asking this question - you clearly do not understand she *is* the boss.

[Krzysztof Daniel @kda]

@vrexec This is such an American/German things to say, influenced by Protestantism.

"Good blesses good people" -> "If you are poor, you are a bad person." -> "Never admit you are poor." -> "Do not discuss money".

The religion is gone, but pattern remained, and is being exported.

[Krzysztof Daniel @kda]

there are people who swear AI is improving the market for software developers, and there are people who say it is destroying it.

My environment is about 4:1. destroyed to growing.

And there is a special group selling AI.

[Krzysztof Daniel @kda]

Look at the five people you spend most time with. How many of them live the way you want to live?
What does it tell about your goals?

[Krzysztof Daniel @kda]

@tonyszko @PawRze @OpenAI @Google @Microsoft ja widzę to po stronie klientów - jak zachęcić ich pracowników do korzystania z AI, które ktoś kupił .

[Krzysztof Daniel @kda]

@GergelyOrosz creating and popularizing those ideas is not simpler at all, it takes as much time or even more.

also, it is not worth to publish new things unless you can monetize them. You won't even get traffic on your webpage.

discovering new ideas through llms requires asking about them..

[Krzysztof Daniel @kda]

@u3m There is also the component of delivery. You need to be warm enough to be seen as helpful.

[Krzysztof Daniel @kda]

Absolutely disappointing result of my research about building a successful career.

It turns out the winning strategy is:
(1) Find a person that thinks you are a capable and cool person
(2) Ask where do they see biggest growth opportunities
(3) Ask for referral / intro

[Krzysztof Daniel @kda]

@u3m (2/2)

towards areas in which there is massive demand for effort and not enough people. Doing it continously enables you to land in a good place.

[Krzysztof Daniel @kda]

@u3m There were some interesting case studies about people stripped from wealth - and rebuilding it from scratch.

I hoped to discover something more specific - but it all boils down to immediate environment scanning and moving (1/2)
