New generation of ladies who are gossiping about distributed systems, FP, pragmatic architecture, chaos engineering and fast data analytics.

[Lena Hall @lenadroid]

things that are underrated:

1. bootstrapped profitable founders

[Lena Hall @lenadroid]

some recent patterns I’m seeing talking to founders and business owners

- founders open sourcing their products

- startups pivoting from b2b saas to hardware, biotech, or media/marketplaces

- more extreme polarity of optimism and doomerism

When anyone can build anything, how do you make something people actually choose?

At AGNTCon I talked about why building something great is only half the job.

My favorite part is always the conversations afterward. Grateful I got to share the stage with @techgirl1908 and @sarah_edo.

One of the things I talked about is public signal. What people actually understand and remember about your product.

We have so much content now, but how much of it actually helps people understand what we’re building?

AI summarizes and remixes your content, leaves out important details, or exaggerates small things until customers start hearing promises you never made.

And somehow, genuinely different products end up sounding exactly the same.

So if your product isn’t converting, maybe you don’t need more content or better distribution. Maybe you need to understand what people are actually hearing about your product, and whether that’s what you intended.

This is one of my favorite problems to help teams solve, so let’s chat!

@renebrandel happy birthday René!

novelty search, for humans

you throw away the traditional goal metric and exclusively reward the agent for doing something that has never been done in the archive before

[Lena Hall @lenadroid]

everyone is building RL environments for agents

who’s building the ones that force humans to stop thinking like mid-level engineers and actually generate novel ideas?

we need RL playgrounds for adults to stretch novelty and creativity

[Lena Hall @lenadroid]

@rabata_io speed is just another way to do anything faster
