On coding: something I learned when being a violinist with the San Diego Young Artists Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Mr. Campiglia:

Even at the dress rehearsal, it's okay to go "note by note".

Now that I'm learning coding, I'm understanding 1 line/bracket at a time: slowly.

[Michael V. Blumeyer @michaelblumeyer]

Some of the most down-to-earth places from my past can be the best "accelerators" when learning a new skill.

Entrepreneurship, violin, tennis, fitness, doing abs, coding, simulation....it's all out there....but it starts from within.

@ykn_romances @clopenloop I should have been taking my 365 Tao book lessons seriously lol

@besemer_amanda Be more honest about how and which areas the top players in each industry are already using AI, even if they say they don't. Hope you have a Wed full of super awesome surprises, Amanda.

[Michael V. Blumeyer @michaelblumeyer]

@besemer_amanda I appreciate you sharing that. A few years ago, I had that view as I began to see the LinkedIn posts cluttered with the em dash. AI has so many dimensions of debate too, which makes this such a deep topic. For posting, I do try to write and post genuinely, but I'm learning to..

[Michael V. Blumeyer @michaelblumeyer]

@besemer_amanda the deans and professors are like ganging up against AI, as if they're doing some LNKD brainwashing campaign to "play fair", while it wasn't really "fair" regarding the tuition and student debt we paid for.

[Michael V. Blumeyer @michaelblumeyer]

@besemer_amanda There's so much truth to this. A few years ago, I touched base with an ex-dean at a private university in California. He said the entire adminitration debated for hours on what their strategy was to sets the rules to minimize AI learning and usage. To this day..

@christinaqi his MPT dissertation final....but one of the professors said, "now we couldn't make you come out all this way and do all this for nothing".

[Michael V. Blumeyer @michaelblumeyer]

@christinaqi PhDs are also risky in a way (although I always liked the credential). You could sacrifice everything, but after 5-7 years if you have a bad , dissertation defense, no phd. Markozitz told me they left him in the hallway after his final for like 15-20min after..

Body or brains? Why not have both?

I think this is a fantastic idea, especially for the job searcher. I believe there's a social power dynamic in having people go to you. I'm curious as to what the hiring rate is. My hypothesis is it will be a win-win. Employers who "go to"
hire others can exp affirmation bias

[Education Week @educationweek]

Some schools have begun using “reverse career fairs,” in which students set up booths and display their skills for employers.

Supporters of the model say it helps students hone the ability to advocate for themselves, and that it creates more meaningful interactions between companies and students than traditional career fairs would allow.

“The skills students are learning, they transcend any vocation,” said Jason Van Nus, the CEO of the Win College and Career Academy, who has organized reverse career fairs in Georgia. “If you’re a plumber, a welder, or a banker, or a lawyer, you need to learn how to talk to people, and sell your skills.”

It can! The distinction here is know the difference between carelessness and being "foolish" (from Steve Jobs). The difference? Carelessness is being sloppy and assuming wins are locked-in. "Staying hungry and foolish" involves both growing exp and looking foolish short-term.

[John Cena @JohnCena]

Be aware that carelessness can compound faster than interest.

Pre-market reflection

Early lessons ethical stocks, prices gravitate to intrinsic value, stay in your means had partial truth.

Real growth came from questioning them, testing everything, and thinking independently.

That pioneer mindset built me as a self-made man I am today.

Spent a day visiting Santa Ana, CA. Really enjoyed it. 🧧😎

[Michael V. Blumeyer @michaelblumeyer]

Watching Steve Jobs on YouTube yesterday inspired me.

[Michael V. Blumeyer @michaelblumeyer]

I created my first app!

More on this soon.
