@patrickroziel@angelongonyama Literally. I don’t understand why he is complaining about someone’s religious experience. It is already so hard for people to be torn between culture and religion while everyone sees them in binaries. God forbid someone has a complex identity
AI is so popular because it gives uncreative people the illusion that they are creative. It lets them skip right to the part where they get validation. It’s not only parasitic, but extremely narcissistic.
If you are running a consulting business and you are deploying Anthropic or OpenAI directly into your organization (I’m looking at you PwC and Accenture) you are letting the fox into the hen house.
OpenAI and Anthropic are openly funding and starting competitors to you while also using your usage to drive more success for them.
This is not a failure on their part but a failure on your part.
Consulting businesses that understand this are adopting a control plane that allows them to arbitrate where tokens go and who generates tokens for them.
Controlling the tokens is controlling the spice (Dune).
This was a key pillar of 8090’s global partnership with EY and they key feature of our Software Factory. We control token generation and can direct them to any model provider.
We are close to another global partnership and will announce it soon.
These organizations refuse to accept the disruption standing still or, even worse, by adopting and accelerating the companies who want to disrupt them.
Underrated life advice: Make yourself easy to root for. Be kind. Be reliable. Celebrate other people’s wins. Work hard without complaining. Carry good energy into rooms. You'll be shocked by how many doors open for you by making life better for others.
Cursor pays engineers $1,100,000 a year to run teams of AI agents that ship code while they sleep.
[The CEO of Cursor explained in 9 minutes how they ship at 100x speed using team of agents]
↓ Save this before everyone copies the playbook
1. Engineers no longer babysit one assistant. They manage dozens of agent colleagues working in parallel, each on its own remote machine
2. Validation contract before code, not after. Humans only at scoping and review.
3. The agent team handles the full loop : planning, coding, testing, shipping PRs with each agent specialised for a role.

Love this reminder from @tfadell
"Makers often focus on the shiny object—the product they’re building—and forget about the rest of the journey until they’re almost ready to deliver it to the customer. But customers see it all, experience it all. They’re the ones taking the journey, step-by-step."
A role I feel is now 10x more valuable is the forward-deployed engineer.
Taste, architecture, and the ability to communicate a solution are more important than ever.
Someone with deep understanding who can therefore consult on how to do something properly is very high leverage.
Forward Deployed Engineer is the hottest, and one of the most in-demand, jobs right now.
Every major AI company is hiring including companies like @OpenAI@cognition@AnthropicAI and @Google
If you possess a combination of soft skills (good communication), have an engineering background, and are up to speed on the latest and greatest in agentic coding you're probably able to land one of them.
They pay well and offer a foot in the door to some of the fastest growing companies in the world.
