Anthropic Forward Deployed Engineer Interview Guide 2026

[Naomi Saphra @nsaphra]

I am begging people who write like LLMs to read Style: Clarity and Grace. Or this 4-pager on character/action grammar. It's not about "genuinely" or "honestly". The tics flag obfuscatory, out-of-order sentences. It's hard to evaluate if they mean anything. https://t.co/zzPJkcsi0R

[Ed Leon Klinger @edleonklinger]

I've been tinkering with an AI to increase my “luck surface area” (basically, to find interesting opportunities that exist across my entire network) and the results are ... pretty interesting.

Built on my corpus of personal & professional data - everyone I’ve met with, emailed, talked to, thousands of call notes, LinkedIn connections, emails, Slacks etc. Plus it does its own desk research on my contacts overnight (did that by itself without being asked, weirdly).

Example - it suggested I introduce Marco (an insurtech founder, hiring for multiple roles) to Ben (an insurance headhunter I really rate). It pieced that together through a combo of Granola transcripts, emails, LinkedIn messages, and internal Slack messages.

Powered by a social graph algorithm that scores relationships and potential intros - based on things like relationship strength, recency, communication style, and “likely-mutual-value”, etc.

I left it running overnight, and it:
> found people who have helped me with intros & advice, but where that help hasn't been reciprocated by me - then it suggested actions I could take to repay the favours
> remembered that a colleague described her ideal mentor to me in a meeting *a year ago* - found someone in my network with the exact right experience, and drafted an intro
> surfaced a bunch of insights about my own life - like a drop-off in social & fitness activity since becoming a dad(!) - and set up a local run club on WhatsApp

The suggestions are… surprisingly good! And devoid of the usual AI slop.

I talk a lot about luck surface area - putting yourself in situations where good things tend to magically happen. This is the first time I’ve built something that actually tries to increase that surface area for me and my network.

I’m quite encouraged by the results, and it was surprisingly easy to build (with @claudeai, of course). Happy to share how for anyone who is interested in building their own.

[Soumitra Sharma @soumitra_sharma]

I realized too late in my career that we all need to learn sales, irrespective of our profession or vocation.

In 2019, after more than a decade of what would be normally called a successful career track (pedigree, logos, scale, $$$), I went back to the drawing board and started self-training myself in sales (& marketing too) from scratch.

I can vouch that every point in this top @hackernews post on “How to do sales?” is true, and amazingly distilled to its simplest essence.

So much so that I have printed it out, kept it on my desk, to be reviewed each day.

Btw, it’s a real travesty that top universities and early-career jobs hardly provide any practical sales skills or training to young talent. I have seen this both in the US and India, and it’s a major gap in our learning systems.

We're making Git hosting more reliable, performant, and scalable.

This post traces 20 years of Git infrastructure and explains how that history led us to design and operate our Git storage, Origin, as if it were a database.
