If you thought AI progress was slowing down, well here's the immediate answer to that. Huge jump in capability across the board. This is going to deliver major improvement in agents across almost all knowledge work categories.

@polotek No one wants to pay for the seasoning or development of talent. They just want it to apparate from somewhere with 3+ years of experience.

@KristyT Whoa! That kitchen is inspiring, warm n inviting. A thing of beauty

[taylor desseyn @tdesseyn]

i see so many people in tech

wanting that next title

wanting that next promotion

wanting that next salary raise

but i see so many people that when they get to the top they feel empty.

enjoy the process my friends. that's where the happiness is.

[Evol Greaves @pgevol]

@KristyT Flawless execution! I saw that quite a few of my video connects were at the helm. Kudos to the whole team.

[Evol Greaves @pgevol]

Yup. It was certainly demoralizing.

International students in the US are legally not allowed to start a business and earn income

Same with people on a work visa tied to a specific employer - it is illegal for them to start a side hustle

Fixing this would be a huge win for entrepreneurship in this country

[Evol Greaves @pgevol]

This is great, Marco! Thanks for sharing.

Another blog post I've been sitting on for a while. A question I get asked often is how managers actually evaluate engineers. That's a long answer. But we can at least talk abut some expectations that engineers often overlook.

@polotek I’ve had this for a few years. Great investment. Sturdy construction, waterproof, practical compartments, small enough to be a daily backpack, expandable for travel https://t.co/YPic6vKZ3i

Reason #1 why I chose software engineering.

I keep remembering this from my dad:

“Go into a profession where the cost of starting a business is close to zero. I’m a chemist and have so many business ideas. But it’s close to impossible to go on it on your own here, as the lab equipment to prototype sets you back $1-10M.

[Evol Greaves @pgevol]

@KristyT @PKodmad @techgirl1908 I sensed a shift in discourse too, but couldn’t quite put a finger on it. I was starting to wonder if I’d just aged out of staying connected to the community or if things just got so fragmented, it made it harder to keep up.

@Blaize79 Are you devout to your current industry or open to opportunities in other verticals?

[Kristy Tillman @KristyT]

I wish certain folks on here would stop speaking for "tech" and just talk about their experience.

[Evol Greaves @pgevol]

Coming soon…

Crypto investing, but better.
