@mrdbrd He went to a few other author pages to copy names as well, but I don't know how he was picking them. Palahniuk was just the first one I saw and also a funny one given my sense that he was working on some kind of AI hustle.
@mrdbrd At the diner the other day I saw a guy sitting with his laptop at the counter copy Chuck Palahniuk's name from his author page on Audible and paste it into some kind of LLM interface.
@mrdbrd Something that’s worked for me is framing conversations with managers as syncing on priorities. Talk track is basically, “I’m a little worried about getting through everything that’s on my plate, but here’s my sense of which deliverables are most/least important. Do you agree?”
@mrdbrd Yeah, this is probably a very tough time to be an individual contributor as so many companies are operating under budget constraints (often self-imposed, but still).
