Now more than ever, we stand with Muslim Californians celebrating Eid al-Adha this week.
Jen and I send our best wishes for peace, compassion, and joy in the days ahead, along with a safe return for those completing the Hajj pilgrimage.
Eid Mubarak!
Brian on why pure people managers won't survive AI:
"I don't think people that only manage people will have any value in the future.
Everyone's going to have to be a hybrid people manager or manager IC.
In other words, even the managers need to code. You can't just be these managers where you're people's therapists and you're just doing meetings, just one-on-ones.
People who have lots of recurring one-on-ones are not going to survive.
That kind of leadership style is not gonna work. You need to have context.
I hear about heads of design, they don't actually manage the design. Johnny Ive manages the design. He designs and he leads people. A design leader who only manages the people that's crazy to me.
The way Frank Lloyd managed his design team is through the work. You don't manage the people, you manage the work.
I think a lot of people will survive this age of AI.
The two types of people that will not survive are pure people managers, and people that are rigid and don't want to change and evolve."

Once you drive a Tesla, it’s like driving an all-seeing sensor with a super computer behind the scenes doing all the decision making, driving and navigation. Also, you never have to go to a gas station.
Stanford paid 35,000 people to quit Facebook and Instagram for 6 weeks
Depression dropped. Anxiety dropped. Happiness went up. Women under 25 on Instagram saw the biggest gains
That was 6 weeks. I'm going a full year.
The situation for Palestinians in Gaza is beyond description, beyond atrocious & beyond inhumane.
A policy of siege & starvation makes a mockery of international law. The blockade against humanitarian aid must end immediately.
This is a moment for moral clarity & action.
