Thank you so much to @DCALive for the award! I am humbled and honored to be named one of DC’s Power Women of Tech.

[mcg @marcdhi]

A senior engineer with 15 years of experience told me she starts panicking on the 20th of every month.

I asked why.

She said her GitHub Copilot AI credits are almost exhausted by then, and without it, she literally cannot deliver work anymore.

15 years of experience. Panicking because an AI subscription is running low.

And I’m not laughing at her. I’m thinking about what this actually means.

Every company right now is quietly building a workforce that is 100% dependent on AI to write code, make decks, draft emails, do literally everything they used to do with their own hands and brain.

And the AI providers know this.

Once that dependency is deep enough and it already is for a lot of people, you will pay whatever they charge. Because the alternative is not being able to do your job at all.

We’ve seen it with cloud, with SaaS, with every platform that became infrastructure.

The difference this time is it’s not companies locked into a vendor. It’s individual human beings locked out of their own skills.

That's why I tell people to just build an AI Agent that scrapes from Jobs from Non-Workday sites. I have a free e-book that teaches you how to do it.

AI is making kids dumber.

It should be making them geniuses.

Is anyone hiring office managers for their IRL office in SF?

Someone great who helped a founder grow her practice as the cos/office manager over 10 years is looking for a new gig

how to use linkedin during a job search:

>pick 2 or 3 topics you want to be known for
>post about them consistently
>post on the day and time your network is most active
>let it signal boost you to the recruiters already looking

@callanable This is really interesting. I haven’t heard this perspective before. Thanks for sharing!

[Tracy King @stack_tracy_]

@Brutal_Realist_ @pensandpoison Yeah, I don’t know exactly how the conversation went down but saying, “I have always enjoyed Dostoyevsky” just tells me your reading interests whereas mentioning your age is the equivalent of intellectual name dropping. And no one likes a name dropper. It lacks authenticity.

@Hampshirelass44 @RealPostFolder Thank you for sharing all this 🫶

@speakfilms Also, bloomers are back and they aren’t panties. Tell me you don’t know fashion without telling me you don’t know fashion.

[Tracy King @stack_tracy_]

@speakfilms For real!! Maybe she is feeling low and torn apart from being exploited and she is expressing herself with these movements. Regardless, it’s not sexual because she said it wasn’t.

@Hampshirelass44 @RealPostFolder I have never heard of this - what is it like?

[taylor desseyn @tdesseyn]

after reviewing probably 10k+ resumes in my career

people dont realize that everything is weighted on the first page

the most pertinent information should be in the top third of your resume

most decision makers decide to call you after the first page

[solst/ICE of Astarte @IceSolst]

If you list side projects on your resume, I immediately move you to the next stage

@techgirl1908 @nnennahacks Cool!

Ten lazy years can disappear the moment you lock in. Six months of discipline can erase a decade of drifting. Momentum is magic. It turns yesterday's failures into tomorrow's fuel.
