🚨 Do you understand what happened in the last 12 hours?

> A CEO of a $200 billion company said on camera that 35% of new grads won't find jobs. He didn't even flinch saying it.

> Meta made $165 billion last year and is still firing 15,000 people because apparently record profit isn't profitable enough.

> Some random guy in Florida sold his entire house in 5 days using ChatGPT. No real estate agent, no commission, no experience. Just vibes and a $20 subscription.

> A man in Australia cured his dying dog's cancer with AI after every single vet told him there was nothing left to do. Built a custom vaccine from his couch.

> The guy who created Uber and left 300,000 taxi drivers broke is back. Building robots now because apparently ruining one industry wasn't enough.

> Tinder wants access to your camera roll. Your drunk photos, your 3am notes app meltdowns, your deleted selfies. They're calling it a "vibe check."

> Naval, the man who made hundreds of millions investing in software, just said software is dead. Four words and the entire industry felt it.

> And Anthropic removed the limit on how long their AI can think and then doubled everyone's usage for free. Because when the product is addictive enough you give the first taste away.

All of that happened today. Not this week, not this quarter. Today. A random Saturday in March.

This is worse than you being on meth.

@BashirAhmaad @DejiAdesogan It is appalling that you chose to blame an ISP rather than address weak links in our security architecture. Starlink collects NIN, they have done their part of KYC, security agencies can take up this issue from here

I woke up to a compromise on my @getProspa business account on Sunday 5th Feb 2023. My entire balance (929,000NGN) at the time had been fraudulently transferred to 2diff @gtbank accounts. @ChiomaUO @welldonefred @zonner55 @cenbank @officialEFCC

@theIniDeb mtcheew, sometimes you got no one to blame but yourself😢

As you become an adult, you realize that things around you weren't just always there; people made them happen. But only recently have I started to internalize how much tenacity *everything* requires. That hotel, that park, that railway. The world is a museum of passion projects.

How technical do you need to be to be an Engineering Manager?

Most people will tell you VERY.

I think not. You can be an avg engineer + a great EM. In fact, if you’re too technical of a manager it could hurt you.

Speaking as a software engineer turned manager, here’s why:

The product-led customer journey starts much before a customer actually signs up to try your product.

Tomorrow never comes? Oh, it does! But by the time it arrives, it’s name changes to “today”. Smart people shape it in their imagination, while it’s called “tomorrow”. They have concrete dreams, create plans and take action. No wonder today works in their favour. Be smart.
