The post tracks two rather different things. AI is almost certainly the hottest topic in tech right now, just like mobile was hot after the iPhone launched or cloud was a decade ago. AI-generated text is a separate complaint, and it's

I already answered this, but responding led me down a path to a better answer both for me, and our product. I said last week that we were working (at this+that) on building and maintaining a db of operating knowledge for companies. A crispe

AI may indeed lead to a barbell shaped distribution - lots of people with modest skills and the need for lots of awesome people. But I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. One of the problems with the "middle class&quo

I'm working on making unstructured operating knowledge maintain itself. If a customer's phone number changes, that goes in the CRM. But if a salesperson learns the customer is planning to open new locations, everyone else who talk

Reviewer burden is the right diagnosis and the rule doesn't really address it. Oracle's own FAQ concedes that reliably telling AI content from human content is impossible. So reducing volume depends on people honestly checking the

I 100% agree with this (and remember Bob from my time at Facebook, too!). Picking the right problem matters, but I also think there's an underlying quest for status that leads to a lot of productivity theatre. People think -- and right

My two cents here is that if you're trying to growth hack yourself, you need to be on a platform that's also growth hacking. Building an audience anywhere is genuinely hard. Algorithmic feeds like those on LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.

I think ACM should give everything away for free. US taxpayers pay for a lot of research and the previous administration required that government funded research be published and made freely available. See https://bidenwhitehouse

Completely agree. The worst sort of manager is the one who wants to stay "high level" and proposes things that either aren't possible or are vastly harder than their idea to "just do X" suggests. And the root cause

Author here. People are speculating about when the first solo founder will build a billion dollar business. I think it ties back to Coase's "The Nature of the Firm" and the question of why companies exist at all. The gig econ

Articles like this are exactly why I doubt that SWE jobs are going away. The SWE job of 2026 doesn't look like one from 2020, let alone 1990 so why would anyone believe the false dichotomy that either the SWE jobs of 2026 will remain o
