Skipping AI is not going to help you or your career
I just saw a post on Simon Willison’s blog where he linked to “Don’t fall into the anti-AI hype”. And I pretty much agree on what antirez writes there: Whatever you believe about what the Right Thing should be, you can’t control it by refusing what is happening right now. Skipping AI is not going…

You Don’t Need to be the Boss to Influence
I just read Influence Without Authority: How to Get People to Listen Without Being the Boss from Bri Chapman. Most people think influence comes from a title. From being the person who approves budgets, signs off on decisions, or sits at the top of an org chart. But that’s not how it actually works. Bri…

Blogs Have Become to Me What LinkedIn Should Be
To me, LinkedIn was supposed to be the professional network — a place for thoughtful discussion about work related stuff and genuine connection. Yet, over the years, it feels that the content and tone has shifted for engagement (“what do you think?”, “how do you do it?”), self glorification (“especially after quitting a company and…
