Some people need to hear this again. I've said it countless times before in pretty much all my videos over the last year(s): If you're serious about software engineering (i.e., you want to get or keep a job or get serious work done) => You NEED to be open...

.Ben Thompson gives his recommendation on how Meta should market Muse: "The way to frame this is to say: 'We're not helping you be more productive, we're helping you get rid of annoying crap in your life.'" "It needs to be framed more as a pain relief as opposed to this aspirational, 'I'm gonna be so productive and get things done.'" "People don't care about being productive. Employers care about their employees being productive. But once you're off the job, you just want to go home and watch TikTok." "The way I think this is going to land is through Instagram Reels or TikTok with people actually showing stuff they do and people say, 'That's amazing. That would make my life so much easier.'" "It really is a show-not-tell sort of technology."

Physicist steve hsu warns humanity may surrender power to AI completely voluntarily because the alternative is getting crushed by competitors who use it: "Gradual disempowerment, which I think people are intuitively aware of, but usually they've not seen it fully formulated this way." "Every single element of our society, whether you're a corporation, a military, a government, or even an individual trying to do well on the dating apps, if you have access to a superior intelligence, an AI, that you need to compete against all the other players, you're gonna start using that AI." "Gradually, even if nothing goes wrong, even if there's no evil AI or there's no AI hacking your systems, you literally are gonna surrender power to it because you will get better outcomes. If you don't surrender power to it, your competitors are gonna beat you. They're gonna crush you." "That's gradual disempowerment. It's gonna happen completely voluntarily as people just hand over power to AI."

Why you should probably hire an "AI Operations Lead," whose job is to make everyone at your company more productive using AI tools and workflows. "I sit with her once a week, and every time I'm doing something repetitively, we put it in a to-do list. She then builds prompts and workflows so that I and everyone else on the team are automating as much as possible. If you're working in a job all day, you're fighting fires, you're like, okay, am I gonna do this in the way that I know how, or am I gonna do it in the new way that might not work? Having an AI ops lead lets, you basically identify those things and then have them solved, without people who are doing the work having to take time to do it. Which makes it much more likely it happens." — Dan Shipper 📧

McGowan: It’s like when you play monopoly and somebody has all of the hotels on the whole board, and it doesn't matter if you're playing the game right, it doesn't matter if you're doing what you're supposed to do, it doesn't matter if you get the education, if you get the job, you are still always going to lose. That is where we are in America right now, and that is not how we should want to be. And I'm saying capitalism is a wonderful system if it is working, it is not currently working for the American people.

I love this idea from Jason Fried "Your only competition is your costs." Keep costs low, keep the team small, make stuff you want to use. You don't need the whole world: “A business is very simple. You got to make more than you spend. If you're making more than you spend, then your competition is your cost. That's what you're really in business against, how much it costs you to stay in business. It's not all the other alternatives that are on the market. You can't control what they're going to put out there, what they're going to price it at, all the things they're going to do. They're going to do what they're going to do. What I can control is how much it costs me to run my business, how much I sell my product for, and as long as I make more than I spend, I get to stay in business. And isn't that what this is all about, staying in business? That's what it's all about because I like this. I want to keep doing this. I can't keep doing it if I don't stay in business. I can't keep doing it if I make less than it costs me to make the things that I make. So I'm always thinking about the only competition I really have on an annual basis is to make sure that we make more as a company than it costs us to run the company. That's my real competition.”

Elon Musk: I don't need a source of strength. If something's important, we should keep doing it or die trying. Lex Fridman: “Where do you go to both personally, intellectually, as an engineer, as a team, for source of strength needed to persevere through this and to keep going with the project, take it to completion?” Elon: “That's really not how I think about things. I mean, for me it's simply, this is something that is important to get done and we should just keep doing it or die trying. I don't need a source of strength. Quitting is not in my nature. And I don't care about optimism or pessimism. Fuck that. We're going to get it done.” Interview with Lex Fridman, December 28, 2021

Lulu Cheng Meservey says if you're going to warn people AI will take half their jobs, the one rule is don't smile while you say it. "A lot of CEOs are describing that AI will cause massive job loss. Most people will look at that and say, don't say that." "I look at it a little bit differently. If you believe that it'll cause massive job loss, and you're in that rare position, I think you do have an obligation to warn people and to try to get us to prepare for it." "But the really small but really important thing is, don't look happy when you're saying it. Don't be smiling when you say there's going to be a 50% unemployment rate in a year."

Jordan Peterson: "If you're competent and silent you will be ignored." "You might think well people should reward you because you're competent. And yes of course they should. But if you're competent and silent then you're just part of the background that's keeping everything functioning" On why you cannot negotiate from a position of weakness: "If you want to push your career forward you have to push it forward. You have to be competent and you have to be strategic" "To be strategic when you negotiate for a new position or a new salary you have to be able to say if you don't give me what I want then something you don't like will happen to you" "It's not a physical threat. It's that you have an option" "You have your CV in order. You're educated and competent and desirable to people outside of your immediate job. You're willing to instantly put yourself on the job market" "So that when you go talk to the person you're negotiating with you're credible" On the one thing most people completely miss about negotiation: "It's very seldom that you're talking to the person who's at the top of the pecking order. What you need to do is tell them a story that they can tell to their boss to make you not a problem" "A good story is look we really need this person because they're hyper competent and they have a better offer" "If you go in there with no power you're going to lose. Obviously" He concludes with the one thing every competent person needs to hear: "The first thing you need to know if you're going to negotiate is that you have to be able to say no. And what no means is that you're not going to do it"

Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas says women should be ashamed if they aren't contributing financially or making their man’s life easier “The idea of this is what attracts you to get what I want, it's just prostitution in a sense. But at some point, I don't want you. You're not an equal. You're just a taker. You're not making my life easier. You're making it harder” “If you are a stay at home wife or girlfriend, then you need to understand what that means. When I come home, is the house clean and the suitcase packed? Are the clothes clean and folded? Do your part to make the entity's life easier. That is the point” “If you're not going to put into making money with me, helping me make money, working with me, or working for me. If I have an assistant, as a woman you should be ashamed of yourself. If your NBA husband, your CEO husband, whatever the fuck he is, has an assistant and that's not your fucking job, nah” “Women, if this what you say when someone says, ‘Hey, what do you bring?’ and you say, ‘I bring the table,’ get the fuck out. I have a table, all the fucking chairs, I have the food. Now what do you bring?” “There are eight billion people in the world. As a woman, I don't need you to say, ‘I can't afford that.’ If you can't afford it, find a dude who wants to pay all your bills. I'm looking for someone who wants to be equal because equal means I'm going to treat you equal” “If I'm paying all your bills, you really have no value to me and I'm going to keep fucking whoever I want to fuck. You have no rules over me. Now, if we’re 50-50 you are valued, which means I'm not going to jeopardize this for that”

A young boy's rant about living in USA. Also a message for Indians who are obsessed to go to USA in search of alleged "Better life" There's no point in living in the U.S. anymore. Think about it, bruh, the obsession with productivity, the obsession with money, the obsession with status, the obsession with being better than the next person instead of better together. The obsession with competing with other people instead of just comparing who you truly were to who you were a year ago. Everything is monetized, everything is politicized, everything is divided. Even empathy feels conditional. And what really gets me is the way this country treats immigrants. Or better yet, the way it lies about why it treats immigrants the way it does. They act like people are breaking into some sacred paradise, like people are desperate to get into something holy. For what? For debt? For rent that eats half your paycheck? For healthcare that bankrupts you? For a system that does not protect you unless you're useful to it? Bro, people don't come here because America is amazing. They come here because America marketed itself better than it treated people. Remember, America is not a country, it's a business. And now the mask is slipping. What this country actually values is not freedom, it's control. Not life, labor. Not community, consumption. You're free as long as you don't disrupt anything. You're welcome as long as you're profitable. You're human as long as you're quiet. We only respect you if you're valuable and you're easy to conform and control. And if you don't fit the mold, if you question it, if you refuse to worship the system, you're told to be grateful, you're told to shut up, you're told it could be worse, you're told you're crazy. That's the bar. It could be worse. It could be worse? What? I don't hate America. I'm just disappointed in it, bro, because it could have been so much more. It should be so much more. But instead of evolving, it doubled down. Instead of healing, it hardened. Instead of listening, it punished. Instead of building community, instead of building unity, it sells isolation and calls it independence. And I'm at a point in my life where I don't want to just survive inside a system that drains me and calls it opportunity. I want peace, I want community, I want unity, I want love, I want connection, I want affordability. I want to live, bro, I want to live. I'm tired of living in survival mode, bro. I'm tired of having to constantly brace myself for the worst, bro. And look, if that makes me ungrateful, so be it. So f*cking be it. If that makes people uncomfortable, good, because pretending like this is the greatest country on earth while people are drowning is a load of f*cking bullshit. It is not patriotism, it is denial. And I am done lying to myself about that. And until this country actually values life over profit, safety over status, people over systems, connection over individuality, I don't see a reason to stay quiet and I don't see a reason to stay

Founders School is a new high school where tuition is $150k a year, but if students don't hit $1M in gross profit by graduation, they get their tuition back. Nat Eliason says AI will make this possible: "AI is the big thing that removes the bottleneck around why a 17-year-old can't build a million-dollar business." "You don't need to spend as long developing deep expertise in programming or software development because, certainly for a V1, you can prompt a lot of it." "You don't need to raise a ton of money for hiring, design, buildout, or any of these things. Because again, you can get an initial version going with AI." "So if you can just use AI to get started, and get your business going, you take out a lot of the capital requirements, a lot of the expertise build-up requirements, and it just shortens the timeline. It makes a lot more things possible for them."

Intercom CEO Eoghan McCabe: "You don't have a choice. AI is going to disrupt you in the most aggressive, violent ways. If you're not in it, you're about to get kicked out of all of it. My strongest advice is that you need to bring in the young talent. AI is kind of a young person's game. You're competing with young companies that are in part AI, run by kids in their twenties, literally working 12 hours a day, literally 365 days a year. These younger companies know how to use AI in ways that the older companies don't. Companies of our generation, people in most organizations, particularly non-technical organizations, they're not using any AI. Maybe they're starting to use ChatGPT to write a job description. But they're not doing it by default."

Naval Ravikant: "The only true test of intelligence is if you get what you want out of life" "There are two parts to that. One is getting what you want, so you know how to get it. The second is wanting the right things, knowing what to want in the first place. I could want to be a 6'8" basketball player and I'm not going to get that. That's wanting something you can't get. But there's also wanting something that's a booby prize, prizes that are just not worth having, or that create their own problems." Naval explains how people end up in places they never meant to be: "If you're not careful, you can end up in a place in life not only that you don't want to be, but one you didn't even mean to get to. Usually people end up there because they're going on autopilot with societal expectations. Or out of guilt. Or out of mimetic desire, our desires are picked up from other people. Go to law school, go to med school, go to business school. Or it might be what your parents expect. Guilt is just society's voice speaking in your head so you'll be a good little monkey." He shares a problem most people have: "We run on these four-year cycles. You join a startup, you vest over four years. College is four years. High school is four years. You go to law school, that's a 5-year cycle. You become a lawyer, that's a 40-year cycle. These are very long cycles. But the amount of time we spend deciding what to do and who to do it with? Very short. We spend one month deciding on a job where we're going to be for 10 years." Naval's rule: "If you're making a four-year decision, spend a year thinking it through. Really thinking it through. 25% of the time." He explains the Secretary Theorem: "It turns out the optimal time to search is about a third. By a third of the way through, you've seen enough to know what the bar is. Then anybody who meets or exceeds that bar is good enough. But here's the key: it's not time-based. It's iteration-based. You need to take opportunities quickly and bail out quickly. If you look at failed relationships, the biggest regret is usually staying after you knew it was over." Naval reframes the 10,000 hour rule: "Malcolm Gladwell popularized 10,000 hours to mastery. I'd say it's actually 10,000 iterations to mastery. Iteration is not repetition. Repetition is doing the same thing over and over. Iteration is modifying it with learning and doing another version. That's error correction. If you get 10,000 error corrections in anything, you will be an expert." On pessimism vs. optimism: "You want to be skeptical about specific things, every specific opportunity is probably a fail. But you want to be optimistic in the general. Something in here is going to work out. If something fails, it was a learning experience. It was an iteration. As long as you learned something, it's a win. You don't want to jump into the first thing. But once you find the match, you have to be willing to go all in. Move your chips to the center of the table." He concludes: "Most people are stuck in this gray bit. 'I'm half in, but I don't really know.' That doesn't work. It's a barbell strategy, black or white. Explore quickly, cut losses fast. Then when you find the right thing, compound into it."

Ansem explains why you need to learn AI right now “AI is going to make everybody 10x more efficient at whatever it is that they’re doing” “If you’re concerned about your job… you need to get up to speed and become an expert at using AI as fast as possible” “There’s going to be people who choose not to do that and people who do. In a few years, people are going to look at AI the same way as being able to use the internet” “Obviously someone who knows how to use the internet is a way better candidate than someone who doesn’t, it’s going to be the same with AI” “Whenever you have these technological breakthroughs happen, you create more jobs that didn’t even exist before. I think AI is going to do that more so than displace people”

"I don't want to work. I don't want to dissect your dialogue. I don't want to wait it out and see if you're going to get to the point. I want you to get to the point." Anne Lamott will follow a writer anywhere…as long as they don't bore her or confuse her along the way. "You can do anything if you can get away with it, if you don't lose me." She then issues a warning: “A confused or a bored reader is an antagonistic reader."

The secret to longevity is having meaningful work and meaningful relationships. I’ve found that both are required to sustain the energy to keep operating at a high level. That’s because you need a genuine, shared passion to make what you're doing as great as it can be. And you need to pursue that work with people you genuinely care about and who genuinely care about you. If you have those two things working in tandem, you have the basis for a life of continuous evolution, which is ultimately what longevity is all about.

Ethan Evans (ex-Amazon VP) on his Director promo: "So I said, my career is very important to me. I need to understand how important it is to Amazon because if it's not as important to Amazon as it is to me, I need to think about that. And you know, I need to think about that isn't a direct threat. But you laughed. Everyone understands. But I'm not doing it in a way that is easily easy for him to push back on. See, if I say, well, if it's not as important to you, making it personal with him, if it's not important to you as it is to me, then I might quit. That's a threat. And all managers are going to be like, hey, you can't extort me, right? That isn't how it works right? He pushed the promotion through." Ethan Evans Ryan: "When you say that wording, I feel the effects of extortion a bit, right? But I couldn't, I could not label it extortion."
