The AI tools you're using today won't get you a raise tomorrow. But productivity gains should translate into earnings gains Think of it like any software investment: 1 to 3 year ROI horizon. Document what you shipped. Quantify what you saved. Make it visible at review time.

Oracle just laid off 30,000 people to fund AI. The ones still there are absorbing all of that weight, they should reap the future upside too. Don't make future bets without investing in the talent to make it happen.

Everyone's saying B2B SaaS is dead. I don't think it's that simple. 3 things are still defensible: 1. Unique data 2. A layout people don't want to rebuild 3. A built-in audience One more thing nobody’s talking about: nearly every AI app is single-user, most B2B software isn't.

Going to the DMV is one of the worst customer support experiences. It doesn’t make you feel that government cares at all.

I'm running for District 3 Supervisor! San Francisco has its challenges. I'm fed up too, but more motivated than ever to help fix this city we all love. I'll fight for: ✅ Abundant and affordable housing ✅ Public safety for all ✅ Clean, vibrant neighborhoods

Not sure what to make of @glassdoor branding agency approaching the illustrator we used at @careerpuck 2 years prior. Our illos from @jaycover, theirs are not from Jay.

1 / At Puck, we believe that the hiring process should be about people. “Find your people” was founded upon the idea that there is a more human way to hire the best candidates – one that captures the culture and character that makes a team what it is.
I'm not sure if I should be flattered or not that @Glassdoor ripped off our brand at @careerpuck.

Is there a wrong way to use AI in recruiting? Yes. ✅ I share on my Forbes post on what has dominated my twitter feed for the last 6 months. #Recruiting #AItips forbes.com/sites/forbestechc…

Autonomous vehicles aren't going to retrofit existing cars. If you're building new cars, you're going to use debt financing. Even with an inverted yield curve, your cost of capital is MUCH higher today than 2 years ago. And also.... semafor.com/article/04/11/20…

Interest rates are inversely related to the unemployment. So, I know 0 about driver acquisition costs today. But, I'd guess building AVs and human fleets together are cheaper than building AVs on its own.

In working on this, I heard thoughtful arguments on both sides. The incredible hire that the company just HAS to stretch for, and the scores of people who didn’t realize what they were leaving on the table. ⚖️

Thank you Mayor @sliccardo, and thank you especially for your tireless service--no one has worked harder for our community over the last 16 years. You've moved us forward on so many fronts and been a model of thoughtful, independent, and ethical leadership.
Mayor Mahan will be a collaborative, dynamic, & thoughtful leader, who will ensure that our government works just as hard as the families we serve. It's no secret that I'm thrilled with Matt's election, because San José's future will be in good hands.
