Next year, I will assign one of my jira tickets to every kid in America. This will be the first of many.

It makes me sick when I see a Lambda being used when there's a native AWS integration available.

do you think genghis khan had a dashboard to give him operational insights

Not enough people are talking about how much AI is impacting the role of data science. I was chatting with a DS friend, and he said that most of his team's work now is reviewing half-assed AI data analysis from PMs and engineers. And that 50% of the time, that analysis is wrong. The role is becoming less fun.

If I wasn't building my company, I'd probably take a Head of Community role at a startup or VC firm That role is such a good mix of fun and impact

the current state of production design in tech is laptop, table, books, wall

Good lord man i've never been more excited about software and bearish on the people building it in my life All of the new "AI for this" slop companies come out are hilarious because people will realize it's: latest frontier model + prompt injection +UI = $30/mo crap SaaS app SAAS IS DEAD, EVERYONE is going to be using their own agents / custom stuff!!! And I mean everyone! Go work on real shit and make the world a better place because I guarantee almost none of these "AI for marketing/sales/design" etc., apps are lasting more than 18 months.

yo, remember that ops person who manually processed feedback, did inbox triage, summarized responses, updated sheets, nudged people, & moved tickets amount other things? yeah, that person is no longer necessary. however you feel about it the economic reality is simple.. the long tail of gruntwork that justified whole strata of roles is getting eaten by a tiny llm + triggers + glue. this product decapitates the need for low leverage headcount. imagine telling a founder even in 2018 that a ~$0 marginal cost intern who never sleeps will handle: - form submissions - summarizing daily inputs - ticket hygiene - routing - basic analysis - drafting - inbox grooming - reporting …all without sucking up management bandwidth. jesus christ.
