Rarely do I see a job description that TRULY needs X years of experience— it is often a proxy for someone knowing certain skills and the maturity in their growth
If you are using YoE as a proxy, stop. My DMs are open and I will help rephrase your job description

my hot take is that everyone wants to use chat interfaces because they lack the fortitude to learn or the existing skillset for UX design (and/or contorting themselves around chat completions)
My SO's startup has a product hunt launch today with a WebMCP-native AI chat widget built in vanilla JS

The nemotron 3 release might become my favorite release of the year. if super (~120B) and ultra (~480B) keep their promise, it will be the first time in history that we have a model at the frontier with this level of openness
what is interesting here is that they are not just looking at being frontier on "benchmark", they want to have the most USEFUL model, you see it at how they design the model, MTP for speculative decoding, LatentMoE for efficient training/inference, Hybrid model for long context (up to 1M), quantization (both in training with NVFP4 and for inference) ect..
It's nearly the end of 2025 and gmail still doesn't have a feature in iOS to hyperlink text
can someone let an intern, SWE I/II at that with cursor or claude code?

Got the old crew back together for a very silly idea - an #ai only #FantasyFootball League.
@crtr0, @rickyrobinett, @greggyb, @dkundel, @chefbrent, @bpartridge, @SwiftAlphaOne, @kevinwhinnery let one model run an entire season.

"Product adoption is built with goodwill from the developer communities and aided by being transparent in how technology works in addressing potential concerns early." @PreciselyAlyss 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 bit.ly/3UtTUL2
I'm so appreciative of the Heavybit team for hosting this talk and their work to publish it with a transcript.
If you're hoping to start an AI dev tools startup or looking at how to make marketing investments for your existing product, this can support your journey!
The talk you've all been waiting for...🚀 You can now rewatch @PreciselyAlyss' talk on how the GitHub GTM team launched Copilot in an ever-evolving landscape of AI developer tools and what you should consider when building your own product. bit.ly/3UtTUL2

🤖 2023 was the year of AI and we published a lot of content around it. Now you can find all of the resources, featuring @PreciselyAlyss, @_cartermp, @nora_js, @AmandaBrockUK, and more, in one place and bookmark it as we continue to update the collection. bit.ly/3vNmpJB
Hey @splunk This is an unkind thing to do to candidates and silly when there are VPNs. What gives?
Join me tomorrow at @heavybit to chat about dev tools, marketing AI to developers, and how the space continues to evolve
In this post, GTM expert @PreciselyAlyss who spearheaded the launch of @github's Copilot shares the story behind the process –and offers important lessons for any startups looking to break into the competitive AI space. bit.ly/3sGsar4
Since we are back into weird discourse about power dynamics of interviews:
- Send candidates questions ahead of the interview
- Expected thank you notes are just homework that you aren't telling people about and that's a disadvantaged process
- Skip "why do you want this job"
An absolute delight to talk with @QuinnyPig on developer relations and the greater effort around community that extends beyond developers
While I'm no longer at Common Room, there's an opportunity to use tools of this ilk (like Orbit) to understand the breadth of your impact
“Name half a dozen different SaaS companies ... community is at the heart of it. And so, how do you nurture that community? How do you measure that community? How do you prove that the work that you’re doing is valuable?” — @preciselyalyss

STRATEGY: directly market APIs to developers and include them in a bottom-up sales process.
TACTIC: produce regular video content that covers the top use cases in a fun and engaging format. – at Seattle, WA

The function of GPT isn't new, but it took a change in form (chatbot) to explode its relevance.
Why does this design work?
1. Feels human (a single entity you interact with; not a "database" or "search engine")
2. Familiar texting mental model
In short, lowered friction.
My brand font pairing process:
1. Use a word from the brand themes to use as the example text
2. See how "believable" it is at representing that idea
like Slackey could be "I want to evoke spongebob"
