It’s been an amazing and rewarding experience running All Aboard Bootcamp and today I’m really happy to be able to announce allaboardbootcamp.com where you’ll find a write-up of how everything went, complete session videos, & of course.. contact info for each of the graduates!!
As a long time Signals and Threads listener, I was really excited to have this opportunity to talk about the work our team has done over the past ~4 years. Hope you enjoy 😊
A new Signals and Threads, with the great @seejohnrun, talking about AI and software engineering, and how the world is changing under our feet...
A lot of times in the closing days of a presidential campaign, large accusations of impropriety surface. We have these examples ready at hand for one candidate, but the fact we don’t have them for the other is an indicator of high character and a career of service. Vote smart.
The current generation of AI models could remain unchanged for the next 10 years and we’d still be finding novel uses for them.
Anyone thinking AI is a doomed because the models have reached some limit is missing the point (and also likely wrong).
Check out this episode of Ruby for All 🙏 we chatted about AI, teaching, and more. Hope you enjoy it! ❤️
📣 The latest Ruby for All episode is now available!

Fun episode - if you’re not a listener already this is a great place to jump in
I guess you can go home again. ⚡️ Thanks to @BrittJMartin for inviting me back to the @therubyonrails to talk about GitHub, AI, and my journey from developer to COO at @github. Had a total blast!
It’s not the first time this person has been in tech news, and also not the first time that 90% of the people at the same place wondered “who tf is that?”
Try not to assume that everyone with the same employer are somehow bffs :)
(shoutout to all my real bffs - you the best)
It’s fun that we all have learned to tolerate the capitalization of “Lol”, and that Apple has absolutely refused to do anything about it.
In case it’s not clear from my recent albeit sporadic tweets, I’ve been spending nearly all of my time working on developer tools (as always) with AI/LLMs. This, right now, is a phase shift for tooling that will change what it means to be a developer within the next decade.
IMO huggingface.co represents a huge miss for GitHub (which I’m still a lifelong fan of). The focus should be on:
* building a platform for model collaboration
* providing an easy path for deploying alternative models to back Copilot
AI Coding Assistants are just getting started. As the models rapidly improve, we need to focus on:
* helping people gain utility despite their constant mistakes
* preparing tooling for a future where they have less shortcomings
Most “revolutionary” technologies have many skeptics. It’s easy to put on a VR headset and deny that it’s good, or to not buy into a world where digital currency holds tangible value..
but oh boy is it hard to try out AI in 2023 and have those same feelings
We have so much to do, come work with us! 🎉
Also, if you're interested in exploring how to use LLMs to improve productivity, and you'd like to work with @seejohnrun, you should reach out! We're looking to grow the team at Jane Street that works on just that.
