Excited to continue my journey building mental health tech @spring_health (series D, $2.5B cap)! We're launching a new venture within Spring and hiring senior engineers to create a stellar founding team. Small, fast-paced team of builders and ex-founders in person in SF.

The most consistent interview pattern I’m seeing as we build a new team in health tech: A strong pull from candidates who are genuinely and intrinsically motivated to work on something they care about and that makes a positive change in the world.

People want to work for (or build!) companies that are both robust businesses *and* a force for good. As this movement accelerates, I believe we’ll see more professionals running toward roles that not only challenge them technically but also align with their personal values.

6b. A user prompt in natural language results in server taking action, with nothing in-between - no code to call an API nor to interpret the response - all taken care of by the model! Eventually, all service-to-service communication may happen without any code written by a dev 🤯

We built a plugin called Tiramisu - your sweetest productivity tool to help plan and schedule your life via GCalendar integration: just ask ChatGPT to create a meal plan or workout schedule for you and it will add events to your cal taking into account preferences and conflicts.
