｢ They began 2025 by unveiling the “Big Hairy Audacious Goal” of jumping from about 2.5 million subscribers to 200 million paying users, despite having ended the previous year hemorrhaging tens of thousands of their existing subscribers, all while blaming the journalists for the paper’s travails ｣

｢ Last year, the $205 billion bank sent out a memo introducing required AI training to 175,000 staffers across 80 locations—instructing them particularly in prompting—Citi confirmed with Fortune. The company’s CEO believes that mandatory instruction helps remove “the myths of intimidation” around the tools, and that strengthening employees’ AI prompting skills will help them “in life as well as work.” ｣

"Broadly, across economic sectors, AI isn’t visibly affecting the #jobmarket. But it’s a good layoff excuse.

I did not survive the #Amazon #layoffs today.
If you’re looking for an energetic #Rubyist hamster who is interested in figuring out hard problems people haven’t solved before, with a track record of doing it at scale, hit me up. I’m also interested if you’re only looking for a fractional CTO to help your company out part time. Or some other collaborative role that might otherwise be hard to describe.
