This is the “I saved my company half a million dollars in about five minutes” person who got in trouble for saving them half a million dollars.


You are the only person in months that has called me anything other than "the AI rant guy" and I just wanted to say I appreciate you. <3


This snippet is so relatable, so great:

"…what they actually needed to do was fire most of the staff in every team, leaving behind the two people who actually had good domain knowledge, then allow them to collaborate with good engineering teams to build sensible processes and systems.

Instead, they hired a bunch of Big Firm Consultants. You can see where this is going already."

I’m on month ten of my tech sabbatical and it’s been great. I’m no closer to wanting to return to the industry (former FAANG data jockey), not in a position where I can never go back but am in that middle-state where I want to use tech to contribute to the betterment of society, the community, nature and sustainability. I have a couple more months to try and figure out how.



I am an AI agnostic so even if I remembered that was you too, I’d only say it to our tribe.

I came into the industry exactly as a previous AI Trough of Disillusionment was in full swing so I’ve been vaccinated.
