I spend a lot of time thinking about humans helping humans. Don't assume everything that worked in the past suddenly stopped working because new tech arrives.

If Kevin Sosa is eventually signed by the Detroit Tigers, I don’t think we’ll have Superintelligence. But I do think we’ll see companies skipping colleges and start interviewing middle/high school kids

Thanks LinkedIn for yet another notification that companies are hiring people like me.
I’m thoroughly impressed with the number of companies actively looking to hire a founder who is not at all looking for a job.
What a jobs market!

Seems like a delayed inevitable that LinkedIn profiles have a wall of shame.
If adding it better trained the algo, I’d opt into this instead of a puzzle.

If a high school or college student graduates thinking their best job search strategy is applying cold to job postings online, should they be able to file a class action lawsuit against their school?

Gave the green light to two different friends to pass along my cell for someone looking for a referral.
They each were worried the person would be trigger shy because they might need to craft the perfect message.
That’s the beauty of a trusted referral.

Hot take for July 4th heat: a lot of people say teachers are lucky because they “get summers off.”
But if teachers could make $250k+ working year-round, how many would choose the current calendar over the chance to be paid like the professionals they are?
