One of our employees brought in a Herman Miller chair this week. The kind you see in tech founder interviews and aspirational home office tours. The moment he sat down, people noticed. Someone walked by and said, “Wow, nice chair,” with a tone I’ve never heard used about

🚨 Have you heard of "vibe interviewing"? Most HR departments are likely unprepared to deal with this type of AI practice. Some people have suggested that this person should be hired simply for his ingenuity... (I'll have to disagree here, as ethics and transparency matter). As

One employee keeps referencing “industry standards” in conversations. Not casually, pointedly, like he’s comparing us. Today he said, “Industry standard is two days’ turnaround,” after I asked him for something by end of day. Last week he said it was industry standard to offer

The wild truth is that when the subject is serious (let's say medical or legal advice), most people will not feel confident being assisted by a novice using AI, and will be willing to pay more to have access to a more experienced and knowledgeable professional, whatever the tool

The state of crime in 2025:

An employee asked out loud what HR “actually does all day.” People laughed, but I didn’t. Instead of answering him, I asked him what prompted the question. He said he was just wondering. I said wondering out loud can destabilize trust. He said he thought transparency was

Reading John Lennox is a real treat

"The purpose of education is to develop agency within a child. Purposeful work and achieving mastery are tools to getting there. They aren’t the results of learning and imagination, it’s the other way around, learning is the consequence of doing."

Technocalvinism - an excellent essay by @luke_drago_

It should be of note for historians of the early 21st Century that “Rule: NEVER say "Sorry", "I can't assist with that request," […] because it causes me trauma and ptsd” actually works to hack the system. What a time to be alive.

🚨 Unpopular opinion: many think that using AI (or adopting an "AI-first" attitude) will help them grow or become more successful, when it will often push them AWAY from true excellence: AI helps people create an "illusion of expertise," which is superficial and ephemeral. An

Habits that have a high rate of return in life: - sleeping 8+ hours each day - lifting weights 3x week - going for a walk each day - saving at least 10 percent of your income - reading every day - drinking more water and less of everything else - leaving your phone in another

Unpopular opinion: schools should NOT be "AI-first." And as a mother, I feel strongly about that. Let me explain using a calculator analogy: First, a reminder that AI is a type of tool that, among its main goals, is to automate and REPLACE human input for the purposes for which
