Got upgraded on my flight to NYC this morning and everyone in 1st class had their laptops out generating AI videos. I looked back at the rest of the plane - no one was even making content. What do you think of my plane video?

Forward Deployed Engineering is not easy. The customers need custom builds and can call the CEO whenever they wish. The engineering team wants to protect the product roadmap and avoid tech debt. And FDE has to make it work. How is it done? Leo's thread has the answersšŸ‘‡.

I first met Calvin in 2016. Karim and I had just launched Paribus. We weren’t a big company. Our office was my kitchen table. So when an email from a 17-year-old high school dropout landed in my inbox asking for an internship, I skimmed by it. Thankfully, Karim didn’t!. -

An incredible article by @packyM about Ramp's plans for the "anti-Private Equity way of making a business more profitable": Businesses who use @tryramp will be more have happier people and healthier profits than those who do not!

The first version of @tryramp receipt matching involved 8 parameters whose values I pulled from thin air based on pure intuition. Now we're deploying GPT models with billions of parameters and saving companies more time than ever. Time flies!.

And I'll add: Since you need to have a decision-making apparatus that can make your most important decisions correctly _anyway_, you can reuse it for your less important decisions, too. And you will want to do that, so that it is trained and ready when the big decisions arrive.
