Why Hard Work Alone Won't Get You Promoted (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A few years into my career, I watched two people on the same team get evaluated for the same promotion.One of them was, by every measure I could see, the stronger performer. Better output, deeper knowledge of the systems, the person other engineers quietly went to when something broke. The other was fine. Competent. Nothing special on paper.The second person got the promotion.I remember being genuinely confused by it. Not bitter, just confused, in the way you are when the math doesn’t add up. I
What Dario's Call to “Pace the Frontier” Means If You're Not Building the Frontier (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dario Amodei published an essay called “We Must Pace the Frontier.” In it, the CEO of one of the most aggressive labs in the industry argued for something few people expected to hear from someone sitting in his chair: that AI capability development needs to slow down, on purpose.Within a day, Sam Altman said he agreed. Elon Musk called it right. AI-linked stocks wobbled as investors tried to work out what a voluntary slowdown from one of the industry’s fastest-moving labs actually meant. And a d
Should You Become an FDE? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A few weeks ago, someone messaged me asking, “Should I quit my backend role and become a Forward Deployed Engineer?”My honest answer was: “I don’t know.

How to Ship AI Features Without an Engineering Background (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A few years ago, if you wanted to build a software product, the first question was usually: “Who’s going to build this?”Today, that question feels very different.With tools like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Lovable, Bolt and others, getting from an idea to a working prototype has never been easier. You don’t need to be an engineer to test an idea anymore. In many cases, you don’t even need to write code.That’s a pretty remarkable shift.It has levelled the playing field in a way I don’t think we’ve s
Enterprises do not need better AI Chatbots. They need better workspaces. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the enterprise AI projects we recently worked on looked fairly straightforward on paper. A finance analyst wanted to understand a monthly cost variance.The traditional workflow was equally familiar. Open a BI dashboard, filter the data, export it into Excel, write a commentary, share it with stakeholders, and repeat the same exercise next month. Naturally, we thought AI could simplify that. And even expand the usecase. The problem was that to create a single variance report, it took them
