🤩ANOTHER SPECIAL GUEST🤩

We have the fantastic @nnennahacks.com joining @nedinthecloud.com, @usrbinkat.io, and me to give us a lesson:

PRODUCTIVITY w/ AI

Topics:
- AI Agents for DevRel
- Claude projects for learning tech
- Working w/ Claude to develop an open-source project

🗓️ TODAY @ 2PM ET
🔗👇🏽

They are telling us what the plan is. It is our duty to listen and plan strategically for how we will maneuver through these times.

All the signs and clues are pointing to what you highlighted in your thread.

“Just went to an AI conference at Microsoft and I asked the closing panel a question:

“What will happen to those who don’t adopt AI? Im using it supercharge my life, what about the ppl who don’t?”

Them: “America is the land of equal opportunity, NOT equal outcome.””

The same way they didn’t educate us about taxes & financial literacy in these schools. Is the same way they won’t educate us on how to capitalize on what is happening next.

Wow… a lot has happened in 2 months. This post feels like it was written 6 months ago, at my rate of learning & building.

Open-source LLMs & the Evolution of Fearless Creativity Welcome to issue #3 of The Career Compiler! The Career Compiler is a newsletter about technical topics, learning, productivity, and self-improvement. I enjoy sharing my journey, self-reflecting, and t...

New LinkedIn newsletter is out.

- Are open source LLMs really open-source?
- I used to be fearless in tech. How things have changed… 👇🏽

All the hype around vibe coding is around building prototyping from scratch but most of the time we are adding to and augmenting highly complex systems.

I think the “right” things and people show up. But there’s an awkward phase in between then. This is part of the complex story behind “growth is uncomfortable”.

Why has everyone left? Where did they go? Why is it cold?

Sometimes it feels like a crime to be different. Or to really embrace growth.

You want to grow. Then you do. And then there’s crickets. You’re suddenly standing in an empty room.

There are some things I don’t need to be taught, as I understand them on an intuitive level. Therefore, it’s important for me to read content that affirms what I already naturally understand. Not just content that teaches me something I need to learn.

Affirmation and validation matter.

Oh wait. Books still exist. Let’s check there first. 🫡

Might have to use LLMs to teach me about the inner workings of open-source governance...

I’ve been meaning to look into @beeaiagents.bsky.social I want to explore that project.

But I’ve been writing for several hours now… and I need to keep reading “AI Engineering” and there’s a 5-day Google course for GenAI starting…

I was in flow state for SEVERAL hours today… how is this possible???

Also, I’m so happy about it 😂

So far, so good. 👍🏽 I will keep tracking my energy levels to get an idea of when it’s best to create, do deep work, admin tasks, ideate, and rest.

This AI workshop was incredible and glad I attended. So many inspiring women leaders looking to lead the charge in how to leverage LLMs effectively across communities. 🙌🏽

I’m going to experiment with “energy mapping”. Matching tasks to actual brain power as a neurodivergent person.

I feel unblocked today. 🥹 Emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. I will cherish it.

I decided to buy a beautiful Rag & Bone vest dress. Very well structured piece, quality fabric. My present to myself for existing. 😊

Venus retrograde is kicking my ass right now. Can’t wait for it to pass.

I hope the universe gives me a solid reason to go on a shopping spree soon. I’d feel less guilty if I know it’s for a really good reason. 🙂

Let us know when the newsletter is out! 🙏🏽

Early morning before everyone is moving around is so peaceful 🧘🏽‍♀️

Instead of "Groups A and B just never talk to each other", I'm working on saying "what happens if groups A and B don't talk to each other?"

Now I'm not speaking in absolutes, I'm not overgeneralizing, I'm rather talking about a hypothetical and *specific* instance, and discussing that

Much better!

Feels like I'm leaving money on the table by not doing a scam or swindle of some kind. Would you guys buy a car for $100,000 if I pretended it can drive itself. What about a fake currency

vLLM East Coast meetup at Google 👍🏽

Met some folks from Red Hat’s AI teams and an architect from Cisco 👩🏽‍💻

Diverse, super technical crowd.
