@MorganOMedia I think it's good. but their AI needs to do a better job!!!

RIP Specialized Profiles. Thoughts? "One profile, evolved to win more work: Starting May 28, 2026, Specialized Profiles will no longer be available. For each opportunity, your Upwork profile will now highlight your most relevant work first." #Upwork

@MorganOMedia I'm sure there is an algo change, where did you spend those connects on?

Long time no chat … But have an important Upwork update. Not sure if it’s an algo change or just something in the water …. But I spent about 150 connects on profile ads this week and the offers have been rolling in. Might be worth a try … 💚

@anjalisardana we love this app. keep doing good work.

Excited to announce that Pronto, our instant house help platform, has just raised $25 million in a new round led by Epiq Capital. Existing backers Glade Brook Capital Partners LLC, General Catalyst and Bain Capital Ventures (BCV) have doubled down. Nine months ago we had one hub in Sector 56, Gurgaon. We were sleeping on the floor to ensure customers who had made a booking received reliable service. We were doing about 170 bookings per day. We're now at over 18,000 bookings a day with more than 3,000 dedicated and happy Pros on the platform. We know most of the work is still ahead of us.

@Akshat_World Good, but do get his eyes checked. consistent screen time is not good for kids this age. my daughter (6yrs) plays chess (quite well), but we limit screen time, its mostly with the teacher, or with us or the students in her class.

I started teaching my son how to play chess when he was 2.5 years ago. Now, he is 5. And, can play quite well. He is at 1000Elo. And would rank in one of the top percentiles for his age. I'm quite blow away with the free drills on Duolingo. I take a few paid classes. But, nothing comes close to Duolingo's free version. The absolute test for a platform is: how well can it engage a 5-6 year old kid. My son likes to play this for hours (if I allow him that 😂). Every drill goes a level up. And, keeps him engaged. While there are always good human teaches. AI is becoming extremely powerful for several use cases now.

The best course to learn AI agents is the @AndrewNg course on @Deeplearning.ai This course: learn.deeplearning.ai/courses/agenti… I teach this and other AI aspects in my free AI cohort on www.approachable (.dev). Check the link in the comments to register.

@sama ain't good, it's quite verbose.

We updated GPT-5.2 (the instant model) in ChatGPT today. Not a huge change, but hopefully you find it a little better.

@AndrewYNg Great post, this reminds that upskilling is the way to make your job layoff-proof. I run free AI cohorts and teach AI fundamentals, someone interested can register here: approachable.dev

Job seekers in the U.S. and many other nations face a tough environment. At the same time, fears of AI-caused job loss have — so far — been overblown. However, the demand for AI skills is starting to cause shifts in the job market. I’d like to share what I’m seeing on the ground. First, many tech companies have laid off workers over the past year. While some CEOs cited AI as the reason — that AI is doing the work, so people are no longer needed — the reality is AI just doesn’t work that well yet. Many of the layoffs have been corrections for overhiring during the pandemic or general cost-cutting and reorganization that occasionally happened even before modern AI. Outside of a handful of roles, few layoffs have resulted from jobs being automated by AI. Granted, this may grow in the future. People who are currently in some professions that are highly exposed to AI automation, such as call-center operators, translators, and voice actors, are likely to struggle to find jobs and/or see declining salaries. But widespread job losses have been overhyped. Instead, a common refrain applies: AI won’t replace workers, but workers who use AI will replace workers who don’t. For instance, because AI coding tools make developers much more efficient, developers who know how to use them are increasingly in-demand. (If you want to be one of these people, please take our short courses on Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and Agentic Skills!) So AI is leading to job losses, but in a subtle way. Some businesses are letting go of employees who are not adapting to AI and replacing them with people who are. This trend is already obvious in software development. Further, in many startups’ hiring patterns, I am seeing early signs of this type of personnel replacement in roles that traditionally are considered non-technical. Marketers, recruiters, and analysts who know how to code with AI are more productive than those who don’t, so some businesses are slowly parting ways with employees that aren’t able to adapt. I expect this will accelerate. At the same time, when companies build new teams that are AI native, sometimes the new teams are smaller than the ones they replace. AI makes individuals more effective, and this makes it possible to shrink team sizes. For example, as AI has made building software easier, the bottleneck is shifting to deciding what to build — this is the Product Management (PM) bottleneck. A project that used to be assigned to 8 engineers and 1 PM might now be assigned to 2 engineers and 1 PM, or perhaps even to a single person with a mix of engineering and product skills. The good news for employees is that most businesses have a lot of work to do and not enough people to do it. People with the right AI skills are often given opportunities to step up and do more, and maybe tackle the long backlog of ideas that couldn’t be executed before AI made the work go more quickly. I’m seeing many employees in many businesses step up to build new things that help their business. Opportunities abound! I know these changes are stressful. My heart goes out to every family that has been affected by a layoff, to every job seeker struggling to find the role they want, and to the far larger number of people who are worried about their future job prospects. Fortunately, there’s still time to learn and position yourself well for where the job market is going. When it comes to AI, the vast majority of people, technical or nontechnical, are at the starting line, or they were recently. So this remains a great time to keep learning and keep building, and the opportunities for those who do are numerous! [Original text; deeplearning.ai/the-batch/issu… ]

@yasminekho Right.

People don't buy products. They buy better versions of themselves. Every purchase is a signal of identity, not just utility. If you want people to act, speak to who they want to become, not just what they get.

@svembu Truly said this: calmly contemplate our death

The stock market is becoming very negative about the prospects of SaaS companies in the AI-assisted Code era. Well before the AI revolution, I have said SaaS industry is ripe for consolidation. An industry that spends vastly more on sales and marketing than on engineering and product development was always vulnerable. The venture capital bubble and then the stock market bubble funded a fundamentally flawed, unsustainable model for too long. AI is the pin that is popping this inflated balloon. Can Zoho survive the AI wave? It depends on our ability to adapt. I always ask our employees to calmly contemplate our death. When we accept that possibility, we become more fearless and that is when we can calmly chart our course.

@BhavikKoladiya @ravihanda @bharatpeindia It works.

@ravihanda You can create your own. :) Your UPI id is: 'your-account-number'@'your-ifsc'.ifsc.npci e.g. '022xxxxxxxxx'@'ICIC0xxxxxx'.ifsc.npci You DONT need a upi id to accept upi payments. If you want better reconciliation and success rates, use @bharatpeindia

Do you know how to create a UPI id for a current account? (ICICI bank)

@LoganTGott clients

I’ve used LinkedIn to sign HUGE clients Even when I started out with 0 followers Most people think you need a massive audience to land clients on LinkedIn. Big lie (it can help though) I've used a simple framework to sign huge clients even when I was just starting out: → 0 followers required → No viral posts needed We just dialed in outreach and positioning All that matter is WHO sees your profile and HOW you position yourself. I've documented my entire process in a guide that covers: → The exact profile optimization strategy that made decision-makers reply → My outreach framework that books calls (not generic templates) → How to position yourself as the obvious choice → The follow-up system that closes deals This is the same system one of my client is using to sign over $60,000 worth of clients EVERY month from LinkedIn. And I'm giving it away if you: 1. Follow me 2. Comment "CLIENTS" below I'll send it to your DMs soon

@Lovable is down?

@damienghader PROMPTS

@MS_BASE44 pls share with me too

We’re going to release a standalone backend as a service product soon It’s the same infrastructure that has been powering >10 million Base44 apps Our aim here is to provide our dev community with a simple, powerful backend built from the ground up to work well with coding agents. You’ll be able to easily use it together with Claude code / Cursor / etc. We will also make it super easy and cost effective to migrate from supabase / firebase / etc If you want early access to help us test it - please comment below

@utsengar @ManuKumar I was thinking exactly the same a couple of days back @utsengar . great to e meet you.

@ManuKumar A voice based vibe coding app for my 6yr old.

What is your #HolidayHacking project?

@asanwal my 10 year old did the same thing but for Hindu mythological cards.... he created images using nano banana, used Canva to design cards, added image and text. We got it printed and cut, and then sold. Got a very good response from the audience. named his business. Sanskaar Box.

My 10 yo son is obsessed w/ building a Pokemon competitor built a universe of characters organized them in spreadsheet Just gave me the first pack ever produced (Pack #001, founder's edition) Anyone got tips on how he can make this a thing? He's obsessed Series A deck coming

Join the AI study group and learn the fundamentals before it's too late. Last date to join: Nov 30, 2025. Cohort starting Dec 11. link: approachable.dev #AI #StudyGroup #learning

In the next 6 months, Software engineering will not be the same. Gone will be the days when it takes three months to develop an MVP. It's happening now; MVPs are being developed in 10 days.

मुझ पर एक एहसान करना — एआई सीख लेना। (Do me a favor, learn AI). Lovable, Bolt and other vibe coding tools have killed frontend jobs, and now Claude Opus 4.5 is after your backend jobs.
