Among people in non-technical roles (recruiter, marketer, sales, ...) I notice the more technical ones being more effective, and the gap is increasing. E.g., the ones that took a coding course are outperforming the ones that didn't. Has anyone else noticed this? One obvious theory is that they are better at using AI, but would love to hear if you have other theories.

@martin_casado NHY! A catchup is long overdue!!

@catliao Heya Catherine :) HNY!! Been too long

Contrary to the common narrative, I find that AI helps stronger, more experienced programmers a lot more then it does less experienced programmers. They have the context for what to ask about, how to evaluate the responses, and the tools to handle large code disruptions.

In 2012, I joined Uber as employee #99. Our biggest challenge? Finding drivers. Here’s how we signed up the first 1M drivers at Uber:

My 20 year old cousin got his own apartment and it's going pretty well

Last night I watched as the #GlassFire exploded just n. of #StHelena crossing the #NapaValley and creating the #ShadyFire & #BoysonFire... here are my photos of one of the most explosive fire incidents I've ever experienced. Many people lost their homes and livelihoods.

Throwback to 5 years ago when Tony Fauci, at 74 yo, was suiting up to treat an Ebola patient himself because he "wanted to show his staff that he wouldn't ask them to do anything he wouldn't do himself". This is what leadership looks like. sciencemag.org/news/2015/03/w…

I'm sure you've already seen this, but, what an awesome way to demonstrate that not everything needs to be solved with technology 😉 #SocialDistancing #teddybears

I had the enormous privilege of interviewing @mkonnikova about her new book, The Biggest Bluff, for @BBC_Worklife. Maria has told an amazing story about her journey from novice to poker pro and it has so much wisdom for anyone in any profession. bbc.com/worklife/artic…

Does anyone know of any engineering and/or product managers who are willing to mentor black and brown folks? Feel free to comment! There is plenty of black and brown talent looking for mentors in technical roles too. It's the perfect time to help out! 👇

Don’t do this. It’s gross. Highlights: • “Well, OK, since when do such hot women work in tech...” • “I found the content wasn’t too bad either.” • “I would like to take you out.” 🙄🤢🤮
