Shark Tank is dead. no one has 2 hours to watch a fake, cinematic, scripted drama. we just fixed that. introducing... The Buzzer 🔴 1 founder. 1 investor. 5-minutes speed date. every time the set turns red, either one can reject the other and get a new match (yes... founders can reject investors too LOL) if they both survive the 5 minutes, it's a match. and they get a private second date. it's entertaining. it's educational. and it's actually very fun to watch. this is the new Shark Tank. and it's called The Buzzer 🔴 enjoy! 🍿 (and shoutout to CUT for the inspiration, and to @compai for sponsoring this episode 💚)

I'm 22. And the job market has never scared me this much. I'm not used to talk about this, but people need to know. 1. The ladder is collapsing from both ends. Big Tech is quietly killing entry-level. Google. Meta. Amazon. New-grad programs shrinking, frozen, or gone. The "safe path" people spent four years preparing for is disappearing under their feet. On the other side: 21-year-olds becoming founding engineers at YC startups. Setting their own terms by building real things. Builders will wins the new race. Others will loose it. 2. AI fluency stopped being a skill. The gap between people who treat AI as a cofounder and people who use ChatGPT to rewrite emails isn't a productivity gap anymore. It's a species gap. 22-year-olds who got this 18 months ago are running circles around senior engineers. Not because they're smarter. Because they stopped treating AI like a tool and started treating it like leverage. The ones who haven't caught on are being managed by the ones who have. Parents reassuring them everything is fine are looking at a job market that stopped existing two years ago. 3. Distribution killed credentials in their sleep. Going from Stanford to Google, now is irrelevant. The new path is simpler: You ship something. People use it. You build an audience. That's the new résumé and most people are falling behind. 4. The talent market is more broken than anyone admits. Best engineers don't reply to recruiters. They ignore $25K retainer emails. LinkedIn is a graveyard and everyone in tech knows it. A new layer is emerging, companies representing top builders . Direct intros without applications. I'm watching it happen from inside one @standoutwork . What's actually going on in tech hiring looks nothing like the public narrative. 5. I'm not watching from outside. I'm in it. A friend turned down a $280K Stripe offer to be employee #4 at a stealth AI company for $80K. His parents would never understand his decision but he's right. And we all know they're wrong. Other friends took the safe path. Good logo. Good title. Good salary. They're watching their role description slowly being replace by AI. Nobody tells them directly. The question isn't whether it hits you. It's whether you learned to swim before it arrived. If you're 22 and in tech, the playbook is gone. Not outdated. Gone. Don't optimize for a job. Optimize for being someone people fight to work with. I know, not everyone will agree with this, but at the end, this is the reality in the tech world, and people need to know it.
