Tech Workers Are Condemning ICE Even as Their CEOs Stay Quiet The killing of George Floyd in 2020 prompted a wave of statements from tech companies and CEOs. Today, pushback against ICE is largely coming from employees, not executives.

β€œThe most wealthy and powerful tech CEOs are still staying silent as ICE floods America’s streets, but now some researchers and engineers working for them have chosen to break rank.”

Great @laurengoode.bsky.social story:

My first job taught me discipline.

It taught me how to listen.

How to take feedback.

How to grow.

And how to cry silently in a bathroom stall.

Everyone’s chasing the algorithm.

Nobody’s asking if the algorithm is worth chasing.

Modern career advice:

Just follow your passion.

And be constantly networking.

And have a side hustle.

And another.

And have experience.

And be confident.

And show humility.

And read voraciously.

And build your brand.

And take time for yourself.

And don’t ever use an em dash.

Real leaders respect weekends.

We value rest.

We believe in boundaries.

There’s no pressure to be online after hours.

That’s why we keep standup short on weekends.

Weekends are your edge.

While others rest, you build.

No distractions.

No meetings.

Pure execution.

By Sunday night, you’ll be three days ahead of the rest.

And four years behind on your personal relationships.

We don’t have a product yet.

But we do have a Chief Product Officer.

A Chief Technology Officer.

And a Head of Brand.

Morale is high.

Burn rate is higher.

Startup Bro: We’re revolutionizing dating.

Investor: How?

Startup Bro: Everyone gets a custom AI partner trained on their ex.

Investor: That’s sick.

This is not his voice. He uses an ai program to write the script and talk. The only thing he does is edit the recordings together.

In today's fast-paced world, we find ourselves at the precipice of mistrust.

Will 'Is it AI?' be the newest phrase to enter the zeitgeist?

Or can we trust in our wives' boyfriends?

We started with an idea.

And we hired one person to build it.

Two to make it look nice.

Ten to tell us how to grow it.

Now we have no product, a Notion workspace and a podcast.

Hot takes from a podcast:

"AI allows anyone to build complex apps with no code"
You say complex, I say cookie cutter.

"AI is evolving like a new, uncontrollable species"
A species born of reddit quips and parroted conspiracies.

"AGI is just around the corner."
There's always another corner.

My computer science degree did not prepare me for a career in tech.

I wasn’t taught how to build, scale or maintain.

I wasn’t taught how to delegate, collaborate or communicate.

But I was taught Java

Know thyself with data: AI, MCPs and such I released a thing recently.

I wish dentistry was like software engineering, where I could just call up a friend, who knows a friend, who is a dentist, and can get my tooth fixed for a free dinner.
