hanging out at AGNTCon + MCPCon with the @neo4j graph wizard! he took my badge and watched my demo. 🥹

Love seeing my friends do demos! @wescpy

Here at AGNTCon + MCPCon @linuxfoundation 🤖 say hi at the @temporalio booth!

Hung out with @UseCorgi on a Monday night for our “Filipinos in AI/Tech” meetup w/ my cohosts Bea & JD. We shared our experiences, demos, and projects we’re working on. Love finding ways to bring together the different communities I am part of! 🥹🇵🇭 This meetup is open to anyone and everyone. Stay tuned for the next one!

I have a lot of thoughts on the whole “it’s impossible to find someone technical who’s also good at creating content, has taste, and deeply understands the ai ecosystem (twitter)” In no particular order 1. I have seen many companies hire for this role too early. When I interviewed for this vague new media/ devrel/ DevX world before joining Cerebras, many very cool companies reached out but they had no clear product to market and no clear audience. What ends up happening is that there is no clear need or scope and this person is dumped to do everything because they lowkey can do everything. (Be warned) 2. Many of the best folks at this role did not start as GTM folks. The most common profile are folks who are engineers first, generally have CS degrees (although many are now self taught) and naturally found themselves really excited to be educators as well. Key word = educators. I had a CS degree from MIT, decided very early I did not want to be a software engineer because it was too monkey mill, and carved out a hybrid role for myself. 3. When thinking about who is exceptional at this role, it’s important to distinguish the person from the company. For example, if someone is at a top lab, how much of the viewership, followers, etc are from them or just natural company groupies. (This is not to say folks at oai, ant, etc are not extremely talented). 4. So! Now everyone thinks they can now be a creator because how good AI is. One of the main differentiators for engaging content is having a literal human face in your content versus obscene amounts of screen recordings and graphic animations. Thus everyone is trying to hire a face of a company and needs to hire faces of a company. 5. This is just a thought but there are very clearly AI companies built around their founder where the founder is the face and everyone at the company feels like it’s their job to just make the founder more famous. I will not name names. I appreciate smaller companies like @browserbase who seem to amplify the many voices in the company. 6. There are still a ridiculous amount of companies who do not realize the value of investing heavily in these types of folks. Perhaps they are scarred by the lack of impact of enterprise/ old school marketing. But these AI companies, when not doing well, react by firing and downsizing these technical GTM teams (wrong move buddy), you never hear about them again, and they spiral into oblivion. Don’t do this. 7. There are two types of companies who “get it”. The companies who just do, and the companies who have been burned by 5+ years of failing to get the company message out and are finally like oh shit. We need to hire these types of folks and do this type of thing.

a very traditional japanese dinner for my last meal before my flight back home

last week in Japan but still getting so much fomo from the SF Tech Week events! anyway here’s an excuse to share a mini Japan dump so far 📸 see you soon SF!!!

when in Korea 🇰🇷 conditions met, should I execute?

n-n-n-now i’m feeling so fly like a G6

Had so much fun speaking about how @EntireHQ helped me track how an escalator retrofit review ended up in my SF staircases app at @temporalio's Durable AI meetup last night w/ @bdougieYO @HKrackDev @MelGoesTech! Happy almost-Walktober!

POV of me preaching the Rabbit to a bunch of smart people... 🐰🤓 Last night was fun! Thank you so much @MelGoesTech & @temporalio for co-hosting and @nyghtowl, @bdougieYO, Chris Brox and @lizziepika for sharing the stage.

I’m so glad someone got a recap of our event. Thanks so much for capturing this!

anotha one ! 💯 durable AI september in the books ✅ s/o to these amazing speakers for sharing their personal takes and insights covering different layers of bringing agents to production. thanks @coderabbitai & @HKrackDev for co-hosting!!!

The demo is so good though…

@bdougieYO teaching us about Pokémon at @coderabbitai HQ tonight!!??? I loved it.

I had a great time learning about the infra behind reliable agents! Great event @mattenoble @NinaLopatina @MelGoesTech Very cool to see @temporalio continue failed workflows, @MongoDB ingest tons of data, and @KeycardAI issue task-scoped, short-lived credentials 🎉

I’m hosting Durable AI in SF with @MelGoesTech this Thursday! 🔥 Talks from @temporalio @antigravity @entirehq @scalekitinc @papercompute + @coderabbitai. A few seats left. I’d love a few more exceptional builders in the room! Looking forward to seeing @nyghtowl, @lizziepika, @satyapd, Chris Brox and @bdougieYO on stage!

good meetup vibes tonight with @MongoDB and @KeycardAI !!! s/o Avocados

celebrated 1 year at @temporalio last week! 🎉🥳🪩 entered a year ago with a coffee in hand, and quite literally nothing has changed. here's to more years and more fun times as pictured here. so blessed to be here!

*unmutes* I have nothing to add
