Who am I and why should you follow๐Ÿ‘‡ Most leadership advice is written by people who haven't touched production in a decade. I'm a systems architect and engineering leader writing about extreme technical debt, stoic leadership, and executing from the root.

On a personal level, my favourite use-case for daily AI usage is the morning news briefs I have Gemini prepare for me on various topics. It's like an AI-curated podcast on topics I care about.

Web search has two steps: 1. Assess the users intent. 2. Apply different fields boosts depending on that intent. For example "latest news on [topic]" applies a recency boost, "history of [topic]" removes it. Many such cases. There is no one size fits all.

No taxation without representation! When does AI get the vote in Germany?
JUST IN: German minister proposes a new tax on all economic value created by AI.

Google serving up ads via Gemini is inevitable. Right now it's their only property that does not serve ads?
Apparently Google lost $500 BILLION in market value because its AI started giving people answers instead of sending them to ads ๐Ÿ˜‚
