This chart is misleading — the numbers spiked end of ‘21/early ‘22. But it is just back to where things were pre-pandemic. There was a massive over-injection of capital. The markets corrected and so did the jobs. Things are looking quite positive for dev jobs from my perspective.

We surveyed over 300 devs and found some interesting data. 85% use some sort of AI tool regularly. Top AI tool used is ChatGPT with Copilot coming in second and Claude in 3rd.

Attention-to-detail isn’t just a trait, it’s essential for founders. Miss the small things, you'll miss everything. Founders must stay this annoying as long as they're running things.

67% of organizations have seen increased productivity & value due to AI. However, only 20% believe they have the talent necessary. That's like asking my 4-year-old to make his own lunch. Source: Deloitte's State of Gen AI

Imagine spending millions to accidentally create a ruler detector. In 2021, researchers trained an AI to detect cancer cells not realizing docs often include a ruler In cancer-suspect photos. The AI learned to associate rulers with cancer. The training data matters📏🤖

Can anyone explain to me why investors are putting billion of dollars into making ASI? By the time it happens, money won’t matter.

It's wild that Apple Intelligence won't be available in EU. There will be a time in the not-so-distant future that the USA will seem like the Jetsons to folks overseas.

I just asked the new OpenAI o1 model to help me make the start of an RTS game. Damn it’s scary good. Clicking, pathfinding, collision detection, obstacles, vector normalization, frame elapsed time, it’s all there out of the box. Everyone can be a game designer now.
