Build a Great Team and AI

Building a Great Team is about finding complementary pieces that make your group stronger than if they were alone. You don’t need 4 full-stack developers, you need two front-end, a middle, and a back-end developer – and you don’t need to full those requirements with four AIs hoping they crank out something that is amazing. Maybe not that precise mix but you get the idea, you don’t need drones, you need people, and you need perspectives and approaches that can grow your team.

Be Your Team Culture

Don’t talk about it. Don’t do a post on it. Don’t evangelize it. Don’t youtube it, instagram it, snap it, tiktok it. Definitely keep it off of LinkedIn.

The Wrong Remote

How many wrong ways are there to do remote? So many.  I don’t know if it has gotten worst or better.  I miss the days of Remotely Prepared and all the conversations we had because I learned so much about what I should and should not be doing. I feel like we learned so much being in that bubble. And yet, I feel like we still have so much to learn. Like for instance – how come online meeting software is so bloated when it’s use is meant to be so simple? Simplicity, that’s what remote was meant to be,
