lots to think about today

michelle is an incredible engineer, constantly curious about what our users need next, and is sharing what she knows right now👇

accidentally viral internal tool launch. catching up to waitlist 😅

Come build with Michael and team at OpenAI for OpenAI: “The "Leverage" in our name is a deep part of our strategy. Traditional tools are built ~1:1 for tactical use cases—this makes engineers the bottleneck for tool creation, thereby making great tools sparse and lagging best

when a team /clicks/, it's really magical. feeling inspired this afternoon by the leverage eng team <3

why tf do they say Michigan looks like a 'mitten'. the thumb would have to be huge

nothing hurts more than being the first emoji react in slack and a second emoji takes off instead

The Robin Williams documentary (Come Inside My Mind) is incredibly beautiful: “You’ve got to be crazy. It’s too late to be sane. ‘Cause you’re only given a little spark of madness, and if you lose that, you’re nothing. From me to you, don’t ever lose that—it keeps you alive”

looking for a few thoughtful & product-minded engineers to join OpenAI in NY & SF: openai.com/careers/search… people are needlessly encumbered by friction in their daily work. we're building tools to unleash everyone's expertise. if you're interested, i'd be thrilled to chat!

a founding principle for leverage eng i'm particularly proud of: what if the team maxed out at 20–25 people? a terminal size incentivizes optimizing for things that compound

human potential remains the most astoundingly beautiful thing to me. people are constrained by needless friction thoughtful software that can help if it focuses on “what are you really trying to do?”

i really love coming to work because my team is legit just inspiring to work with. i learn a lot from them, and it's super neat seeing how fast everyone mobilizes together when we learn something new. good place to be

one of fav things a manager (Brad Lightcap) ever told me: hit me over the head if i'm ever not unblocking you fast or deep enough, i probably just missed what you really need. whenever i feel stuck with teams i think back to this and am super direct; works like 90% of the time

eyes twitch walking outside only to see a non-ghibli rendering

what ghibli reminds us is that we all deserve to live in a delightfully beautiful and teeteringly whimsical world
