Some people's jobs inherently benefit from heavier AI usage, while others not at all, and everything in between. Right now it feels like we are still stuck in the 0s and 1s of you're either all in on AI, or you're not. And that's not how it should be forced to work.

That's an interesting perspective. And maybe our solutions to those problems we didn't invent would cause more problems that are difficult to solve.

I used to say most data and tech problems are people problems. Well, as it turns out, I think most AI problems are actually people problems too.

It is wild how vehemently people support the continuation and furthering of the system which only seeks to exploit them.

I feel like there are many people against AI anything, but also forced to accept that adopting it is out of their control, mandated by executives and boards.

Just checking in - How are we feeling about AI initiatives? (And maybe more importantly, how are we feeling in general?)

Executives are more replaceable by AI, but they aren't ready for that conversation.

When you're the first person on the call and don't have time to start anything, so you are forced to confront your finite existence in the universe for 2 minutes:

I had an abdominal surgery 3 days ago, and I am finally starting to feel more like myself today mentally. Looking forward to continued recovery.

Oh no! I hope you feel better soon and heal up quickly!

This but they also want to know you have an "AI strategy"

When leaders and managers set a precedent of working through being sick, it sets the precedent of guilt. For myself, in the past, it makes me feel like I have to explain myself. Which you're right, I shouldn't have to.

I have taken off work occasionally for what I call a "bad endometriosis day", and they would just act...annoyed? Like calling out for a tension headache. NO. IT IS NOT LIKE A HEADACHE.

What is 76:110 the appropriate ratio of? (I asked a few different LLMs, and they didn't know, so that won't help you) 🤭

Are your dashboards green while business results lag? KPIs can silently lose their meaning, a problem aptly called "semantic drift." towardsdatascience.com/metric-decep...

I wonder how many social posts from people attempting to grow their accounts started with an AI prompt something like "what is some good ragebait about [topic] that also won't get me canceled".

Not every cool little idea will add value, and that is okay. Not everything needs to be made or monetized.

Snowflake acquired Select Star. As startups are getting eaten by the big companies that they often parter with (many such cases), they might as well try to get acquired by them instead. Obvious things are obvious. Corporate seduction as a strategy.

Construct validity is the missing dark matter in big tech research about developers. Once you see it, you never unsee it.

You know, I put effort into sounding coherent and like I have a general grasp on the societal norms of conversational etiquette when sending an email, even to people that I am more casual with. But maybe I should try less.

It depends on what question they ask exactly, too.

How do I explain to recruiters that I still have a very strong understanding of data setups from implementing a tool during proofs of concept with multiple customers' stacks, versus if I only had experience implementing one set of tools and their processes at one company at a time?

Horrible phrasing. Professionals in the filed should stop personifying AI, even subtly. It is not helping.

arynndoesdata @arynn.bsky.social · 10/11/2025

This one will NOT be done laproscopically, due to the nature and location of where this endo is on the rectus abdominal muscle. It should still be a reasonable recovery time. HYPE.

arynndoesdata @arynn.bsky.social · 10/11/2025

Endometriosis surgery number 3 is scheduled to remove the endo from and make repairs to my abdominal muscle. I am one step closer to being able to do heavy lifting again without feeling like I am being stabbed, and generally being afraid to use my core for anything, lest I receive a jolt of pain.
