Looking for folks to influence the direction of our app with Early Access to the new version of our platform! Earlier this year, we rolled out our first version of @peoplework.bsky.social , and the results were encouraging.

As I tried to pry the secrets to naturally connecting with others, Katie Anderson shared a common sentiment from the other "Highlight" interviewees in my series: it's all about curiosity and sincerity. Read the full interview here.

Highlighting Katie Anderson
Katie doesn't network; she connects. Her approach to professional relationships is rooted in purpose, curiosity, and genuine care. Let's learn how Katie builds relationships that last.

The People Work app is getting a major upgrade - end to end encryption, sync across devices, and multi-platform support (yes, we're coming to Windows, too!). Read about where we're at in the process in our April newsletter. Link in comments.

I never miss the Oscars, but this year I was studying for my ECON exam. Michael texted me from upstairs: "The casting director for There Will Be Blood won. And dedicated it to casting directors who could not get their names on the movie." I texted back, "Not funny." He responded, "I'm serious."

Kendall is one of those people who seem naturally gifted (and that's surely part of it), but underlying it all is his desire to create the kind of culture that he wants to be a part of, one that is supportive, kind, inclusive, & generally fun to be in. Read more! people-work.io/blog/highlig...

I made a quick 10-minute walkthrough video for getting started with People Work. It covers setting up your contacts, defining your goals, and turning "I hope I show up for these people" into an actual plan. Link in comments!

We connected People Work to Claude Code, and watched as everything clicked. Now calendar, goals, and relationship journal are all in one context. Annie wrote about how she's using her People Work AI agent to stay intentional about her most important professional relationships. Link in comments.

If teaching forces clarity, and clarity is amplified by AI, leading to better business outcomes, then teaching juniors is a win-win. @fallthrough.fm

Your company's success with AI may not happen how you think. It will merely amplify the culture that already exists. Less about tech, more about clarity and empathy. In case you missed it: people-work.io/blog/ai-magn...

AI is like an HGTV show from the early 2000s. If you mention that you like trains, suddenly your bedroom is a caboose. It magnifies whatever context you give it. In this post, I use Mitchell Hashimoto as the poster-child for how to do it right. people-work.io/blog/ai-magn...

We're setting ourselves up for a timing mismatch at best if we continue to replace juniors with AI. This is obviously bad for juniors, but it's bad for teams. Read the full post, and tell me what you think. What's your team doing? AI full bore, continuing to invest in juniors, a little of both?

Companies replace junior eng positions with AI + Senior engineers have been excused from mentorship responsibilities + Companies optimize for immediate results = A systemic issue that no one person can fix But here's what I think we can do about it: people-work.io/blog/junior-...

The Junior Hiring Crisis
AI isn’t replacing everyone. It’s removing the apprenticeship ladder. Here’s what that means for students, early-career professionals, and the tech industry’s future.

Burnout: Are You Treating the Symptoms or the Root-Cause
I propose that the key to fighting burnout is to find out how you lost all the agency you had in your job or maybe even in your whole career. Did you ever even have it? If not, why?
