back in high school, i taught myself HTML/CSS and worked as a web developer for a local business

i found out they had been paying an upwork freelancer $5k per month just to manage their wordpress website

some people have limiting beliefs so deeply ingrained that they would rather pay a premium to remove the pain altogether rather than spend a day or so learning the basics

the only thing stopping you is yourself

heard a girl say “i wish i was technical” while walking thru the farmer’s market today & did a double take.

it’s an obvious pavlov’s dog situation. ai has removed “knowing how to code” as a blocker to making software, but “nontechnical” ppl have been told they can’t build for so long that they now refuse to try.

something about the learned helplessness makes alarm bells ring in my head. it’s almost dystopian.

imo this is a $1T problem that thousands of people should focus on solving. it’s the unlock to an age of abundance where previously “nontechnical” people begin to build & create.

we’re still so incredibly early.

learn paid advertising

think of every piece of content like a product launch, identify who is your target audience, build your funnel and call to action

start with organic content, draft all of your ideas and post with a few accounts across platforms

double down on content that performs well

paid advertising accelerates content that performs well already standalone but does nothing for bad content

jack & jill is THE breakout ai consumer product of the year

this is the product i’ve heard most about from friends looking for jobs and three of them landed jobs within six weeks of using it

all you do is talk to jack (the hiring agent) and he gives you a personalized job board and helps you prep for interviews

he even introduces you directly to hiring teams where roles are a fit so you are not applying cold

if you're searching for a role now I highly recommend trying out the product, its completely free for applicants

absolute bird behavior

in which a woman who desires a meaningful relationship allows herself to get dogged like a hookup, be disrespected to her face, and watches from the sidelines as the man happily marries a more beautiful woman

this is why it’s imperative to protect your self-worth, decenter men and maintain strong female friendships

“We met on OkCupid,” Merritt Tierce writes. “He was a handsome, accomplished economics professor, and I was in New York for the shoot of an episode of the final season of ‘Orange Is the New Black,’ ” Merritt Tierce writes. Tierce is a novelist, a memoirist, and was a writer for the Netflix series. The economist was from that élite class of European men for whom it’s nothing to read two novels a week, for pleasure and erudition, in addition to going about high-level professional work, raising children, and practicing some intense sport. The two began an affair, which lasted months, until he told her, “You and I are not going to fall in love and that’s what you and I are looking for.” Tierce details the time they spent together, the concessions she made to remain in his life, and the ever-complicated calculus of modern dating: newyorkermag.visitlink.me/aiLHxj
