Recently we moved at our company to 5 days a week in-person, all day every day for everyone. We had to 100% change out personnel on a small team. Everyone leaving had an offer to move and 90 days of severance if they didn't want to. With nothing but gratitude to the people that…

Every week a new model comes out that “beats” the previous SOTA on benchmarks. But benchmarks don’t matter - models need to be evaluated on YOUR data. Introducing Superpipe, a framework to build, evaluate, and optimize LLM pipelines on your data. Built w/ @benscharfstein
They have done it. Congrats humanity
Introducing SuperOpenAI, a lightweight logging & caching python framework for LLM development ✅ all LLM inputs and requests logged locally ✅ includes token usage, cost and latency ✅ responses cached in-memory, never wait when re-running code built w/ @benscharfstein 🧵👇

HubSpot's a pretty big company (~8,000 people) but we've managed to avoid this death spiral. Things that have helped: 1) Small teams with high autonomy 2) Hold regular "science fairs" where teams show off what they *shipped* 3) Closely connect our product team to customers,…

The two biggest biases you’ll run into when doing a startup are from people that know *too* much: 1. This problem is already solved and doesn’t need a new solution 2. Every time this problem has been attempted to be solved it never works Sometimes you just need fresh eyes.

You can become fitter than 95% of people through a lifestyle of heavy lifting, walking, quality sleep, drinking water, and eating nutrient dense foods. It's simple but most people try to make it complicated.
