I left my job + November '24 reads

It's called funemployment? What I'm building, reading, and thinking.

Happy December!

Last week, I quit my job to build something.

I’m still figuring out what to build, but I am excited because:

1. There’s new, interesting, impactful tech that can solve real problems.

2. Developer Tooling (augmented with AI Agents) is the best it has ever been and is improving daily.

Some ideas I’ve been thinking about:

• Automating manual processes in the biotech industry

• Using AI Agents in the Security Operations Center workflows

• Making it easier for enterprises to convert their data for LLM usage

• Providing companies with important + non-critical legal updates

My favorite articles from this month:

1. It’s Obviously the Phones

2. The AI Agents Stack

3. ‘Boring’ work in Bio

Upcoming writings:

• Problem Descent - new newsletter I’m launching that examines how ML + AI can solve business problems.

  • The first interview is with a former Google engineer whose work is in recommendation systems

• ‘You should start a social club’

• AITX Hackathon Retrospective

  • Built a tool to analyze and keep track of local laws

  • Demo

  • Was a finalist + won a sponsor prize

Questions I’m thinking about in December:

• When deploying Gen AI systems across enterprises, what is the value of context? How much context is needed to actually answer document-dependent questions?

• With the advent of these tools, what is the future of reading and writing? What would we lose if we used LLM’s to read and write for us?
