Patrice M. shared thisWhen I was job hunting, I loved the advice given to others to "take a break over the holidays". People who follow that advice take themselves out of competing with me. :-) I have found a number of jobs in the holiday season. Some core realizations: 1. the recruiting team has a number of steps they need to go through to vet candidates - get those checks and vetting done 2. in the tech field, companies can have take home projects as part of the screening process - ask for those assignments early. Candidates can get extra time to get those projects done very well. 3. work on improving responses to interview questions 4. use the holidays as an excuse to reconnect with past co-workers: maybe they can act as a reference or referral. Make it so that when the hiring manager does come back from the holidays, that your application is completely ready to go, all assignments done and reviewable. Be on the top of the stack. Be the first to be interviewed, the one who sets a (high) bar for all the other candidates.Patrice M. shared thisWhat’s your advice for people looking for work over the holiday season? There is debate each year about what job seekers should do as the holiday season approaches. The truth is that the speed of the hiring process may change at the end of the year, but it depends on the position and employer. For the latest edition of #GetHired, I asked LinkedIn members for their advice about looking for work as 2022 approaches. Check out all of their suggestions in the latest edition! #OpenToWork #HolidayJobSearchWhat should your job search look like at the end of the year?What should your job search look like at the end of the year?

Patrice M. posted thisI was recently asked "What tools do I use as a manager?" I was puzzled by this question because to me the important managerial "tools" are the ability to listen and empathize with the person communicating with me; one-on-ones; and other non-technology tools. When I asked the questioner to clarify what they meant by "tools", it seemed that they were expecting to hear about technology. Once we had the clarification, I gave him my set of technology choices. #questions Question to the other managers here: What technology tools do you use and how are they integrated into your management process?

Patrice M. liked thisPatrice M. liked thisWhat if the script was flipped? 🤔 That's exactly what the new Netflix movie "Ladies First" explores. When a man is suddenly transported into a matriarchal society, he finds himself navigating many of the biases, assumptions, and power dynamics that women face every day. While the premise is fictional, the conversations it sparks are very real. From having your expertise questioned to being underestimated in leadership, many women know what it's like to navigate workplaces and systems that weren't designed with them in mind. By turning the tables, the movie offers a fresh perspective on experiences that are often overlooked or dismissed.

Patrice M. liked thisPatrice M. liked thisSomeone will use Claude Opus 4.8 to make $1,000,000+ before 2026 ends. Here is how: A custom software build costs $50,000 to $250,000. A freelance developer charges $100 to $200 an hour. A technical co-founder who joins at the beginning takes 25% to 50% equity, which means if your company is ever worth $5 million, you just gave away $1.25 million to $2.5 million for the engineering. And finding one takes months. The demand for senior developers outstrips supply so badly that there are 1.2 million unfilled engineering positions globally right now. Claude Opus 4.8 writes code like a senior engineer, works independently across long sessions without checking in, and has a new capability called dynamic workflows where it makes a plan, runs hundreds of parallel subagents, and verifies its own work before reporting back. [By the way, if you want to see what Claude, Google AI, ChatGPT and Grok are saying about your business right now, start here (it's free): https://lnkd.in/g7taa2VA] This thing scored 69.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, the industry benchmark for AI coding agents. That is a new record. For context, OpenAI's GPT-5.5 scored 58.6%. Google's Gemini 3.1 Pro scored 54.2%. It also ships with a fast mode that runs at 2.5x the speed for three times less money. Here is what that means if you are not a developer. The global SaaS market does $376 billion a year. There are more than 30,000 SaaS companies worldwide. Solo founders represent 42% of SaaS companies that exceed $1 million in revenue. The opportunity has always been there, but for the last 20 years, there has been one gatekeeper standing between a business idea and a working product: the technical co-founder. The biggest market of unrealized businesses is people who understand their industry deeply, who know exactly what tool or platform their market needs, who have been sketching the solution on napkins for years, but who cannot code and cannot afford to hire someone who can. The marketer who knows what analytics tools actually get wrong. The accountant who knows what QuickBooks misses. The real estate agent who has been sketching a better CRM for three years. The fitness coach who sees the gap in client management software every single day. These people have domain expertise no developer has. They understand the customer because they ARE the customer. The technical barrier kept them out. Opus 4.8 removes that barrier entirely. You describe what you need. It architects the solution, writes the code, runs the tests, fixes the bugs, and handles the complex implementation that used to require a team of three or four developers working in parallel. Dynamic workflows mean it breaks a project into subtasks, runs them simultaneously, and verifies the output before handing it back. Here is how to make this work in you favor: Step 1: == Due to character limits I'll finish this in the comments.

Patrice M. liked thisPatrice M. liked thisAI companies trained their models on the entire open web without asking. Decades of freely shared knowledge, taken under the assumption that "open" meant discoverable and linkable. Now those models give away that knowledge without sending anyone back to the source. Publishers are responding predictably. Blocking crawlers. Building paywalls. Shutting down. The economics that funded the open web are breaking. The incentives that made people want to contribute are disappearing. And the companies accelerating this breakdown depend entirely on the open web for their training data... https://lnkd.in/ggc698P6
