00:11:11 Sara Golub: Hi! Would love to connect with you all https://www.linkedin.com/in/sara-golub/ 00:42:32 Aurelia Kare: People are miserable, living in fear of the next culling 00:44:24 David: Hahaha…as a 20-year resident of Austin, I can attest there are no jobs here. 00:46:27 Katie Bochenski: If anyone could help I am also looking for a job. I have 10 year of experience as a director of IT in non profit industry managing operations and small help desk team. I am looking for similar role or help desk management or desktop support management. If anyone has openings or could help that would be wonderful. I can be reached at kmbochenski@icloud.com 00:51:52 Debbie Levitt: I'm looking for work of all types as well. Remote. CX/UX, coaching, strategy, product, etc. 🙂 Thanks! 00:56:34 Josephine: josephinegiaimo@gmail.com 00:58:19 Debbie Levitt: They think they can use various AI tools instead of hiring us. They think our expertise is easily replaced. 01:07:28 David: A couple of years ago, I was pleasantly surprised to read Jeff Gothelf (a lean startup author) ditch the long-espoused MVP concept because it always inflated expectations. He instead concluded that “experiment” was the appropriate substitute. 01:07:32 George Zipperlen: big Business corporate processes can't be disrupted like e.g. cab companies can be disrupted by technology?? 01:08:14 David: I believe it 01:08:54 George Zipperlen: Old news, Tom de Marco disavowed software metrics 01:09:35 Debbie Levitt: Jeff's stuff is mostly speed over quality, and I have hours of this on YouTube. Search Delta CX and "lean UX"... probably my episode 115 is the best one. It has chaptering. You can jump straight to me burning Lean UX down. :) 01:10:11 Neil Ormos: It seems that we are hearing many tips about what companies, or at least types or categories of them, to avoid and things not to do. Who can offer concrete, actionable suggestions that we in the audience can do? Not necessarily a recipe as might appear in a cookbook, but something we can actually do without requiring time travel so as to have picked just the right branch of technology (or whatever) to have pursued? 01:16:07 Jeff: unicorns, hype and bubbles, harriman house, Oct 2024.

Your work possibilities. :) 01:28:27 George Zipperlen: or quantum could be the next ai bubble pumped and dumped by darth envidious 01:37:23 Aurelia Kare: I think authenticity is the key 01:38:02 Aurelia Kare: Oh no, I meant network, but authentically 01:38:21 Debbie Levitt: But what does that look like? 01:38:37 Aurelia Kare: Like p*rn, you know it when you see it 01:39:00 Debbie Levitt: We're all trying to help people here. 01:39:23 Aurelia Kare: So Josephine! 01:39:38 David: If anything, being under 35 works to your advantage. Ageism in tech and tech-adjacent fields is not for the faint of heart. Experience and knowledge (to say nothing of knowledge management) aren’t as rewarded anymore.
