"Earning your fruits of labor morally as opposed to the mere market value of labor and capital is a concept derived from Karl Marx' Theory of Alienation. More than 15 million people have died under socialist rule from starvation alone."

So let me take this a step further. You want to meet your boss' boss for 10 minutes to present them something. 10 minutes of his time are an equivalent of more than 20 hours of your time. So if your initial idea was to "take maybe 1-2h" to prepare for this -> You are underprepared by at least one order of magnitude.

I much rather prefer someone who needs 3 seconds to triage a question and tell me: "This is X, I know this, here is the solution" or "This is Y, I don't know it, but I will get back to you within 24h".

I do absolutely not want a "Well let's think jointly about this for a couple of minutes". There is no jointly with your boss. Let's do a some math of a 1:12 manager to direct report ratio. That means for every hour you have, your boss only has 5 minutes. And if you talk to your boss' boss, they have 25 seconds for every of your hours.

I think upskilling is the right move in this environment and it is dead simple: Invest a couple of days to show initiative, learn agents yourself and be able to speak from true experience.

- Any long-winded answer to a question is immediate out and has been for years.

- Not having used agents and not being able to comment on what to do and what not to do with them is immediate out since early this year.

Given the latest quantum algorithmic advances by Google, Bitcoin is expected to be fully broken by 2029. In this position you will design post-quantum cryptography that goes beyond the BIP-360 stopgap to fully solve the quantum threat on Bitcoin and transition it safely into the post quantum age.

Please describe your cryptographic experience, your Bitcoin experience and the flavor of PQ-crypto that you believe can save BTC. Apply to: savingbitcoin@pindush.net

If anybody can create something similarly interactive, educational and hands-on for microbiology or robotics, I am happy to sponsor your cost.

We are building mobile products with a small, fast team and want a Flutter developer who is unusually strong at directing AI-driven software delivery. This is not a traditional "write the code yourself" role. We want someone who can decompose product and technical work clearly, set up coding agents and containerized environments so they can run independently, let them execute with very wide autonomy, and then use AI again to review, challenge, and validate the resulting commits. The standard here is technical excellence without manual coding as the primary lever. 100x engineering is the norm.

You might be a fit if you:

- are deeply experienced with Flutter and mobile product development

- are comfortable leveraging AI agents to plan, implement, test, and commit code with minimal guardrails

- can use AI-based review workflows to inspect commits, spot regressions, and maintain quality without doing line-by-line manual coding yourself

- have strong product and engineering judgment, and can tell when an AI-generated solution is structurally right vs. superficially plausible

- own and regularly use both a physical Android device and a physical iPhone/iPad for live app testing

- are familiar with provisioning, signing, installing, debugging, and validating Flutter apps on real devices, not just simulators

We care a lot about velocity, correctness, and taste. We are specifically looking for someone who can treat AI as the execution layer while still owning architecture, quality, release readiness, and real-device validation.
