People often tell you to “Stay the course.” But growth often comes from knowing when to change direction. Life isn’t about stubbornly sticking to one path. It's about navigating toward what aligns with your goals and values. Walking away from a wrong fit isn’t failure. It's wisdom. True strength lies in knowing when to move on. 🙏🏻

5 things developers know about implementing AI that most experts don’t (save for later) When it comes to AI, strategy consultants often talk about what’s possible. Developers, however, bring a deeper understanding of how to do more with it. Here’s what developers know that most experts miss — and how it could transform your business. 1️⃣ Custom API Integration for Product Filtering ↳ You can use custom APIs to fetch and filter products dynamically from your catalog while holding a conversation with the user in natural language. ↳ This ensures that the AI provides accurate, personalized results without requiring the user to browse through endless options. (Watch the complete demo video in the comment) 2️⃣ Clean User Input ↳ Users are prone to writing messages that are not very clear to the AI. One of the useful hacks to avoid “Answer Not Found” is to pre-process the user message once. ↳ For example, if someone writes “5 bucks,” the system changes it to “$5” so it understands better. 3️⃣ Live Updates are easy ↳ Connecting the agents to your inventory system helps them understand better and always know the latest information about the products without training them every time the stock updates. ↳ This integration makes the AI scalable, ensuring it can adapt to growing inventories or seasonal product changes seamlessly. 4️⃣ Protect User Data ↳ No code AI automation experts store user form data in Airtable, they don’t hash it, let alone advanced encryptions. ↳ For a secure and compliant setup, implementing basic encryption protocols can safeguard sensitive data and boost user trust. 5️⃣ Learn From Your Mistakes ↳ If the AI agent doesn’t understand something, it needs a backup plan. Developers create fallback replies like, “I didn’t catch that. Could you clarify?” This makes conversations less frustrating. ↳ But at the same time, we can set up systems that can forward them to the team, to answer when they can, and update the agent knowledge dynamically from the new learnings.

15 Signs You're Not the Problem: It's your toxic manager. You've questioned yourself long enough. It's time to see the situation for what it really is. 1. They feel threatened by your growth: ↳ They dim your light to protect their ego. 2. They use 'culture fit' as an excuse for bias: ↳ Diverse candidates are unfairly rejected. 3. They refuse to address toxic team behaviour: ↳ Workplace bullies thrive while victims are silenced. 4. They use 'we're like a family here' to justify unpaid overtime: ↳ Guilt-tripping replaces fair compensation. 5. They dismiss fresh ideas as acts of rebellion: ↳ Their favourite phrase: 'That's how we've always done it.' 6. They treat rest and boundaries as signs of weakness: ↳ Your well-being gets sacrificed. 7. They disguise overwork as a 'growth opportunity': ↳ Extra tasks are wrapped in false promises of advancement. 8. They play favourites based on personal loyalty: ↳ Agreement is preferred over hard work. 9. They schedule meetings to discuss other meetings: ↳ Productivity drowns in pointless discussions. 10. They demand approval for tasks you've mastered years ago: ↳ Micromanagement takes precedence over trust. 11. They praise loyalty over performance: ↳ Silent compliance outweighs actual results. 12. They push for innovation but hate change: ↳ Progress stops outside of their comfort zone. 13. They never take vacation, and neither can you: ↳ Their burnout culture feels like a prison. 14. They don't trust the experts they hired: ↳ Your expertise gets buried under their insecurity. 15. They're too scared to defend the team to senior leadership: ↳ Your team takes the fall while they protect themselves. Your worth isn't measured by their limitations. Never settle for less than you deserve. ♻️ Repost to help others. 🔔 Follow Dora Vanourek for more.

Have you ever stood at the edge of the water on the beach and felt the sand being pulled away from your feet? That's what comes to mind when I look at this image and think about data exfil risks and companies these days. In 2005, you could exfiltrate 128MB of data from a company with a chip the size of a fingerprint. In 2014, that same sized chip could exfiltrate 128GB and in 2024 the size would be 2TB. The thing that struck me the hardest was the fact that 128MB of customer data in 2005 has just the same (if not more) potential to cause damage in 2024. Which reminds me of the duality of progress. While we're doing leaps and bounds in terms of data storage advancements, companies are not keeping up with the speed in terms of detecting this data exiting the business. When we think about security, the benefits of storage are subjective. Have you actually tested your orgs ability to detect data exfil?

OEMS MUST LEARN: Reliability and Owner satisfaction AREN'T THE SAME!! Maybe it's why you're going broke. Different people want different things from their cars. That's why we have a wealth of models, body styles and price points. What's more, some people want reliability, some people want satisfaction. Alfa Romeo has always drastically prioritized driver experience over reliability. Toyota the opposite. So, comparing these two brand indices by @visual capitalist and @consumer reports is revealing. It's always worth pointing out that reliability is always going to be more factual and data driven, while satisfaction is about "feelings". Here's some thoughts: 1. ELECTRIC ONLY OEMS The 2 electric only brands are Rivian and Tesla, are at the top of the list for satisfaction; and at or near the bottom of the list for reliability! From reading many comments, you'd think it would be the other way around! Here's what I think is the issue: There's a lot more to making a vehicle than just drivetrain, and I suspect it's the everything else that's causing problems, especially as both are doing cutting edge technology WAY in front of incumbent OEMs. However, if we're measuring reliability for drivetrain only, I expect EVs to be WAY in front. 2. RELIABILITY Quite remarkably, reliability is closely grouped with the manufacturer's country of origin. Japan at the top, US at the bottom; which suggests country culture is imposed of process and reliability. 3. SOME SUCK AT BOTH The 3 least satisfying vehicle brands Jeep, Volkswagen and Nissan also have below average reliability. I suspect that this is not a coincidence. That's because the vehicles don't have other strong redeeming qualities like Tesla and Rivian. Also notable, these bottom 3 are all in deep financial poo 💩 right now, wheras Tesla and BMW are very solid. Interestingly, one model is an exception. Jeep Wranglers have extremely high resale, which supports neither assumptions. These things are terrible to drive everywhere but hard core off-road trails. 4. PERSONAL REFLECTION Interestingly, my own experience doesn't completely lineup with this. Our 2x new Subaru WRXs had appalling reliability and we're reasonably fun to drive. The Toyota's had OUTSTANDING reliability and weren't that fun (though the Tacomas and 4Runners were kinda cool). The Teslas were both a bit average in build quality, even if they were reliable. However, they're super fun to own and drive. In other words, with all of this your personal experience may vary. What's your takeaway from this graphic? Is OEM financial performance and owner satisfaction correlated? Do you prioritize owner satisfaction over reliability in your vehicle purchases?
