Show Notes
The coin toss generation is here: CS grads have roughly a 50% shot at landing a job out of school, while 35-year IT veterans get cut loose five years from retirement. Meanwhile A16Z is filming dystopian airline ads about "increasing your runway," and Meta laid off 8,000 American workers while H-1B headcount stays intact. We're going to talk about all of it: grocery inflation, the death of purpose, ageism in tech, the fake CS shortage, and the 1974 law that might finally get enforced. Rome is still burning.

The week ran from a White House signing photo that could not spell "United States," through Scott Galloway's office talk for everyone but the boss, a researcher who says he found a demon inside GPT-3 that nobody put there, France burning under classrooms of 35 and no future, JD Vance on TV owning record worker visas, the Zizians (the AI doomer cult that killed the witness), an Amex grind of fifty one-on-ones a week, and JD Vance suspending Microsoft, Infosys, and Tata from PERM without calling it an H-1B ban.

Your first job should pay you to learn. I talk about the advice I gave a young engineer, the skills worth developing as AI changes software work, and why a small company or your own business may offer a better path than the corporate ladder. Building something of your own is hard, and I explain the tradeoffs.00:00 Leave when you stop learning00:12 My first engineering job00:49 Optimize for learning01:23 Building with AI01:49 Start a business or join a small team03:30 Keep your skills and discipline04:00 Build with a purposeFull livestream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mB1ZUaFzeUYNewsletter: https://newsletter.drjoshcsimmons.comAll links: https://drjoshcsimmons.com/linksEdited from the September 10, 2026 livestream.
I handed Instinct my Verizon bill and told it to negotiate. It came back with 25% off for a year. Meanwhile, I'm on the couch holding a newborn, sending the whole request through iMessage.This is my unsponsored test of Instinct AI: unused card benefits, unclaimed-property paperwork, Amazon orders, and a shipment of melted protein bars that turned into a refund and a replacement. I also try calling it and find out voice access isn't open to me yet.The part I keep coming back to is the business model. Why keep the assistant free? I look at reports about Instinct's ambitions in chips and data centers, and why I think the app is only part of the story.Discord, newsletter, and everything I'm building:https://drjoshcsimmons.com/linksAsk in Discord about Instinct invites.
