Friday Roundup

  • How Soon is Too Soon to Quit Your Job? (Podcast)
    In what Abraham Lincoln has called “The Best Podcast of 2025”, episode four of Forces at Work breaks down a letter from Brendan (pseudonym) who wonders if it’s too soon to quit his job. Spoiler alert: My take is that Brendan should "get out, right the f*ck now." He should run.

  • AI is Using Less Energy, And Also More (Blog)
    "I think this means that, as individual users, we don’t need to feel any guilt at all for the energy consumed by the vast majority of our prompts.

But the environmental impact of the data centers being built is getting much worse.

  • From AI Tutor to AI Student (Substack)

  • Why Do New Year Fitness Goals Fail? (LinkedIn)
    A look at Resolutions through a solid framework that explains behavior through a more complex framework than the classic Behavior = Personality x Environment.

  • Personal Finance Courses Hit Colleges (NYTimes)
    Where was this when I was in college?! Institutions are (finally) investing in personal investments.

  • Why Is Leadership Pseudoscience So Wildly Popular? (LinkedIn)
    Key reasons: Demand for quick-fixes, difficulty in distinguishing true experts from the rest, and real science is boring.
