Want your team to move in the right direction? You've got two options as a leader: 1. Hover over everyone's shoulder and micro-manage. 2. Set clear vision, goals, and values. And then get out of the way. You can't be everywhere. Stop trying. Master option #2.

The best product builders are relentless product users. Taste comes from opening apps, stumbling through onboarding flows, hitting walls, and feeling the difference between smooth and clunky. Chefs don’t learn taste from recipes. They taste food until they can tell what’s…
Glad to see @GroqInc join @Dropbox in supporting @McLarenF1. We're both setting new standards for speed in AI: Groq → ultra-fast AI inference at scale Dropbox Dash → instant access to the right file across your work apps to power AI workflows

@perplexity_ai @garrytan Search isn't a side quest in AI apps. It's the main quest. LLMs require real facts and up to date information. So the best AI companies need to be the best search and retrieval companies.
Prompt design in LLMs feels new, but it's the same trade-off software devs have considered forever: Expressiveness → JSON Efficiency → CSV Clarity → Markdown Hierarchy → XML Scale → retrieval In other words, pick the right tool for the job!

AI apps that can consistently find and retrieve the right context you care about at the right time will win. That's exactly why we are building Dash at @Dropbox. Upload, link, or connect all your content (and not just from Dropbox!) and we'll handle this for you.

Once tech companies started chasing "efficiency" in 2022, they flattened org charts and cut middle managers. The managers who remained suddenly had to manage much larger teams. Often 15+ reports. That only works if those teams are more senior: self-sufficient, needing fewer…

New research confirms what I've been saying for a while: you can't rely on just one retrieval method for your AI apps. Vectors = great for meaning, bad for exact keywords. Lexical indexes (BM25, etc.) = great for keywords, weak on semantics. The best apps use hybrid retrieval:…

@ClementDelangue Most AI models aren’t generalists. They are specialists. And there's over 200,000 LLMs open-sourced on Hugging Face. Routing to the right one is a smart decision. joshclemm.com/writing/llm-ro…
Every successful AI company you know is great at one thing 👉 context engineering. Great talk from @jeffreyhuber on the @latentspacepod who covers a wide range of context engineering topics: - context curation - retrieval, chunking, indexing - re-rankers - evals - memory

@thorstenball Agentic architectures definitely resemble the large-scale microservice architectures we've been building for years. Designing for failure, concurrency, and self-healing were best practices then and are best practices now with LLMs. x.com/joshclemm/stat…
