HOW TO BECOME A FORWARD DEPLOYED ENGINEER (53 MIN MASTERCLASS)
Some forward deployed engineers are getting PAID $1M+/year (kinda crazy, I know)
And I REALIZED almost nobody talks about HOW they do it in any detail. It's basically nowhere online.
So I asked someone who does it ALL DAY LONG for Fortune 500 companies to walk me through it, step by step. and he shares EXACTLY how he does it
youtube.com/watch?v=1a5HxU52โฆ
Here's what I learned:
1. They start by listening, not building. They interview the people doing the work and let agents quietly read the company's data for a few weeks. The real process is almost always 3x longer than the one on paper.
2. They sort every step into four buckets: delete it, automate it with a simple rule, give it to an AI agent, or keep a human on it. A surprising amount ends up in the first bucket.
3. They build inside the tools the company already uses. Nobody has to learn a new app. When a human needs to sign off, it's just a Slack message.
4. They use the cheapest model that gets the job done. Most of this work doesn't need the most expensive AI.
5. They measure everything before and after, then come back 6 months later and prove it worked.
This + concrete client examples + way more on today's episode of @startupideaspod (thanks to @vasuman)
A full course pretty much on the topic aivalable to you 100% for free.
This episode is for ANYONE who wants to be a FDE or who wants to make their company AI-native by deploying agents.

The faster and higher minimum wage increases, the sooner we get robots deployed.

Varda CEO @WillBrueyโs mark-to-market on space enthusiasm after Starshipโs latest launch is pretty bullish.
โItโs hard to not be enthusiastic about the space industry after you see a skyscraper spitting out data centers into orbit.โ

The statue of Prometheus is finally finished.
It was cast in Paris, crossed the Atlantic, and was assembled at Starbase. It took us 100 days to go from nothing to this.
People of the West, we have lived through an era devoid of dreams, devoid of destiny.
But the time has come to reclaim our dream of antiquity.
In a few months, we will start building a new city. It will be the most magnificent city in all of history.
After all, the great dream of the West has always been to rebuild Rome.
Come walk beside us in this endeavor. The world is waiting.

After so many calls for intrusive regulation, this seems like a sound approach and great step forward for the future of AI, America, and free markets.
Only President Trump could convene all the leaders of the top companies developing chips, data centers and frontier models for Super Intelligence. This new Industrial Revolution has already created a million new jobs and is spurring a bigger infrastructure build-out than the railroads, canals and grid combined. I was honored to witness history as the leaders of the frontier lab companies signed the White House Accord on Super Intelligence, accepting responsibility for the safe development of their products and imposing new internal controls and external audits. This is far better than waiting years for some international agreement that would probably never happen. President Trump continues to ensure that U.S. remains the technology leader while putting Americans first.

Exciting educational capabilities have arrived for anyone with intention to explore
Maybe if physics had always been this easy to visualize and learn, we might have had more physicists than ever.
AI is making learning so much easier to understand and actually fun.
This is an electromagnetic field visualization built using Claude Opus 5.5.
I do not think I have ever understood this subject better than I did by simply seeing it visualized like this ๐
