• From AI agents replacing senior workers to Gen Z layoffs around the world, one thing is clear: human-to-human management and governance is harder than ever.
• Given the non-deterministic nature of neural networks and transformers, startups still need to hire humans and scale orgs.

To do so, they need:

• trust‑but‑verify processes (bottom‑up by default, authoritative in crunch)
• VP‑level build‑vs‑buy math with decision records
• and operator systems of record (ATS→CRM→handbooks) for onboarding, traceability, and visibility.

We present lessons from managers and operators at FAANGM, Alchemy, Meter, Nutanix, and more in a 1m checklist for founders whose vibe-coded prototypes aren't professionalizing themselves automatically into scalable companies.

In the meeting, ex-Meta ex-FAANG engineer Abhi was the guest speaker. The discussion included plans for the company, as described in https://wefunder.com/ldtalentwork/. Breakout rooms were formed to generate ideas for improving LD Talent, potentially using AI. Some of the ideas discussed were related to work approval, the limitations of AI's understanding of problems, payments, generating SEO-friendly ideas, and various other suggestions from different participants.

The main focus was on using AI to help LD Talent achieve its goal of hiring, managing, and upskilling diverse tech talent. Several individuals were mentioned in the discussion, sharing their thoughts and suggestions on different topics such as communication, code improvement, practicing interviews, client support, and fine-tuning talent profiles. Relevant resources and videos were also shared during the meeting.

Additionally, shout-outs were given to specific individuals for their outstanding work, including Priti Shaw for optimizing talent profiles, Castro Mbithi for automation work, Nutan for high-quality marketing emails and generative AI ideas for SEO, Jehoshaphat for promoting mental health on the platform, and Abhi for sharing his experiences and insights as a guest speaker.

Overall, the meeting focused on discussing plans for the company, generating ideas for improvement with AI, and recognizing individuals for their contributions.

Listen with humility.

This is a demo on how to use LD Talent for find and manage vetted remote developers. We will cover what questions to ask, how to gauge whether the candidate is interested, how to get the candidate to provide you estimates for how long a project may take and how to compare and assess those estimates.

Detachment but maintain relations. Limit time with family to "quality time" with family, such as dinners. Be friends with everyone, and yet make your own decisions. Don’t be afraid to change your mind if it means protecting your own decisions. Don’t get lethargic and waste time when with others when you don't want to. Respect your own time and create demand. It's a balance.

You cannot control others, only yourself and your actions / policies. For others, you can only line up incentives (even with closest people). Have self-respect.
