### AI overview

The author describes developing an AI-first mindset influenced by Co-Intelligence by Ethan Mollick. They advocate working with AI as a thinking partner and inviting it into everyday work, leadership, exploration, and decision-making while keeping humans in the loop.

### Source excerpt

AI is everywhere right now: new tools, new opinions, new predictions. And most of it sits somewhere between hype and fear. For me, it did not start with a tool. It started with a book. About two years ago, I kept seeing people I follow on X mentioning the same book: Co-Intelligence by Ethan Mollick. Enough times ...

### AI overview

This page brings together a four-part series of NLNOG presentations about the working life and career of technical people. The talks discuss communication between technical staff and management, career improvement, and changing or improving jobs, while noting that the perspective is primarily Dutch and western European.

### Source excerpt

Over the past eight years I've held a trilogy (in four parts) of presentations over at NLNOG covering the working life and career of technical people. This is around two hours of video and slides (with notes), but I've heard from people who binge-watched all of it in one go. The presentations have been online for ages, but you had to know where to look for them. On this page I bring them all together, with some context.

### AI overview

The author discusses a presentation at the NLNOG conference about lifelong learning and dealing with new technologies and change. The article considers how to distinguish hype and nonsense from genuinely useful technologies while avoiding both constant pursuit of novelty and excessive attachment to familiar tools.

### Source excerpt

On the 22nd of October, I presented at the annual conference of my beloved NLNOG, the community of Dutch network operators. NLNOG is a national treasure, an international treasure even, since we do everything in English. NLNOG holds several events every year, where we entertain and educate each other with talks on new and old technologies. We also have food and drink afterwards, sometimes even several drinks. It is a true community, with many of us anxiously looking forward to our next meetup.
