As creation gets democratized, capital cries "deprofessionalization!" But are all those meta-roles in corporations really serving us — or just maintaining power structures? Let’s rethink what overhead ought to be in a world where anyone can build.

Is your AI just a glorified thesaurus? Many of us fall into the "AI Comfort Zone," using powerful tools for the same simple tasks. My new article on Medium explores why this is a career trap and offers 3 simple strategies to break free and turn your AI into a real creative partner.

Work Less, Blame More?
A thought-provoking article in DER SPIEGEL dives into Germany's debate over working hours, retirement, and identity.
Archived (no paywall): https://archive.is/B9pab

It starts with a simple observation: Germany works a lot—but not long. High participation, short hours. Why? What does that say about us?

Is AI coming for your job? It's a compelling narrative, but I argue it's fundamentally flawed. My new article on Medium explores why the "Great Job Replacement" is a myth and how we should welcome the era of the "AI Pilot."

It's not about competing with AI, but learning to manage it. Ready to take the controls?

Hello Mastodon! Time for a proper #introduction.

I'm a writer from Poland, fascinated by what I believe is the most important story of our time: the rise of Artificial Intelligence. I don't focus on the code, but on the human side of this revolution – how it impacts our work, our creativity, and our minds.

I share my deep dives and reflections on my Medium blog. You can find my work here:

AI devs are now training agents to think and act like themselves.

They’re cloning their workflows, communication, even decision-making—creating AI “twins” that work like them.

One founder said: “It thinks like me. Sometimes I forget I didn’t write that.”

We’re not just automating…
We’re replicating ourselves.

Firecrawl, a YC startup, is offering $1M to hire 3 AI agents!
They're betting big on AI to revolutionize data analysis. How will this impact the future of work?

Work from home isn’t dying — it’s the new default for millions

A massive global study led by Stanford economist Nicholas Bloom found:
WFH levels have stabilized worldwide since 2023
Hybrid is most common in the U.S., UK, Canada, Australia, and other individualistic societies
Companies benefit: a 35% drop in quit rates when employees can WFH 2 days/week
Productivity holds steady; retention and savings go up
Full in-office mandates? Increasingly out of sync with data

The key takeaway? Return-to-office mandates aren’t a comeback — they’re a cultural countertrend.

What an incredible experience spending time with the young professionals at LinkedIn WIT [In]spire Day!

These young people are our future. They’re bright, curious, and full of potential. They left me inspired by the future they will help shape. As they step into the next chapter of their professional lives, I shared three guiding principles that have served me well:

1. Get stuff done.
Don’t get distracted by every trend. Build the skills that enable you to deliver real results. Talk is cheap, execution matters.

2. Find work joy (thank you Shanell for introducing me to this term!).
Your definition of fulfillment will evolve, let it. Give yourself permission to explore what energizes you and revalidate it often. Know who’s going to be your advisor during time of indecision- for me, that’s Sabrina. Who's got your back?

3. Have tenacity, but also freedom.
Progress takes time. Stay committed. Be patient. But also recognize when it’s time to move forward in a new direction. Think of your career not as a ladder, but more like a spider - explore (thanks for this analogy, Sabry!)

To all who are just starting their careers: You are more ready than you think. Show up, stay curious, and lean into growth. The world needs your ideas, your energy, and your drive.

Let’s build the future together.

Thank you Christine for providing me the opportunity to spend time with these amazing young people today at WIT [In]spire Day!

We were promised 20-hour workweeks.
Technology was supposed to free us.
Instead, we got burnout, busywork, and gig apps.

A short reflection on why productivity didn't lead to freedom — and how a post-growth economy could give us time back:

Duolingo has laid off a significant number of translators and writers over the past two years, replacing them with AI to boost efficiency.
