Ep 296: I'm a Culture Fit for Your Open Job If...

We're rejected from job applications so often and we don't even know why. Sometimes they claim we just don't fit. In reality, we fit the job description... but maybe the work and workplace don't match the job description. We'll start with my article https://medium.com/r-before-d/im-a-culture-fit-if-743eccd74983, and discuss from there!

Ep 295: The First Wave of The AI Bubble Bursting / The AI Squeeze / The Levitt Loop

Lots to cover today in the worlds of #AI #layoffs #startups and more! We're examining how the first wave of the AI bubble bursting (according to me) will affect companies trying to build AI into their products. Learn about what I'm calling the AI Squeeze.  Then we'll look at my new economic theory that I'm calling The Levitt Loop. It's actually two loops. One starts with layoffs and causes more layoffs. The other forces consumers to shop more by quality, which should force companies to improve quality and compete based on it... but will it?

Ask Me Anything 15 April 2026

This was one of our weekly Ask Me Anything sessions. It started with such an interesting and important set of questions from someone who wrote in anonymously. During the session, they added more context (anonymously).  I figured many people might hear themselves in these questions, so I wanted to share it to the podcast platforms. Initial question: I regret moving into UX and now I don't know what to do. On one hand, I'm glad I found a field that resonates with me and aligns with what I'm good at. On the other hand, I'm not happy about the people I've encountered in the larger community and how companies set people against each other. I'm sort of relieved that the industry as it exists now will collapse in on itself, but I'm also attached to it and not sure how to move out of it — how can I reframe my story so this makes sense and I can move forward with my life? I'm embarrassed by how UX has been treated. I find solace in the fact that AI will eat most people's jobs and they will have to justify their existence the same way UX people have. I'm angry, frustrated, and annoyed. I'm finding it hard to stay positive and I'm tired of rebranding.  Support the show [https://patreon.com/deltacxhive] Join our free community.
