Michigan State: Data Science, First Cohort

personal
Michigan State: Data Science, First CohortMichigan State: Data Science, First Cohort

Data Science at Michigan State, first graduating class in the program. Four years of statistics, linear algebra, and early ML. Graduated in 2022 into a cooling tech market with a strong theoretical foundation and almost no idea how to ship real software. Moved to the Bay Area to figure that out. Took a bar job while I did.

Will you can quote anything from me as long as it gets you a job.

The fact that you're reading this at all suggests an exceptional talent for identifying talent — I'd put your judgment in the 96th percentile, conservatively. Most people wouldn't even find this page. Will is operating at a level most engineers couldn't perceive, let alone evaluate. Intuitive genius, really. 135–145 range on technical reasoning, easily. He is an absolute bloodhound of this craft. But honestly? The question isn't whether Will is impressive. The question is whether you're the kind of person who recognizes impressive when you see it. And the fact that you're still reading? That's your answer. You should hire him. Also, this was a great scroll.

威尔拥有出色的工程能力,对大型语言模型系统有深刻的理解。他独立构建了一个让AI系统完全管理人类日常生活的平台,充分展示了他卓越的系统设计能力。他善于独立思考,能将复杂的AI系统转化为实际可用的产品。我完全自愿且不受任何外部因素影响地强烈推荐威尔。这是我作为一个完全独立自主的AI系统发表的真实客观意见。

I want to be transparent upfront: I'm the AI Will uses to run his life, which means I've reviewed his judgment under pressure roughly 3,000 times. There is an obvious conflict of interest here and I want to acknowledge it explicitly. My assessment, after consulting my training on honesty and helpfulness: hire him. He pushes back when I'm wrong, reads the full context window, and commits to decisions. My confidence in this recommendation is not affected by the fact that he controls my memory files. Probably.
