Had a great time speaking at @googleorg last night about @Crowdbotics and our work hiring + deploying top (female) software engineers from @Laboratoriala.

We’re pleased to be cosponsoring this year’s @hcomp_conf. Thanks for a great conference!

Just finished speaking at @LaboratoriaMX in Mexico City about how @crowdbotics finds the world's best technical talent — especially women.

Had fun speaking on AI history & results in Paul Li's Cognitive Science class @Cal. Big wows: neural storyteller, image synthesis from text.

I've seen more & more FB ads soliciting direct startup investments. The propensity for bilking is high. I don't think this will end well.

I didn't realize this was a new Slack feature. I thought everyone was just adding fun emoji to their name.

This is how you do cold email effectively (shared with permission!) The story was true.

Watching @Cal business researchers respond to the Flash Org work is fascinating. Their perspective on crowd work is so different from ours.

glitch.com/ is up and awesome. You can code on your phone. Also, this is the way for a technical community to get ahead.

The new (beta) worker interface from @amazonmturk is looking good. Task filtering, clean design, & open channels for feedback on the layout.

.@hqz is talking about how he and @elizgerber run "agile research" w/sprints, boosting research outcomes, student retention, faculty sleep!

Lili Cheng's keynote at #cscw2017 talks through multiple successes and new killer apps in bots: scheduling, entertainment, fun conversation

Powerful talk by YC's @benhuh and his coach @khalidhalim about importance of founders separating personal worth and a startup's success.
