The US government is looking for help...and so are we.
We’re back with another edition of Machine Learnings, brought to you by the folks at Heyday.
Heyday is an AI-powered research assistant that helps you retain more of what you learn by resurfacing content you forgot about.
We’re building our team, and with all the news of recent tech layoffs, we want to lend a hand. If you – or your friends – are interested in solving complex interface problems, let’s talk. My co-founder Samiur (Heyday’s CEO) puts it clearly:
Today, we’re a team of 5 friendly, ambitious folks trying to create a better future for the internet. Now we’re looking for a frontend engineer to make that a reality.
Awesome, not awesome.

This week, we’re spotlighting Andy Sparks – former co-founder of Mattermark, former CEO of Holloway, and an executive coach to CEOs and founders.
Andy’s newsletter, Hoo Boy, explores the difference between poor and great management specifically for founders of new and growing startups, but just about any manager would find it useful. Hoo Boy goes out twice a month on Sundays, and the bulk of each issue covers one “big idea” on management.
Take a look at this recent piece on fact vs. meaning, and subscribe to Andy’s work!
