The hardest role for AI startups to hire: technical meme-poster hybrids, SF/NYC onsite
dejavucoder · x · 2026-10-10
dejavucoder lists the hardest role for AI startups right now: a hybrid who is chronically online yet socially functional, knows current trends and frontier shitposting, has real technical chops (can RL post-train 1T param models, read Flash Attention 4 in 15 minutes), can shill the product in interesting ways, runs events, and works onsite in SF/NYC. The exaggerated job listing reflects the scarcity of technical-plus-marketing hybrid talent in AI.
