A MOMENT TO CONSIDER

Marking the newsletter’s first anniversary, Kefei revisits his move from structural engineering into technology, the dot-com collapse, and the financial crisis. He recalls how uncertainty reshaped his understanding of adaptability, leadership, and the value of continuing to build.

He places those memories beside his concerns about AI’s effect on work. From his current role as a writer and mentor, the essay offers lived experience as company for readers facing their own transitions.
