Engineer Calls AI Catch-Up Sabbaticals Futile

Paula Dozsa posted on X that people quitting jobs for months to catch up on AI make a mistake. She finds the idea funny because the field moves so fast that any pause leaves the person behind again. Dozsa, who builds whimsical AI at Tolan after prior iOS work at xAI and Spotify, says the way to follow progress is to join teams that use the tools in daily work rather than study from outside.
