Thoughtworks

And actually how helpful it is for your work.

And this is something I think has come up a couple of times with the likes of Natty from ThoughtWorks is actually it is really helpful to live and work in different countries, but it's rare the business is going to definitively ask someone in mobility to move.

It sometimes happens, but it's not always the case.

But actually, if you put it out there that like, hey, I think I could do this job or benefit, even if it's for six months of going to Singapore for that office, that's a real hub for us right now.

Now, this next article goes into it in a different perspective, kind of diving down into how one company specifically handled this particular problem.

So on the ThoughtWorks blog.

They say renting the frontier, owning the core IP.

And from their perspective, they threw some actual numbers into what they were seeing and then what they were seeing after they rethought that whole concept of what to use in terms of a model.

So can you walk us through that? Absolutely.

Yeah.

So ThoughtWorks is a global technology consultancy.

And this definitely speaks to the value of open weight models.

At the time you're listening, I'm fairly sure.

Thoughtworks.com forward slash radar publication will be in early November.

You can hear about all of these themes.

You can roll down into the smaller details.

His dad was a Marxist academic, and this was a man who grew up, who was born in the United States, and he grew up as a Marxist, self-avowed.

He ends up creating a tech company called ThoughtWorks, selling it in 2017 for an estimated $785 million plus.

He immediately starts flowing money into a new network of nonprofits that start being established in 2017 with really innocuous names like People's Forum and Tricontinental.

Breakthrough News, Justice and Peace Foundation.

Next, he went to Chicago and started a company, providing management consulting for equipment leasing firms.

Two or three years later, the company was doing well, so he started hiring people and, incidentally, gave the company a name, ThoughtWorks.

What did this company actually do? To put it simply, it was an outsourcing company that helped big corporations write software and build systems.

The clients were quite famous, such as Microsoft, Oracle, several large banks, and The Guardian in the UK.

Back in those days, ThoughtWorks was very well known in the programmer community.

His company kept growing, and by 2008, it had 1,000 employees, with an annual growth rate of 20-30%.

So it expanded globally, opening branch offices in many places.

Logically speaking, with the company growing so fast, Singham, who admired Mao Zedong, should have advocated for communism, but 97% of the company's shares were always held by him alone.

We want to formally credit the sources that made today's analysis possible.

TypeSafe AI's white papers, the Shikudo white paper titled Build an Enterprise Decision Layer, the AI ML API documentation, Wikipedia's entry on Jev, blog posts from ThoughtWorks, U11D, and Nuggets, and excellent YouTube deep dives from MyStudy, Yash Talker, and ByteGoose AI.

Until next time, keep building.

We've got NGOs.

We've got weird kind of structure of companies like ThoughtWorks.

They actually took CSR as a pillar of their businesses.

So just in your view, what's the advantages and disadvantages of social enterprises addressing side-level problems versus the other approaches?

That loop I think AI does not need.

Um, there was a good article That got posted on, uh, uh, on the ThoughtWorks blog, um, about basically them going back and doing some research to see if they asked agents to do test-driven development, if it improved or hurt the outcomes.

And it hurt the outcomes in the end.

It was just...
