Atomic Monday #17 🚩
The Five Atomic Points for the Week
Good Morning, fellow Leader 🚀
To start the week on the right foot, here are 5 atomic points that might help you with your work or some interesting reads for the next few days.
Programmer Employees Don't Have a Career Anymore: A perspective of a senior developer about the employment in tech (based on the US market), and his view of having a bigger agency in his career by pursuing a self-employment route. An interesting perspective, however, is to be mindful that other markets (European, for example) have different setups and strategies.
Master AI Powered Project Management with Claude 3.7 (Full Guide): I have been sharing a lot of resources on AI lately, and this Atomic Monday won’t be different. Here are some interesting AI use cases for Project management-related tasks using Claude.
Use Gemini Like a Pro with NEW AI Features for 2025: A new version of Gemini has been rolled out. Here is an overview of the new features.
Why AI Demands a New Breed of Leaders: An article from MIT Sloan (if you register, there will be access for 3 free articles per month) about AI and Leadership. I think is missing some granularity on the data and some extra support on the claims, however, it is an interesting article worth reading.
Upstream and Downstream comparison: An article that quickly covers the notion of Upstream and Downstream flows in Kanban. I am preparing another article about Kanban, and this article might be a useful introduction.
This week I have a lot to share with you! A couple of collaborations with other authors are now available, and I invite you to have a read if you fancy the subject.
One of the best things about collaborations is getting to know different authors, and Orel Zilberman is one of the best people I’ve worked with on Substack. His newsletter, The IndiePreneur, focuses on Entrepreneurship and offers an interesting challenge. I have written an article oriented towards people who want to become freelancers, and it is available below:
Also in the context of working with other authors, I have the pleasure of sharing a recent collaboration with Benedikt Kantus. Some of my articles were featured in Leading in Product, which is focused on Product Management. It's always interesting to see the overlap in subjects between our newsletters. I'm leaving the link below for you to take a look.
Wish you a great week,
Artur
Thanks for collecting all these resources in one place!
