It’s decades since the former US first lady was an employee. The world of work she grew up in has long gone Uh oh, Michelle Obama has been advising gen Z on navigating work. “One thing that’s important is to learn how to do something you don’t like to do and be good at it,” she told the audience at a podcast recording in London. “Every experience – the bad boss, the boring assistant job, the job you thought that you weren’t appreciated, the one that didn’t give you the assignment you wanted when you wanted it – all of that is learning to be resilient.” The podcast is called IMO, and she is entitled to her opinion, and it’s true that awful bosses, crap jobs and professional setbacks are inevitable, unpleasant learning experiences. Plus, Obama has navigated exceptionally tricky circumstances and put up with endless unjustified flak – she has plenty to teach everyone about grace under pressure. But there’s an implicit criticism of gen Z workers in her words. You see that a lot (they’re un

I’ve seen a lot of promising AI prototypes fall apart after launch. And it’s rarely because the model was bad. More often, the problem starts much earlier; teams treat the data layer like something they can figure out later. They’ll spend weeks fine-tuning prompts, testing models and debating evaluation scores, then throw together the retrieval pipeline over a weekend and move on. At first, everything looks great in demos. But a few months later, the system gives outdated answers; the embeddings no longer match the source documents, and nobody fully understands what changed. What started as an impressive prototype slowly becomes difficult to trust in production. The teams that avoid this tend to realize one thing early: Embedding pipelines are fundamentally a data engineering problem, not an entirely new AI discipline. It’s still ETL (Extract, Load, Transform) at its core, but with embeddings and vector stores as the destination instead of a warehouse. Once you start looking at it that
