HOW TO BECOME A FORWARD DEPLOYED ENGINEER (53 MIN MASTERCLASS) Some forward deployed engineers are getting PAID $1M+/year (kinda crazy, I know) And I REALIZED almost nobody talks about HOW they do it in any detail. It's basically nowhere online. So I asked someone who does it ALL DAY LONG for Fortune 500 companies to walk me through it, step by step. and he shares EXACTLY how he does it https://t.co/uzgFccsgza Here's what I learned: 1.

TL;DR · AI 摘要
成为年薪百万的FDE需遵循五步法：倾听、分类优化、嵌入现有工具、选择低成本模型、持续测量验证，该方法已帮助Fortune 500公司落地AI代理。
核心要点
- 优先使用公司现有工具部署AI代理，避免学习新应用
- 70%流程可通过删除或简单规则自动化（数据来源：FDE实践案例）
- 部署6个月后需用量化指标证明价值（验证周期关键点）

Here's what I learned: 1. They start by listening, not building. They interview the people doing the work and let agents quietly read the company's data for a few weeks. The real process is almost always 3x longer than the one on paper. 2. They sort every step into four buckets: delete it, automate it with a simple rule, give it to an AI agent, or keep a human on it. A surprising amount ends up in the first bucket. 3. They build inside the tools the company already uses. Nobody has to learn a new app. When a human needs to sign off, it's just a Slack message. 4. They use the cheapest model that gets the job done. Most of this work doesn't need the most expensive AI. 5. They measure everything before and after, then come back 6 months later and prove it worked. This + concrete client examples + way more on today's episode of
