## Resource

This week on The Learning Corner, Mia and Charles unpack why AI is making engineers more productive but more exhausted, exploring the hidden cost of constant tool evaluation and "thinking atrophy." They then dig into a provocative argument that venture capital's traditional model is fundamentally breaking down and why the future looks more like permanent capital than ten year fund structures. Finally, they walk through Julia Maltby's tactical guide on building a GP reference list that actually closes LPs, including why your best reference might be a founder from a deal that didn't work out.
