California's 2025 law requiring large frontier AI developers to publish safety frameworks and report critical safety incidents. Full text on the California Legislature's site.
A nonprofit that works to make the tech industry share its prosperity and answer for economic harms. It focuses on housing and working conditions, and publishes research such as the 2026 California AI Compass.
Why I recommend it: An advocacy group, so its reports argue a position. Its research on contract workers and AI in the workforce is useful for anyone weighing a tech job.
A duty-by-duty walkthrough of California's automated decisionmaking technology rules — approved 23 September 2025, in effect from 1 January 2026, with ADMT obligations from 1 January 2027 — and where each duty can actually be enforced in a system. Covers pre-use notice, opt-out, human review, appeals and per-decision record keeping. The rules apply when computation replaces human judgment on a significant decision about work, money, housing, education or health.
Why I recommend it: The clearest free explanation I have found of what these rules require, and the section on significant decisions is directly relevant if an employer screens you by machine — you get notice, an opt-out and a route to a human. Read it knowing DeepInspect sells the kind of control it describes, so the framing pushes toward buying a product; the legal dates and duties are checkable against the state agency's own page, which it links.
A regional roundup of paid tech apprenticeships available to California residents, with eligibility notes and an alternative program for people who do not land one.
In plain terms: This guide details paid tech apprenticeships across California alongside a free IT training alternative. You can compare pay, eligibility rules, and training formats to find a practical path into an entry-level tech job.
Why I recommend it: Regional lists like this beat national lists when you need something you can actually commute to or qualify for.
A step-by-step guide to forming an LLC (name search, registered agent, state filing, operating agreement, free EIN, business banking) and electing S-corp tax status, with filing fees and direct portal links for NY, NJ, GA, and CA, plus a section on 1099 contractor and consulting taxes.
In plain terms: This guide explains how to set up an LLC or elect S-corp tax status for freelance and consulting work. You can use it to register your business, get a free tax ID, and understand your self-employment taxes.
Why I recommend it: Most consultants should start as a plain LLC and only add the S-corp election once net profit is consistently past roughly $50-80K. Get the free EIN yourself — never pay for it.
