Linked – How to avoid sleepwalking into irrelevance in the age of AI
ByMike McBride April 24, 2025April 24, 2025 Reading Time: 1 minute

I’m unsure how many tech jobs will be displaced by AI. Part of me doubts that GenAI tools are capable of doing all the work, but I also know that CEOs don’t necessarily care as long as it’s good enough and cheaper than hiring human beings. (Which it might be right now.)

Quick Thought – Willful Ignorance
ByMike McBride February 3, 2025February 2, 2025 Reading Time: 2 minutes

I learned nothing I could say or do would change their minds in those situations.
