AI AdoptionIn 1980 I wrote Pascal for a water district that lost contact with half its infrastructure for weeks each winter, and we built a control system that ran without humans, knew its own limits, and failed safely when it hit…
AI AdoptionMost AI skills lists are really tool lists, ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, and the tools turn over every six months. The human skills underneath do not. Here are eight capabilities that mattered more in 2026 than five years earlier, and that…
AI AdoptionAI is not coming for your job. Other people using AI are. The doomer framing is wrong because it excuses you from the only action that matters; the hype framing fails the same way. The accurate, uncomfortable version: the machine…
AI AdoptionRetrain or be replaced, there is no third option. Every excuse you are giving yourself for not learning AI now is one a previous generation gave itself about the typewriter, the PC, the internet, and they were all wrong. The…

AI AdoptionAdopting AI without breaking your business comes down to four moves: aim it at the boring, repetitive work that drains your people, not the judgment they are paid for; map the edge cases before you deploy; keep a human wherever…
AI AdoptionTwo creators launched the same month: Sarah handed everything to AI, Mike kept his own voice. Six months on, Mike's readers trusted him and bought, while Sarah's posts vanished into the feed, her fake citations got her flagged, and the…
