Also, don't build your own PaaS, that doesn't work out. Have you seen what top thought-leaders are saying now about Kubernetes. Boy, what a fun distraction that was! trytanzu.ai

Ah, hello, fellow marketers. I know you're wondering, does this OpenAI video shit mean I can stop doing those dumb-ass short videos to hustle up CTAs and quarterly charts on slides that number go up? Yes, absolutely. I just finished my FY3000Q4 OKRs with this KPI'ing masterpiece.

If you're not one of my fellow marketers, you're not allowed to look at this thread. There's plenty of videos of Abe Lincoln serving Sam Altman a sando for you to peep.

What’s probably happening: cote.io/2025/09/26/y...

You get the enterprise AI you deserve, or, while management search for AI workloads, workers gobble up the AI ROI

Recent discussions on enterprise AI reveal that while individual workers may benefit from productivity gains, the overall ROI for companies remains unclear and challenging to measure.

How it's going: "while quoting an HR executive at a Fortune 100 company griping: 'All of these copilots are supposed to make work more efficient with fewer people, but my business leaders are also saying they can't reduce head count yet.'"

We’re going to need all the coding automation we can get to make time to understand and use all these agentic frameworks and stacks that we’ll need to make AI useful beyond summarize meetings no one wanted to be in and making 10 second videos of Bob Ross spray painting cats eating sandwiches.
