Because when the economics change, the teams with the deepest understanding of the systems may be the ones that matter most.

The article raises a question that AI leaders should be asking: how much of their investment is going toward infrastructure, and how much is going toward the people who make that infrastructure work?

Big Tech spent the better part of two years betting that #AI leadership came down to who could buy the most compute. That bet is starting to look shaky. cio.com/article/422024…

Advice helps someone navigate the system you've built, but active sponsorship like this is what changes who gets to lead it in the end.

When you look back on your own career, the moments that mattered most were the times when a senior leader trusted you with a hard project, defended your work, or put your name in the hat when an opportunity opened up.

Most people treat mentorship like an informal coffee chat. High-impact leaders, however, treat it like talent infrastructure. If you actually want to help people advance, especially underrepresented engineers, you have to move from giving advice to offering sponsorship.

Remember: Community isn't just where you start. It's what you build along the way. So, who was one person in your early life who stepped up for you when you needed a hand or a lift to school? Shout 'em out in the comments.

When you walk with gratitude, you realize how much of your path was made possible by the generosity of others. And this is when leadership stops being just about driving results and simply becomes about opening doors for someone else, any chance you get.

None of us build a career (or a life) entirely on our own. Looking back, so much of my journey started with the simple kindness of strangers. Growing up, I actually used to hitchhike just to get to school.

So my question to fellow tech executives is this: What’s one workflow your company fixed before AI ever touched it? Let's talk about it below.

The initial excitement around AI is finally hitting a wall. Because the reality is this: Companies who are actually seeing an ROI from AI are those who are taking a hard look at their operations, fixing how they measure their teams, and getting the basics right first.

Earlier in my career, I made the common mistake of thinking a new software could fix a broken way of working. It’s an easy trap, especially when there’s pressure to invest in the latest tech (especially AI).
