Check this out, @CoachTip21. Great interview to share with our Mental Warriors. Sounds a lot like what you are teaching our student-athletes. It’s extra special to hear it from another Perry alum. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
At the highest level, everyone has talent. What separates people is everything going on between the ears. “You’ve got to be talented to play… But at the end of the day, it’s coming down to the mental part of the game.” - Brock Purdy Mindset matters.

We will never forget. I used to be in those towers almost every day, helping Chase and several other financial firms. September 11 was a devastating day. We lost far too many good people, and their memory will remain with us forever. 9/11 — Never Forget. #911

What started out 35 years ago as “just a hobby” began a journey that would change technology. Today Linux is a shining example of how open collaboration can succeed, powered by the uncountable numbers of maintainers, developers, contributors and communities around the world.

"NaaS" has become one of the most overloaded terms in networking, vendors attach it to everything from a switch financing plan to a fully managed global fabric. raymota1.substack.com/p/what… #Mplify #NaaS

AI infrastructure: $9.3B in hyperscaler orders in FY26, ~4.5x last year, 3 new design wins in Q4 alone. Hardware refresh: campus networking orders up 20% YoY, and ~7% of the installed base has been refreshed so far. This is late, not early. raymota1.substack.com/p/cisc… @Cisco #AI

"We're GPU-constrained." I hear this in almost every operator conversation. It is usually wrong. Two primary sources landed this year that should change how you read every AI data center announcement. The numbers are not what the headlines say.

Meanwhile ERCOT is tracking ~410 GW of large loads seeking interconnection. ~87% data centers. ERCOT's all-time peak load is about 86 GW. Nearly 5x the peak demand of the entire Texas grid, almost all of it AI. Nobody is building that. It is option value, not projects.

Texas is about to price the option. Proposed PUCT rules: $50,000/MW financial security. That is $50M to hold a 1 GW position. Filing was cheap. It will not be. Watch how fast 410 GW compresses. Announced vs contracted vs energized, in full: raymota1.substack.com/p/you-…
