I saw a thing from @DanielPriestley this morning that was interesting for it’s honesty. 4M - 5M views = 100 - 200 sales. Most people don’t get those numbers. And will never get those numbers. So most people should be playing a different game surely?

Why is nobody is talking about the operating model required to make AI do something useful in a real organisation. Buying better tools won’t transform software delivery. Changing how work flows through your organisation will. It’s really not about the smartest AI or shiny new tools…. You must know this by now. A new operating model is required.

Listening to @neiltyson trying to explain probability to @StevenBartlett for a good 20 mins is a crazy combination of super funny and horribly painful 😂

If you have one thing holding the business back - speed up cycles. Go from meeting weekly to daily. Start all meetings with the metric you wanna improve. Go granular on individual accounts. This is the fastest way I've seen big turnarounds happen. Cram a year of work into weeks.

Gordon is Head of Engineering at PureGym. He described moving their app from Java to Kotlin. Six years. Module by module. Function by function. Organic. Incremental.

Gordon's question: what happens to a team that ignores this for 9 months? His answer: like a developer on punch cards who never learned to type. You start having very different conversations with people.

Everyone feels behind. That's just where we're at. No one knows exactly where they are.

I've been diving into OpenAI's piece on agent-first engineering with Codex. Worth a read if you're thinking about how agentic systems are reshaping how we build software.
