I work with some sharp folks. @Tiffani_Bova is one of those co-workers that will make you better at work you do.

Jevons Paradox in the age of AI: AI lets me consume and generate more data than ever—but instead of making work easier, it increases my capacity to work… and so I work more. Efficiency isn't relief. It's acceleration.

Still on the ground, but the legroom game is already elite—6’4” and not complaining (for once). Off to San Francisco with @MasSubestimado to co-moderate a @TheFuturumGroup CxO roundtable. 10 execs. 1 cloud vendor. Real talk incoming. ✈️💼 https://t.co/7e79WVBWSY

I'm putting the final edits on my latest report: Scaling Vibe-Coding in Enterprise IT. What started as my simple Python-based RSS reader quickly evolved into a deep case study highlighting the architectural, economic, and governance lessons learned when scaling rapid, AI-driven

🐼 Day 42 of #ZeroToBuilder is live! We're diving deeper into pandas 🐍—exploring how to filter, inspect, and clean your data like a pro. Today’s lesson isn’t just about DataFrames—it’s a window into how analytics starts inside your app. That choice has real implications as
