One of my favorite things to do daily: Dream. Think about the perfect set up. An ideal home. A beautiful piece of property. An amazing cup of coffee. Transport your mind to a completely different place for a little bit -- works wonders.

If you and I sat down for coffee together… And you asked me the ONE thing you should focus on… I would tell you without hesitation: Go all in on AI.

Keep grinding, guys. SMB is hard, but I’d much rather be doing this than commuting 75 miles to a Private Equity job I hate.

You should always be trying shit. You might be unreal at sales or marketing or specifically this style of conversation or that type of medium and so on. Pretty exciting to think about how much you just don't know about yourself until you dabble Microdose different identities, develop random lore, infinite features to be unlocked. Lean in, switch up, choose your adventure at any given moment. Putting the fate of your future in the hands of whatever major you choose at 18 is a thing of the past

Time for Economic Resilience
Tech Layoff Tracker@TechLayoffLover

Had drinks with 30 CTOs last night at an off-the-record gathering in Palo Alto Every single one showed me the same internal PowerPoint slide "2026 AI Headcount Targets: Path to 70% Cost Reduction" The numbers will make you physically sick Fintech CTO planning to cut 280-person engineering org down to 43 "AI orchestrators" by September. Same product roadmap. Same delivery expectations. Healthcare CTO already eliminated his entire manual QA department. 67 people. Replaced with 3 senior engineers running autonomous testing agents that ship code directly to production. SaaS CTO walked me through his "human depreciation timeline": 340 engineers today, 89 planned for 2027. Customer support going from 120 humans to 12 "escalation specialists" managing AI conversations. The most chilling part: they're all using the exact same consulting deck from McKinsey called "The 30% Organization" One CTO literally said "hiring humans for code is like hiring horses for transportation" Another showed me Slack screenshots where his L7s are asking if they should train their replacements The consensus was unanimous: if you can't manage 10 AI agents by Christmas, you're not making it to New Year's Every single one of them is planning to announce these cuts as "AI transformation success stories" While their stock options vest at record highs built on the backs of workers they're about to execute The future of engineering is 3 humans with 50 AI agents in a WeWork somewhere while 500 families lose their homes

@vrexec For Oracle, I have seen top performers get laid off and with record earnings it’s a little shocking but overall agree with your sentiment.

A lot of stories right now about tens of thousands of people being laid off from corporate jobs. It’s less about these folks being bad at their jobs. If they were bad at their jobs, they would’ve been fired long before the layoffs. It’s that their jobs had no net value to the company. This is why I always say.. people at every level of an organization should be following company and industry news. If it’s a public company, follow what the research analysts on Wall Street are saying. Understand the stock price. Understand what drives the stock price and earnings per share. If you choose to be a part of the corporate world, then you have to accept that you are replaceable and people will forget about you within five minutes. You don’t have any right to a job. You have no right to a retirement or a pension. If you feel the need for these things, then you have to constantly make sure that whatever you’re doing there adds continuous value. Nothing annoys me more than people complaining about being laid off and being surprised by it.

This is very true, but even being self employed isn’t bullet proof. Business dependent of course, but AI is forcing most people to learn new tools and reinvent things. Many will come out better off on the other side but it takes time. A lot of time. Time you’d like to spend with the kid or kids. Just have to balance as best you can.

Kinda sucks that your kids being an age you want to constantly soak up overlaps so much with some of your biggest career growth/high earning years.

@EmBeeThree Tbh I think you’ll see more of this as companies look for reasons to cut headcount Most people reading this won’t have the luxury to just quit or find another job cold turkey unfortunately in this job market

I just heard of multiple companies letting go of employees for coffee badging. They have a requirement for 3 days onsite per week, or 24 hours. Some of these people have been going in and immediately going back home, leaving after lunch, or a little early at 3 or 4. In two cases I heard of the manager approving this, and even doing it themselves. But I guess from a higher level, they dont care, adn they were all let go. If your company has hard RTO mandates, especially if you’re in a more “traditional” industry like banking and financial services, I’d think twice about coffee badging in this environment.

@ryanstephens Sounds like you’re making good choices. I had to build a personal business that wouldn’t require a massive weekly time investment.

@EmBeeThree Yeah, I wish I would've had the courage to go out on my own when I could've been less risk averse. I did try a start-up, but 80/hour weeks in my 1st year of marriage was brutal. I've been very deliberate about my career choices to be as present as possible.

Having young kids in the house really is the miracle years My GOD is it a lot of work but literally every day is a miracle Two cherubim making their way down the stairs, filling the house with the sound and fury of vivacious personalities emerging from the ether
