@ryancarson More people rich off of AI stocks isnt going to offset 100,000 laid off 100k+ jobs in America on the demand side. When that trickles to restaurants and main street, it accelerates closure rates. Which then affects suppliers. AI becomes a fuse for a broad recession.

@ryancarson We aren't ready from a #publicpolicy perspective. What do you do when your educated unemployment crosses 10%? It takes a LOT of tradesmen to make up for a small number of engineering jobs lost. And meanwhile demand side starts to slide because the money is gone.

GitLab announced a layoff today. Please take this seriously. There will be many, many more. Your assignment is clear: Get skilled with agents and practice shipping to prod. It doesn't matter if you're HR, eng, infra, customer success, admin, ops, sales, whatever. As a Founder/CEO, I can tell you that I won't be hiring any employees who aren't really skilled with agents and able to ship to prod. I'm not alone in this. There is no 'engineering' org in the future.

#ShadowIT took a decade to land on the board agenda. #ShadowAI arrived years ago — 78% of employees brought their own tools (per Msft). Most never asked. Does your board know what's already inside the perimeter?

@ISACANews @Gartner_inc Shadow IT Research: Traditional shadow IT adoption required 2-4 years; AI adoption scales in months - "Shadow IT and Unmanaged SaaS Adoption in Enterprises" gartner.com/research/topic…

@ISACANews State of Cybersecurity 2025 (3,800+ CISO survey): 47% of cyber teams actively involved in AI governance; 55% of teams understaffed

Your board asked you to "manage AI risk." You can't see most of it. Shadow IT took years to scale. Shadow AI scales in months. Your governance doesn't scale with it. 55% of security teams are understaffed. You govern what you see. The question: What does your board actually see?

@rik22ky Yes. Without question. Any skill you don't use will atrophy. That doesn't mean you stop knowing C# or Ruby or whatever, but it may mean you get lazy or miss a step. It may mean being slower when you have to "go manual".

Can Ai make you loose your coding skills?

8/8 Reduce seasonal attack paths now: remove dormant vendor expire temp roles review service accounts with access to commerce and loyalty APIs separate help desk rights from identity admin rights test the break-glass path

7/8 This is important enough to get it's own tweet so you can hear it in the back: If #identity recovery is weaker than login, attackers will use recovery.

1/8 If you own #retail identity, #cloud access, or detection, start now for Q4. Peak season is when identity debt gets exploited: more temp access, more vendor touchpoints, more login volume, less tolerance for friction, and less room to change controls mid-event.

@Tech_girlll The trades are going to make a come back. They may not be the sexiest thing going but AI isn't going to replace an electrician or a plumber or a diesel mechanic anytime soon.

What’s a job that’s 100% safe no matter how advanced AI gets?

@Its_Nova1012 Want to chat with other admins on the system at the same time? You had to figure out gcc to compile a copy of ytalk because they allowed it but didn't link a system wide binary because they didn't want "just anyone" using it.

@Its_Nova1012 Red Hat. Debian was the only other one out of the rest of this stuff that existed. You still mostly got Red Hat in a box at the time. Because the internet modems were lightning fast at 14.4k on the text only internet.

What was your first Linux distro? - Fedora - Ubuntu - Arch Linux - Debian - Kali Linux And what are you using now?
