20 tech leaders on evaluating engineers: Learning velocity matters. But speed only pays off when it’s pointed at the right problem. Almost nobody interviews for problem selection. forbes.com/councils/forbe…

The companies that navigate this best won't be the ones adopting AI fastest. They'll be the ones building AI fluency and systems depth simultaneously — instead of trading one for the other. Full piece on what good engineering leadership does about it: open.substack.com/pub/asiemer/p/…

Water cooling shows where this leads. Standard knowledge in the '80s. Obsolete by 2010. Now Goldman Sachs projects liquid-cooled AI servers will go from 15% of deployments in 2024 to 76% by 2026. The engineers who understand it? Suddenly very hard to find.

In the 1990s, the industry was certain mainframe developers were obsolete. Today, 70% of global business transactions still run on mainframes. The average COBOL programmer is 60 years old. Salaries: $121K–$150K. The "dead" skill became irreplaceable.

We are going live TODAY with a conversation we have been building toward all month. Andy and Eric have been testing AI agent systems against real product specs, comparing notes on what works and what breaks - REGISTER BELOW! linkedin.com/events/whataii…

There’s a gap between companies using AI—and actually understanding it. Where does it help? Where does it break? Who owns it? Register for our Live this Thurs, April 16 • 11am CT linkedin.com/events/7447659… #AI #EngineeringLeadership #Discussion #Webinar

We put together a session on what AI is actually doing, and not doing, for companies like yours. It is about 40 minutes... Check out "When Is It Time for a Major System Implementation — and When Is It Not?" below! youtu.be/x4UDgYmaVew?si… via @YouTube

AI coding tools boost output 🚀 But they amplify your codebase. Clean systems get faster. Messy ones get messier ⚠️ “The Brownfield Problem” explains why. open.substack.com/pub/asiemer/p/… #AI #EngineeringLeadership #TechnicalDebt

At Inventive, we see it all the time: scaling tech isn’t a tooling problem ⚙️ it’s an enforcement problem 📏 Our CEO Andrew Siemer was featured in @ForbesCouncils: “When compliance, security and cost controls are enforced through code, complexity becomes manageable.”

We were featured in @ForbesTechCncl discussing where reinforcement learning + human oversight works best. On the factory floor, AI alone isn’t enough. Context matters. Operators matter. That’s where real performance gains happen. Check it out 👉 forbes.com/councils/forbe…

More data ≠ better decisions. As visibility improves, hesitation often follows. Internal metrics lag markets, customers shift, and efficiency gaps widen. Clarity comes from knowing what to trust and when to act 🎯 #DecisionMaking #Operations #DataStrategy #Inventive

AI won’t replace your workforce. Another company that enables theirs might. Check out what the data says, via our Forbes Technology Council article 👇 linkedin.com/pulse/how-ai-b… #AI #Leadership #Productivity #Inventive

☎️ Call us when... your systems technically work, but progress feels slower than it should. ⚙️ Small changes feel risky. Only a few people know how things really work. That quiet friction is worth paying attention to. #DigitalStrategy #PlatformHealth #Inventive

Most teams don’t fail at AI because the tech is bad. They fail because they lock themselves in too early. AI isn’t “set it and forget it.” It’s infrastructure — build it like you plan to grow. 🚀 #automation #ai #Inventive

🎁 Year-end is a great time to sanity-check your digital experience—especially as accessibility & compliance expectations evolve. Thinking about an accessibility or compliance review DM us ⚡

AI isn’t the risk. Standing still is. Leadership — not technology — determines who wins. Read more in our newest @ForbesTechCncl article. 👇 forbes.com/councils/forbe…

📄 PDFs. ⌨️ Forms. ⚠️ Accessibility lawsuits. These were the biggest sources of digital risk in 2025. We wrote a guide breaking down where website compliance actually fails, why it matters, and what organizations should fix first in 2026. 🔧 linkedin.com/pulse/website-…
