That's how we found our AI adoption starting point. The question wasn't whether our team could use AI. It was whether anything they built with it would survive them.

🤔 The governance question in front of us: how do you set usage expectations before someone burns $500 in a week doing exactly what you asked them to do?

Motivation gets a lot of credit. The problem is that motivation isn’t built to last. Consistency isn’t loud. Most days, it doesn’t even feel productive. Early on, it doesn’t feel like momentum at all. It feels like returning without making a big deal about it.

Celebrated #Christmas2025 a week late due to the flu. Opened a 2018 Mascot for the special Christmas water! 🍷 Went well with the turkey, stuffed turkey leg, football, Nitendo bowling, and everything else through out the day. #wine #NewYear2026

Paired well with #StrangerThings5!

Today’s #Christmas water was supposed to be something different, but the flue postponed the family dinner. I still needed a special 🍷 tonight, and damn @penfolds Baby Grange didn’t disappoint - can’t imagine what Bin 95 is like!
