Will you Survive the Brutal Job Market in the Age of AI?
Someone asked me, âWhat is automation?â
I explained it.
Her response made me smile.
âOh, I hope people are NOT using this. It will take a lot of jobs.â
She is almost 80.
She is not into tech.
Yet she articulated, in one sentence, what many corporations spend entire conferences dancing around.

85% of PMs Are Now Using This Skill More Than Ever. (It's Not What You Think)

You may be surprised since these days, it's all about AI, Agents and Harnesses.Â

You're doing the work. So why don't you have the title?
Don't be like me.
I used to run the project.
You can relate to this, I'm sure.
I'd do it all. Classic "good boy".
Set up the meetings. Chase the updates. Write the handover docs nobody else wanted to touch.
Then sit quietly while someone else presented it to the director.
I wasn't invisible becau...

Stop Running. Seriously. Stop
Iâm writing a different type of note today to you.
It may make you feel uncomfortable; truth often does that.
Â
But itâs really to ask you 2 important questions:

Unpopular Opinion: Your 'Hybrid Methodology' Is Just Confusion With a Fancy Name
Half the teams saying they use "hybrid methodology" are just winging it and calling it strategy.I sat in a meeting last week where a PM proudly said, "We're hybrid! We do sprints but also have a Gantt chart."Cool.
So does everyone who's disorganized.

What if I told you AI does NOT see your photos
You've sent a photo to ChatGPT.
Maybe it was a screenshot of a document. A chart you needed explained. A picture of your whiteboard after a long meeting.
Or this one?Â
Â
And it answered. Accurately. Maybe even impressively.
So here's the question nobody asks:
What did the AI actually see?

"AI isnât really âsmart⌠itâs just really good at finding stuff.â đ
Letâs be honest: when people talk about AI, it sounds like magic.But hereâs the truth â without the right storage system, even the best AI is basically rummaging through a messy junk drawer.So far in this series, weâve:1ď¸âŁ Broken big documents into smaller pieces (chunking).2ď¸âŁ Turned those piece...
