The mudguards themselves don’t have control over the speed or direction of the car. The tires spin fast, throwing mud everywhere, sometimes blaming the mudguards for "being in the way." And, the car only notices the mudguards when they fail-when dirt starts creeping onto the body.

Managers are like mudguards on a high-speed rally car —constantly catching the flying debris from the tires (ICs) while shielding the car (LT) from getting splattered.

AI companies are handing out incredibly powerful tools for the price of a pizza—no regulations, no vetting. The consequences? A dangerously unpredictable world. #OpenAI #ChatGPT #Google #GoogleFlow etc.

Having people lile these make you wealthier than any amount of money will. Keep them around but also be them for someone else.

Very true.
I have often said this to our employees: the fact that software engineers get paid better than mechanical engineers or civil engineers or chemists or school teachers is not some birthright and we cannot take that for granted, and we cannot assume it will last forever. The fact.

Secondly, If you think *leadership* is only needed for managers or CEOs and If you don't aspire to become either of those, you are okay to not work on your leadership skills! - Boy you couldn't be more wrong!.
