AI adoption has become the best litmus test for how much bureaucratic red tape is present at any company. Of course thereâs a natural friction to implementing these tools - but the upside is nearly limitless (if you give yourself enough time to trial your ideal AI stack).
The fastest way to make a company âAI-nativeâ isnât to redraw the org chart, itâs to remove unnecessary handoffs. If AI allows one person to draft designs, copy, analysis, and code, the bottleneck shifts from âwho can I get to help?â to âhow fast can I iterate a V1?â

I posted this a couple months ago; the signs were obvious. Now after todayâs dismal job report, itâs unmistakable.
President Trump is right: the Fed should cut rates now - because AI is already killing jobs at an astonishing rate. Weâre entering a new era of silent job destruction, one that wonât show up in the unemployment rate until itâs too late. AI is decimating white-collar work in.

Work-life balance is a feel good talking point built on a lie. Breakthroughs require extra-ordinary effort - backbreaking, all consuming effort interspersed with intense periods of play and abdication. To win, you need to burn the boats. đ„â”ïž.
Never met a single interesting person who had any sort of âbalanceâ in their life. Tip the scale. All the way. Throw caution to the wind. Sink or swim. Take massive swings. Leap into the abyss. Stay up nights. If youâre going to âfailâ then fail miserably and spectacularly. Get.

This was the premise of dozens of startups Iâve come across. The giants will come for all of them. In the AI arms race, what was novel yesterday becomes commoditized today. Getting there first will not be a moat enough.
Today weâre releasing GitHub Spark â a new tool in Copilot that turns your ideas into full-stack apps, entirely in natural language.

Huntsville has a storied heritage of American innovation - from the early days of the U.S. Space Program to the home of Armyâs ballistic missile production. Since @PDW_ai launched in stealth 7 years ago, Huntsville has been our home. With our new 90,000 sqft Diamond Drive HQ.
"Defense is changing as fast as the technology that supports it and Huntsville companies like Performance Drone Works are shaping its future.". Check out this morning's @axios article on how PDW is transforming the military drone market from Huntsville, AL.
