Made it to Mumbai.
It's amazing how much more mentally tired I am working with agents. My prefrontal cortex is sore from constant use.
Turns out hand coding was the part that was a familiar pattern and provided a bit of a critical thinking break. The planning of tasks continuously is demanding.
Christmas 2025 was only 6 months ago when Opus came out and exploded the software scene. 6 months from "oh I guess AI is getting good now" to the government saying "you can't all have access to AI" was fast. Anyone on a sabbatical last year and coming back now? What a head spin.

Embrace the hilarity of this moment.
On my way to Mumbai, India for the first time ever. Pretty excited to meet all the awesome tech folks here. If you have been and have food recommendations I'm all ears!
There is NO WAY our engineering and marketing teams could keep up without agentic workflows at this point, the cadence bar has risen so high. It's an absolute necessity at this point. Drinking from the fire hose of everything at once. Thank goodness we have good people steering.
Hey I wrote this! What the heck is this AI memory thing we built and how do you use it? Go check it out 😊
The native bumblebees are back!
