ACORE, the power and renewables industry group, is this week hosting its annual Policy Forum in Washinton DC. It's an event where industry leaders and experts discuss how the changing landscape of US energy policy is shaping infrastructure investment, the growth of electricity supply, and the affordability of power. Host Ed Crooks is recording two special episodes from the forum. This first show is focused on the US government's attempts to build up a domestic supply chain for renewables and other energy equipment. Ed speaks with Dr Sarah Kapnick, who is the global head of Climate Advisory at JP Morgan, and Peter Toomey, the Chief Development Officer at Cypress Creek Renewables, which is one of the country's leading energy developers. They discuss how supply chains and infrastructure for renewable energy are evolving. Demand for electricity is booming, but supply chains are under pressure. Volatile government support creates uncertainty for developers and suppliers. The “one big beautiful bill” (OB3) last year, which scrapped tax credits for wind and solar power, created “cliffs” in support for projects as the deadlines for eligibility are passed. That creates challenges for equipment manufacturers thinking about investing in new production capacity in the US. The Trump administration, like the Biden administration before it, faces a tension between its objectives of building up US manufacturing, accelerating US electricity supply growth, and making consumers' power bills more affordable. The ultimate question is whether the US can build resilient, competitive, domestic energy supply chains while balancing affordability, energy security, and surging demand from AI. Plus, Ed talks to Alice Lin, a senior tax advisor at the Natural Resource Defense council who worked on the Biden administration's move to increase tax credits for low-carbon energy with the Inflation Reduction Act. They debate the realities of clean energy tax incentives, and in particular the latest changes to the FEOC (Foreign Entities of Concern) rules. The aim is to stop companies from China, Russia, North Korea and Iran from benefiting from US tax credits. But even though the US Treasury recently published guidance on how it will apply the rules from the legislation last year, it is still not entirely clear what effect they will have. Developers, manufacturers and investors are still cautiously feeling their way.

The PodRocket panel is back for their February roundup! Paige, Paul, Jack and Noel dig into the biggest stories reshaping the web development landscape right now. The panel kicks off with a deep dive into OpenClaw, it's transition to a foundation, and Peter Steinberger joining OpenAI. Is a foundation the right long-term home for fast-moving AI projects? And what does the continuing flow of talent into big AI labs mean for the open source ecosystem? From there, the conversation shifts to the browser's changing role in the web, how the lines between native and web experiences continue to blur, and what that means for developers building for the future. The panel also tackles growing pressures on open source sustainability and the widening gap between developers who are deeply integrating AI agents into their workflows and everyone else who hasn't even heard of these tools yet.

https://teachhoops.com/ Coaching in a rural area presents a distinct set of hurdles—smaller talent pools, limited facility access, and players who are often "multi-sport" by necessity rather than choice. However, the greatest strength of a rural program is its community identity. In a small town, the basketball team isn't just an extracurricular activity; it is the "Front Porch" of the community. To build a winning culture here, you must embrace the "Small-Town Synergy." This means working closely with other coaches in your building to share athletes rather than competing for them. When the football, basketball, and baseball coaches are aligned, you create a "year-round athlete" who is physically resilient and understands how to compete in high-pressure environments. The "what and where" of teaching in a rural setting must be extremely efficient. Because many of your players may have chores, farm responsibilities, or long commutes, you cannot afford "dead time" in your practice. You must prioritize "Multi-Skill Drills" that maximize every minute. Furthermore, because you don't have the luxury of "cutting" players to find the perfect fit, you must be a "Developer of People." Your system must be flexible enough to fit the kids you have, not the kids you wish you had. If your "Center" is a 6'1" athletic farm kid, you might need to run a "Five-Out" or "Positionless" offense rather than a traditional post-up game. Finally, a major challenge in rural coaching is the "Exposure Gap." Players in remote areas often miss out on the high-level AAU competition found in urban centers. To bridge this, you must "bring the elite environment to them." Utilize TeachHoops member calls to stay updated on modern tactical trends and use film study to show your players what collegiate-level intensity looks like. Organize "Team Travel" to college games or larger tournaments to expand their "Basketball IQ" and vision of what is possible. When you combine the "Work Ethic" inherent in rural communities with modern, high-level coaching "X's and O's," you create a program that is consistently "punching above its weight class" come playoff time.

Could downtown's narrative finally be changing? From buying up the Pavilions to renovating Skyline Park, the city has been putting big money and energy toward making Denver's urban core appealing again. Developers are following suit — real estate investor Asher Luzzatto recently announced plans to spend $300 million on renovating a whole city block, including the conversion of two aging office buildings into new housing, childcare facilities, commercial space, and more. So, what else is missing? We're revisiting a classic episode from two years ago when we threw out our biggest, craziest ideas to bring life back downtown to see if city leaders took any notes.  Bree mentioned the Cinderella City Project, pencil smokestack art, and Lawrence Halprin's original Skyline Park design. She also talked about our episode on the likelihood of changing downtown's empty office buildings into housing.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter at denver.citycast.fm.

The Developer to CEO transition rarely starts with a bold declaration like, "I'm going to run a company." More often, it begins quietly—by taking on one more responsibility, saying yes to a new opportunity, or stepping into a role that stretches just a little beyond your comfort zone. In this episode of the Building Better Developers podcast, part of our Forward Momentum season, we talk with Meeky Hwang about how that transition unfolds in real life. Her path—from developer to agency founder and CEO—reflects a pattern many experienced engineers recognize only in hindsight. Over time, those small decisions add up. You stop thinking only about code and start thinking about people, clients, sustainability, and direction. At some point, you realize you're no longer just building software—you're building a business. About Meeky Hwang Meeky Hwang's journey resonates with entrepreneurs, technical leaders, and anyone navigating the intersection of technology and business. As CEO and Co-Founder of Ndevr, a digital solutions development agency, Meeky brings over 20 years of experience building resilient, scalable platforms for organizations including Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Forbes, PMC, and Bloomberg. Her work goes beyond website development—she focuses on long-term digital solutions that improve performance, streamline workflows, and align technology with business strategy. Equally important is Meeky's perspective as a woman leading in a male-dominated industry. She has navigated the challenges of technical leadership, entrepreneurship, and scaling a services business while building credibility and strong teams along the way. Her experience offers an honest look at what it takes to grow as a leader without losing sight of innovation, people, or purpose. Follow on LinkedIn and her Website. Developer to CEO transition starts with "accidental" opportunities For many engineers, this transition begins almost by accident. A consulting role exposes you to different industries. A startup forces you to wear multiple hats. An agency environment teaches you how delivery, relationships, and trust intersect. None of these roles comes with a "future CEO" label. But they do build instincts—how to prioritize, how to adapt, and how to make tradeoffs when perfect solutions aren't possible. Those instincts matter far more than a perfectly mapped career plan. Developer to CEO transition lessons from consulting, startups, and agencies Each environment contributes something different to the Developer to CEO transition. Consulting sharpens communication and expectation-setting. Startups teach ownership and resilience. Agencies reveal what it takes to scale work without burning people out. Individually, these roles can feel chaotic. Together, they form a foundation that prepares developers for leadership long before they realize that's where they're headed. Developer to CEO transition and the mindset shift to full responsibility There's a moment in the transition when responsibility feels heavier. Decisions don't stop at your team or your sprint—they ripple outward. Hiring, pricing, client relationships, and long-term viability all land on your plate. Problems are no longer theoretical. They're personal. This shift changes how leaders think. It forces clarity, prioritization, and the ability to move forward without perfect information. Developer to CEO transition accelerators: mastermind and founder groups One of the most impactful accelerators in the Developer to CEO transition is joining founder communities earlier than you think you need them. Mastermind ROI for New Owners Real conversations about hiring, benefits, pricing, and mistakes Exposure to how other founders actually run their businesses Founder groups shorten the learning curve by replacing isolation with shared experience. Instead of guessing, you learn from people who've already been there. Developer to CEO transition accountability: learning faster through peers Accountability is often underestimated in the Developer to CEO transition. Founder groups create a rhythm of progress—not through pressure, but through shared momentum. The "Accidental" Path That Works Follow opportunities that increase learning, not just status Optimize early for exposure and experience, not polish When you know you'll report back to peers who care, progress stops being optional. Developer to CEO transition when your role forces personal growth The Developer to CEO transition also reshapes how leaders show up. Many founders start as quiet contributors, comfortable behind the scenes. Leadership changes that. Mindset Shifts in the Developer to CEO transition Responsibility changes how decisions feel—and how quickly they must be made Visibility and communication become part of the job Growth here isn't about changing who you are. It's about growing into what the role requires. Developer to CEO transition and evolving the agency niche over time As companies mature, the Developer to CEO transition continues through strategic evolution. Niches tighten, then expand. Focus shifts based on market feedback, strengths, and timing. The most successful agencies don't chase trends. They adjust deliberately, guided by experience rather than impulse. Developer to CEO transition: what to do earlier if you could restart Ask founders what they'd change, and many give the same answer: find peer support sooner. The Developer to CEO transition becomes clearer—and far less lonely—when you're not navigating it in isolation. This episode of the Building Better Developers podcast is a reminder that growth doesn't come from having all the answers. It comes from asking better questions, learning from others, and building momentum—one decision at a time.

Igor Andriushchenko joins Crying Out Cloud to explain how vibe coding changes the role of security engineers. The shift from typing lines of code to shaping entire systems means security teams need new strategies. Developers expect their shipping velocity to increase tenfold with AI assistance. Relying on traditional hard deployment blocks will only cause friction. If you want to understand how to build secure guardrails for AI development without destroying developer momentum, this conversation covers the exact mechanics.What's Inside:The evolution of the Stockholm tech scene and human ambition driven by AI.How Lovable empowers non-developers to build disposable and deeply specific software.The concept of "soft guardrails" and why hard blocks fail in AI-assisted workflows.Future capabilities of AI pen testing using hundreds of autonomous agents.The shared responsibility model when business users build internal applications.

Of all the industries AI will transform, Kira Radinsky believes chemistry and biology will change the most. Kira is the co-founder and CTO of Diagnostic Robotics, which uses AI to automate the administrative work that's crushing healthcare teams — so clinicians can actually focus on patients. She's also the co-founder of Mana.bio, where they're accelerating drug discovery by orders of magnitude.She'll tell you she's terrible in the lab. Not because she isn't brilliant, but because she can't pipette without killing the cells. So she's thrilled that thanks to her skills in data and AI she was able to realize her childhood dream of being a scientist: “I'm not trying to automate everything… Like when, when you say automate drug discovery, I'm not gonna discover everything. I just want to accelerate it, which comes back to my childhood dream: I just didn't want to do it myself. I just want AI to replace me as a scientist. That's it.”But this episode is about more than healthcare. It's about how to build systems that get smarter over time — feedback loops, causal inference, incentivizing algorithms to take risks, and knowing when to optimize for ROI instead of accuracy. Lessons that apply whether you're building in biotech or not.We cover:How growing up Jewish in Soviet Ukraine — and fleeing to Israel just before the Gulf War — shaped Kira's obsession with predicting the futureHow she built a system that successfully predicted real-world events, including Cuba's first cholera outbreak in Cuba in 130 yearsHow Mana.bio is using AI to build "rocketships" that deliver drugs to the right cells — and how they've done in three months what used to take 20 yearsWhy predictions are only valuable if there's something you can do about them — and why that makes healthcare an ideal field for AI How to incentivize algorithms to make bolder predictions (it's easy to predict there won't be an earthquake today; it's much harder to say there will be)Why causal inference is the most underrated tool in machine learning right nowHow healthcare AI can perpetuate racial bias — and what builders need to do differentlyNote: this interview originally aired in October 2024.

Brian #1: Better Python tests with inline-snapshot Alex Hall, on Pydantic blog Great for testing complex data structures Allows you to write a test like this: from inline_snapshot import snapshot def test_user_creation(): user = create_user(id=123, name="test_user") assert user.dict() == snapshot({}) Then run pytest --inline-snapshot=fix And the library updates the test source code to look like this: def test_user_creation(): user = create_user(id=123, name="test_user") assert user.dict() == snapshot({ "id": 123, "name": "test_user", "status": "active" }) Now, when you run the code without “fix” the collected data is used for comparison Awesome to be able to visually inspect the test data right there in the test code.

Two reasons: Fast Feedback - Rather than having to commit/push every time you want to test out the changes you are making to your .github/workflows/ files (or for any changes to embedded GitHub actions), you can use act to run the actions locally. The environment variables and filesystem are all configured to match what GitHub provides. Local Task Runner - I love make. However, I also hate repeating myself. With act, you can use the GitHub Actions defined in your .github/workflows/ to replace your Makefile! When you run act it reads in your GitHub Actions from .github/workflows/ and determines the set of actions that need to be run. Uses the Docker API to either pull or build the necessary images, as defined in your workflow files and finally determines the execution path based on the dependencies that were defined. Once it has the execution path, it then uses the Docker API to run containers for each action based on the images prepared earlier. The environment variables and filesystem are all configured to match what GitHub provides.

AI-Accelerated FortiGate Breaches, Amazon Kiro Prod Disruption, Claude Code Security, Salt Typhoon Warning, and Youth Radicalization Risks Episode of Cybersecurity Today (hosted by David Shipley) covering: a Russian-speaking hacker using AI-written automation tools to breach 600+ Fortinet FortiGate firewalls across 55 countries by exploiting weak passwords and exposed management interfaces without MFA, with advice to lock down edge management access, enforce MFA, and strengthen password policies; an Amazon Kiro AI coding tool incident tied to a misconfigured role that allegedly deleted and recreated a production environment, causing a 13-hour disruption to AWS Cost Explorer services in one of two mainland China regions, prompting warnings about giving AI agents access to production and the need for guardrails and review processes; Anthropic's Claude Code Security launch, an AI-driven code vulnerability analysis feature that maps code interactions and data flows, provides severity and confidence scoring, keeps humans in the loop, and sparked stock drops for CrowdStrike and Cloudflare while noting limits for legacy code; an FBI warning that China-linked Salt Typhoon remains a serious threat in 80+ countries by exploiting basic weaknesses like unpatched systems, old code, reused passwords, and phishing, alongside concern over the FCC loosening US telecom cybersecurity requirements and calls for stronger critical infrastructure regulation and secure-by-default equipment; and a Canada-focused segment on youth online radicalization including a second RCMP terrorism peace bond in New Brunswick linked to the 764 extremist network (designated a terrorist organization in December 2025), plus reporting that the Tumbr Ridge, BC school shooting suspect had a ChatGPT account suspended in June 2025 and that OpenAI employees allegedly sought to notify authorities but were rebuffed, drawing condemnation from BC Premier David Eby and federal AI minister Evan Solomon and renewed calls for stronger cooperation, accountability, and intervention frameworks.

What a fun little uncanny experience. The family dynamic is wonderfully weird — the mom desperately trying to hide anything ghostly, poor Eli just wanting someone to believe him — and the whole atmosphere feels like a suburban haunting no one wants to talk about. As an incredibly average player with a long history of failing tutorials, I managed to score a very impressive 50% on the ghost photos. Spectral forms and apparitions completely melted together in my brain, and yes… I absolutely marked one totally normal photo as haunted. It was a moment. This video is the clipped demo section from my stream, so it's a clean first‑look at the gameplay, puzzles, and photo mechanics. I had a great time with it and I'm excited to see where the full game goes ❤️ Developer: ⁠ ⁨@frostwoodinteractive⁩ ⁠

A Clare developer who's been fighting for 20 years to get planning permission for a development on the site of a former pub says no one will "put a gun" to his head and stop him from achieving his aim. Noel O'Loughlin has withdrawn an application for a mixed-use development, including assisted living houses, on the site of Purcell's Lounge Bar in Ruan due to wastewater connectivity issues. It's the fifth time the Corofin native has attempted to get approval for a redevelopment of the building which was subject to an act of vandalism earlier this month. He says he intends to keep moving forward until the project is realised.

This is my quiet playthrough of the Human.exe demo — a retro, text‑based psychological horror experience that feels like a modern cousin to Zork and Majestic. You're dropped into a cold terminal interface and asked to make decisions that seem simple… until they aren't. In my run, the moral weight of each yes/no choice really hit me — especially when the subject's fate took a turn I wasn't expecting. It's short, eerie, and surprisingly emotional for a terminal‑style demo. If you enjoy cozy narration over unsettling games, you might like this one. This demo was originally played live on Twitch during a “let's try a few horror indies” stream.

You love building web apps with Python, and HTMX got you excited about the hypermedia approach -- let the server drive the HTML, skip the JavaScript build step, keep things simple. But then you hit that last 10%: You need Alpine.js for interactivity, your state gets out of sync, and suddenly you're juggling two unrelated libraries that weren't designed to work together. What if there was a single 11-kilobyte framework that gave you everything HTMX and Alpine do, and more, with real-time updates, multiplayer collaboration out of the box, and performance so fast you're actually bottlenecked by the monitor's refresh rate? That's Datastar. On this episode, I sit down with its creator Delaney Gillilan, core maintainer Ben Croker, and Datastar convert Chris May to explore how this backend-driven, server-sent-events-first framework is changing the way full-stack developers think about the modern web.

Affordable housing is one of the biggest buzzwords in real estate — but can it actually be profitable? In this episode of The Real Wealth Show, Kathy Fettke sits down with developer Evan Holladay to explain how affordable housing deals really work. With more than 1,200 units developed, Evan breaks down tax credits, incentives, and why more developers are pivoting in this direction. They discuss what "affordable" truly means, how the numbers pencil, and why new housing reforms could create major opportunity in 2026. If you're an investor looking for both impact and returns, this episode connects the dots.

You probably know by now that AI is the definition of mediocre. As in: it's the average of everything it's been trained on. So how do you get beyond average? How do you build a moat? It certainly doesn't seem to be via the models. While there are models of the month (hey, Opus 4.6, my new friend!), they seem to be pretty swappable. So, the model ain't it. But proprietary data (e.g. an AI that knows you really well), yes! Or doing something really hard in the real world (think: Waymo self-driving cars). Maybe via trust and safety (Anthropic is certainly making a play here). Or... how about via amazing design and good taste. Remember when ChatGPT first came out and everyone derided “AI wrappers”… well, maybe a wrapper isn't so bad, assuming you can differentiate on one or more of the above. Luke Des Cotes is the CEO of MetaLab, the agency famous for designing interfaces, including early versions of Slack and Coinbase, so don't be shocked when you hear him say that great design can be your moat. MetaLab is working with a host of AI companies (another shocker), including Windsurf (AI + code), Suno (AI + music), Pika (AI + video), and more…, which is why Luke's take on AI surprised me. He's not rah rah. He's pretty judicious actually. Luke has questions about AI's costs and appropriateness for lots of use cases like those involving kids, but mostly he objects to its mediocrity.On this episode we discuss what it takes to go beyond.We also get into:Why vibe-coded software isn't changing the world anytime soonWhy Shopify acquired a design agency right after telling employees to justify their existence against AIHow MetaLab designers are using AI to prototype in hours instead of weeksThe talent market for zero-to-one designers — and why they're harder to find than everLandlines, brick phones, and how parents are fighting back against always-on kidsChapters(01:10) - "It's a race to the mean" (03:10) - "How do you create emotional resonance?"

In this episode, Thomas Domville demonstrates and reviews the iOS app WikiTrip, a location-based audio guide that pulls curated information from Wikipedia and reads it aloud while the listener is moving, such as during a road trip, bus ride, or walk. He explains how the app works, including its reliance on location services and an active cellular connection, and notes that it is designed primarily for use on the go rather than while stationary. He walks through the main interface, describes how the app discovers nearby points of interest, and discusses key settings such as voice selection, minimum distance traveled, and minimum time between articles. He also highlights the History feature, which stores previously played items and allows the user to open the associated Wikipedia pages, and explains that the app avoids repeating content unless the history is cleared. Finally, he shares examples of points of interest the app surfaced during a trip to Branson, Missouri, illustrating the type of information WikiTrip can provide during travel.Host: Thomas DomvilleLength: 0:20:47App InformationName: WikiTrip – Travel Audio GuideDeveloper: Björn SchefzykCategory: TravelPlatforms: iOSPrice: FreeApp Store Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wikitrip-travel-audio-guide/id1438931523Timestamps00:05 Intro00:10 Host introduction ...TranscriptDisclaimer: This transcript was generated by AI Note Taker – VoicePen, an AI-powered transcription app. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers' names, voices, or content.Thomas: Hello and welcome. My name is Thomas Domville, also known as AnonyMouse. In this podcast, I'm going to do a walkthrough and a review of an iOS app called Wikitrip. W-I-K-I-T-R-I-P. So this past weekend, Mrs. Mouse and I went on a road trip, and we were heading down to southern Missouri into the Ozark Mountains. And specific, we spent some time in Branson, Missouri itself. And while we were doing that, and while we were on the road trip, somebody on AppleVis asked, what can you do during a road trip? What, you know, obviously we can listen to books and things, but are there any apps for entertainment for things that you can do in the car? Well, there's so much you can do, but Wikitrip is one of the AppleVis contributors out there. So thank you out there for suggesting Wikitrip. What is Wikitrip? Wikitrip is an app that you can take on the road with you. So it's not just for the road or a car ride. It can be if you're on a bus. or you're walking, so essentially any time that you're moving. And what it will do, based on the location and X number of seconds, it's going to pull from the Wikipedia on your location something interesting. So some pretty top picks that other people found that the Wikipedia information is interesting. It's going to read to you. So it's got a built-in open AI voices. There's about a dozen voices you can pick from. And it's going to give you just about any information you ever would want to know. So I'm going to show you an example of what it sounds like when I'm just sitting here in the podcast room. And then I'm…

Regaining clarity at work is one of the biggest challenges developers face as responsibilities grow, distractions multiply, and expectations rise. Burnout rarely appears overnight. More often, it creeps in quietly—through constant context switching, mental fatigue, and the feeling that you're busy all day but not making real progress. For developers and technical leaders, clarity isn't a "nice to have." It's what allows you to make good decisions, focus deeply, and enjoy the work you're doing. Without it, even small tasks feel heavier than they should. About Andrew Hinkelman Andrew Hinkelman is a certified executive coach and former Chief Technology Officer who works with tech founders, CTOs, and engineering leaders to strengthen their leadership and people skills. With over 25 years of corporate experience, including 8 years as a CTO, Andrew understands firsthand the pressures technical leaders face as they move from hands-on execution to leading teams and organizations. His coaching focuses on helping leaders build trust, develop others, and stay strategic as responsibilities grow. Andrew's philosophy is simple: all professional development is personal improvement. After experiencing burnout in his own leadership journey—constantly stepping in to fix problems and being needed by everyone—he learned the value of trusting his team instead of controlling outcomes. Today, Andrew helps leaders avoid that same trap by building resilient teams, focusing on relationships, and creating environments where others can succeed. Follow Andrew on Instagram and LinkedIn. Why Regaining Clarity at Work Matters for Developers When regaining clarity at work starts to slip, the symptoms are subtle at first. Decisions take longer. You second-guess yourself more often. Work that once felt engaging starts to feel draining. This isn't a motivation problem. It's a clarity problem. Developers often push through this phase by working longer hours, assuming effort will fix it. In reality, the lack of clarity compounds the problem—leading to frustration, reduced quality, and eventually burnout. How Distractions Undermine Regaining Clarity at Work Modern work environments make regaining clarity at work especially difficult. Messages, emails, meetings, and notifications constantly pull attention away from focused thinking. Even well-intentioned tools can fragment your day into shallow work. The issue isn't that developers aren't capable of focus—it's that focus is constantly interrupted. Over time, this makes it harder to think clearly, prioritize effectively, or feel confident in decisions. The result is mental overload, not progress. Regaining Clarity at Work Through Better Daily Habits One of the most practical ways to regain clarity at work is by examining daily habits. Not in a rigid or extreme way, but by noticing patterns. What creates a good day? What leaves you feeling depleted? Sleep, movement, downtime, and boundaries play a much larger role in clarity than most developers expect. Clarity isn't created in moments of intensity—it's supported by consistency. Self-Discipline as a Foundation for Regaining Clarity at Work Self-discipline is often misunderstood as pushing harder. In reality, it's about protecting the habits that keep your energy stable. Waiting for weekends or vacations to reset burnout doesn't work if every weekday drains you. Regaining clarity at work means building routines that prevent depletion before it happens. Regaining Clarity at Work by Trusting Yourself When developers feel stuck, the instinct is often to search for more input—another article, another video, another framework. But more information rarely creates clarity. In many situations, you already know how to handle the challenge in front of you. Learning to pause, quiet your mind, and trust your experience can be more effective than consuming more advice. Regaining clarity at work often comes from removing noise, not adding insight. Regaining Clarity at Work with Allies and Peer Support Clarity is much easier to regain when you're not working in isolation. Talking through challenges with trusted peers helps break mental loops and introduce new perspectives. These allies don't need to be your manager. In fact, regaining clarity at work often comes faster when support comes from peers across teams or outside your organization—people who understand the context but aren't tied to the outcome. Expanding Beyond Your Manager to Regain Clarity at Work Strong peer relationships act as soundboards. They help you reality-check assumptions, think through decisions, and feel less alone in complex situations. Over time, these relationships become one of the most reliable ways to avoid burnout. Regaining Clarity at Work with Coaching and AI Tools Coaching and AI tools can both support regaining clarity at work, but they serve different roles. Some developers find value in AI prompts or structured reflection. Others need human conversation, body language, and shared experience. For many, a hybrid approach works best—using tools when they're helpful, and people when nuance, accountability, or emotional context matters. The goal isn't to replace connection, but to support clarity when it's needed most. Signs You're Losing Clarity at Work Constant distraction, overthinking, and decision fatigue Relying on weekends or time off as the only recovery strategy Simple Habits That Restore Clarity Daily actions that protect energy and focus Consistency over intensity when rebuilding clarity When to Use Coaching, AI, or Allies Choosing the right support for the situation Combining human insight with practical tools Conclusion Regaining clarity at work isn't about doing more—it's about doing what matters consistently. By protecting your energy, trusting yourself, and leaning on the right support, developers can avoid burnout and move forward with confidence. Take one small step this week toward regaining clarity at work, and start building habits that support sustainable, focused growth.

New York City is staring down the barrel of another self inflicted crisis and this time it is coming straight from City Hall. Mayor Mamdani is now pushing for higher taxes while simultaneously calling for a raid on the city’s so called rainy day fund. That fund exists for emergencies. Instead he wants to burn through it to prop up a failing fiscal vision built on bigger government and heavier burdens on the very people who keep the city alive. On this episode of Stinchfield, Grant exposes how this dangerous combination of tax hikes and reckless spending could accelerate the unraveling of New York’s already fragile real estate market. Property owners are squeezed. Developers are hesitating. Small landlords are being crushed. And when the cost of living skyrockets, it is not just billionaires who leave. It is police officers, firefighters, entrepreneurs, and families who simply cannot afford to stay. The result is predictable. As New York doubles down on policies that punish productivity, states like Florida, Texas, and Tennessee are preparing for another wave of Americans looking for freedom, affordability, and sanity. Real estate agents in those states are not worried about a slowdown. They are preparing for an influx of former New Yorkers who have had enough. Grant connects the dots between ideological governance and economic reality, explaining why policies rooted in redistribution and government expansion often hollow out the very tax base they rely on. When the middle class flees, the city does not get more equitable. It gets poorer, weaker, and more divided. This is not just about New York. It is a warning for every major city tempted to follow the same path. If you want to understand how quickly a financial capital can be pushed toward decline, you do not want to miss this conversation. https://TheMaverickSystem.comhttps://GrantLovesGold.comhttps://www.EnergizedHealth.com/Granthttps://www.PatriotMobile.com/Granthttps://Twc.Health/Grant Use code Grant for 10% offhttps://VRAInsider.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At Davos this year, some of the biggest names in tech sent a clear signal. AI is no longer a novelty. It is no longer a proof-of-concept exercise. As Demis Hassabis of Google DeepMind suggested, AI will shape more meaningful work. And Satya Nadella of Microsoft was even more direct. AI only matters if it improves real outcomes for people. So what does that look like inside the enterprise? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Andrew Boyagi, Customer CTO at Atlassian, to unpack how the conversation has shifted from experimentation to execution. Developers, in many ways, are the perfect lens for understanding this moment. Over the last two decades, their role has expanded far beyond writing code. They now own products, infrastructure, operations, and business outcomes. AI is simply the next chapter in that evolution. Andrew argues that AI will not replace engineers. It will raise expectations. As intelligent tools absorb repetitive work, the real value moves up the stack. System design. Architectural thinking. Reviewing and refining AI-generated output and orchestrating solutions that solve genuine business problems. And through it all, humans remain firmly in the loop. We also explore what this means for leadership, why mindset is starting to matter more than technical skill alone, how organizations can avoid layering AI on top of broken processes. And why the companies pulling ahead are treating AI as a strategic discipline, not a feature upgrade. This is a conversation grounded in reality. It speaks to product leaders, CTOs, CIOs, and anyone asking a simple but powerful question. If we are investing in AI, what are we actually getting back? And before we close, we look ahead to Team '26 and the themes Andrew and his team are already working on.  If this year has been about proving value, what will the next chapter demand from enterprise leaders? As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Are you seeing proof of value in your organization yet, or are you still working through the pilot phase?

On the podcast, I talk with Michael and Mark about the boom in hardware-enabled subscriptions, why nothing worked until they stopped optimizing and started building a better product, and how they doubled their price to $79 even though the data said they could charge more.Top Takeaways:

In the 90's and early 00's you typically saw multiple (2 or more) entries into a series per decade. That meant you could really fall in love with a series, and it also meant you could overlook an entry that sucked. This is a story about DragonQuest. It's a story about Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Mario, Zelda. Basically all of the beloved franchises today. As development costs soar, development time does too, and that means you aren't getting as many games in a series per decade. There's pros and cons to that I guess, but one major con is that any single game that releases can tank a franchise, or company. Is there anyone who still has an output that looks like this? We think there is, and they are clearly doing something right.

In this episode, Mike and Tommy explore whether the traditional "Report Developer" role still exists in the age of AI and Microsoft Fabric. They discuss what skills organizations should actually be hiring for, how the role has evolved from pixel-perfect report building to semantic modeling and data architecture, and whether AI tools like Copilot are changing what we expect from BI professionals. The conversation challenges conventional hiring practices and offers practical guidance on future-proofing BI teams.Get in touch:Send in your questions or topics you want us to discuss by tweeting to @PowerBITips with the hashtag #empMailbag or submit on the PowerBI.tips Podcast Page.Visit PowerBI.tips: https://powerbi.tips/Watch the episodes live every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 730am CST on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/powerbitipsSubscribe on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/230fp78XmHHRXTiYICRLVvSubscribe on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/explicit-measures-podcast/id1568944083‎Check Out Community Jam: https://jam.powerbi.tipsFollow Mike: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelcarlo/Follow Tommy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tommypuglia/
