If nobody dares to take a risk, the organization stalls. Think of a penguin colony: if nobody dares to be the first to dive into the icy sea, the colony dies out.

Thinking out loud improves your decision making and problem solving. Strangely, if you ask an AI to think out loud it’s true for the AI too.

Trends:
1. Companies want good-enough agents to automate mundane day to day tasks. Not genius level.
2. IT departments, instead of buying SaaS products, see whether they can just build it themselves using vibe coding.
