Impromptu roadtrip to check out the @Signal_65 AI Data Center and drop off some equipment. Driving 14 hours is what @MrsCto and I call Monday. We also got a chance to ride to the top of Pikes Peak. The last time was 13 years ago.

A few folks have asked the question, what happened to @theCTOAdvisor. First, I’m the CTO Advisor. As long as I’m around the brand will exist. I’m going to continue to use the brand to publish content. But The Advisor Bench (TAB) is the new company and focus.

Just wrapped a hot take on #QlikConnect—lots of potential as the front end for enterprise data across structured and unstructured. They’ve made smart acquisitions, but the big question remains: who in the enterprise actually owns this? That’s the strategic challenge. Watch the…

Today's #ZerotoBuilder marks the beginning of a significant transformation. We are moving from being users of AI for generating code to application builders. It's critical to get proficient in the fundamentals. I'll have to push myself as I work on the excerces tonight.…

Fun with #zerotobuilder. I used Cursor AI to create a basic prompt app that calls OpenAI's API in about 45 minutes. Something that would have easily taken me all day, if not longer, at my current development skill level. linkedin.com/events/7321544…
