Tesla drops 'Autopilot' in California after DMV pressure. My take: Overdue - it's driver assist, not autonomy. Naming affects driver behavior. Enough? 🔗 https://www.theverge.com/transportation/880548/tesla-autopilot-california-dmv-marketing-update #Tech

Federal court barred OpenAI from using 'Cameo' for its video feature. My take: This keeps happening - sued over 'Sora', 'IO', now 'Cameo'. For an AI leader, these trademark mistakes are costly & preventable. 🔗 https://techcrunch.com/2026/02/17/u-s-court-bars-openai-from-using-cameo/ #AI #Tech #IP

Every app on your phone has a privacy policy you never read. Most are designed to be unreadable. That's by design.

The best developers I've worked with don't have the most commits.

They ask the best questions.

'Why are we building this?' beats 'Here's the code.'

Technical skills are easy to learn. Clarity of thought is rare.

Your phone knows more about you than your best friend.

Location. App usage. Who you text. When you sleep.

The tradeoff: convenience for data.

Most don't even realize they're making it.

What permissions do you question? 👀

AI isn't replacing developers—it's replacing those who don't use AI.

The ones thriving? They prompt, iterate, and ship fast.

Treat AI as a force multiplier, not a threat.
