A big #RedgateMonitor release today, with lots of changes. The Teams/ServiceNow integration is fantastic as a number of teams have wanted a webhook + SN (or Teams) integration. Now they can do both.

The big number is 80% of execs say they want to reskill people to learn to use AI.

To me, selfishly, that means if I don't learn how to better use AI to help me, I might be redundant

4/4

I hate seeing people making snap decisions, and especially those that might displace people, but I get it. I don't pretend I might not do something similar.

I bet you could get that 45/100 up higher with a little analysis, experimentation, and careful evaluation

Sounds bad. Deploying AI didn't help them replace people and reduce costs.

Or did it?

45/100 don't feel this way. That's about a coin flip.

If you were an exec, and you might get a bigger bonus/dividend, is that worth placing a bet?

Morning office. Mrs way0utwest forgot to book the skid steer guy, so I had to unload the entire semi myself. Never did the high ones before, which were a bit nerve wracking.
