I have successfully renewed my CAPM certification through the Project Management Institute . I am now in good standing until March 2029. Hoping to have great success in taking the PMP exam later in the year.

Inflation is reasserting itself just as Kevin Warsh steps into the Fed chair role. In my latest quick take, I explain why hotter CPI and PPI data may leave policymakers with little choice but to stay patient. For markets, that raises the risk that the next round of rate cuts does not arrive until 2027.

It wasn't on the bingo card. Three jobs my whole life: pool lifeguard in high school and college, management consulting after grad school, then ops-side private equity. Building the future of homeownership with Martha Stewart was not the next chapter I had mapped out. But here we are. The through line across every role (even the one where I was literally pulling people out of pools) is that the difference between success and failure almost always comes down to how well you actually understand your audience. At the end of the day, it's about people, not data points about a profile or some website session ID. And the reality for most homeowners is this: it is overwhelming in ways nobody prepares you for. Insurance, maintenance, contractors, seasonal upkeep, and unexpected repairs. Most people feel like they are always behind and I can personally attest that feeling doesn't go away with time, it just gets pointed to the next thing. That is the problem we built Hint to solve. Hint is your always-on home manager. The moment you create your home profile, it knows things about your property that most homeowners never think to look up - your climate zone, your soil, your flood exposure, your structure. From there, it sequences the right actions, at the right time, for your specific address. Not generic advice. The team we have assembled - builders, AI evangelists, domain experts who have spent careers inside homes - is the most capable group I have ever worked alongside. We are just getting started. If you own a home and have ever felt like it was owning you back, get on the waitlist at https://lnkd.in/eBGnsrHb . https://lnkd.in/e-jHErPp

I'm sitting here sipping a gin & tonic while my laptop in the hotel room autonomously codes an entire application I came up with epic by epic — no babysitting required. Every few minutes, a job wakes up, checks what Claude Code is doing, and decides whether to push it forward, unstick it, or ask for help. It handles stalls, rate limits, multi-agent code reviews, even context overflows — all on its own, and I'm watching it on my phone. The thing driving this madness? Yet another little vibe-coded side project: Bmad-Bot — an autonomous BMAD orchestrator that turns Claude Code into a self-managing dev loop. You just point it at a sprint, run setup, and walk away. Best thing - doesn't require OpenClaw, just Claude Code. Here's to hitting the rate limit again chasing crazy ideas! 🍸 + 💻 = the future of software development. 👉 Github link in comments #vibecoding #AI #ClaudeCode #BMAD #buildinpublic

A pleasure to join Bloomberg Surveillance to discuss what’s driving markets right now and where the risks may be building. The global economy continues to show remarkable resilience, with strong earnings, solid labor markets, and renewed enthusiasm around AI. But beneath the surface, vulnerabilities remain. Elevated valuations, ongoing geopolitical tensions, and supply chain risks all have the potential to disrupt this momentum, particularly outside the U.S. In technology, the story goes beyond AI hype. Investors are increasingly drawn to companies with strong balance sheets and durable earnings, qualities many leading tech firms embody. While short-term cyclical pressures may create volatility, AI remains a powerful long-term secular theme, reinforced by both investor demand and government priorities. Navigating this environment requires balancing optimism with caution, staying focused on long-term opportunities while remaining mindful of near-term risks. Link to conversation in the comments.

Why the energy transition isn’t really about energy anymore ETS 2026, the annual Energy Thought Summit held in San Antonio, was wide-ranging, with no shortage of big topics shaping the future of energy. It spanned everything from AI to affordability to grid transformation. Rather than recap it all, here are a few signals that stood out. The numbers said one thing: Scale, systems, technology. • ~25% of customers don't understand their bill, and of those, a majority don't trust it's accurate • The human brain runs on ~20 watts, yet performs 10¹⁶+ operations per day • Only ~5% of companies are realizing real returns from AI • Utilities have only engaged customers for the last ~10 years of a 100+ year history • Today's customer base spans multiple generations with vastly different expectations The quotes said another: People, behavior, trust. • "Customers experience the grid emotionally, not technically." • "We don't talk to customers, we talk at them." • "There can be no AI without HI. Human intelligence is what makes artificial intelligence work." • "Your brain is stronger than every AI you will ever conceive of." • "Grid optimization is no longer an engineering function. It's a customer function." Put this all together and this isn't just an energy transition. It's a shift from building the system to how people experience it. The industry is great at building complex infrastructure. The grid runs continuously but the customer relationship doesn't. They experience it in moments, and each one resets everything. • The day they move in • The bill they don't understand • The one interaction they remember That's the system they know. Getting those moments right builds trust and lowers friction. That's where the energy transition becomes real.
