AI agents are collapsing the traditional PM function. Here’s what that means for your SaaS over the next three years👇 For years, SaaS scaled with PMs translating customer input into documentation, and engineering turning that into a product. But now AI agents...
In February 2026, Figma released version 126.1.2. One line in the changelog caught nobody's attention. It should have. The update stripped --remote-debugging-port on startup, with no announcement and no deprecation warning. Just gone. Overnight, developers who'd spent months building automation tools on...
Lots of people commenting on this quitting of @Alibaba_Qwen's top leader. Wondering what it means for Qwen now, will be hard to replace.

Global markets are at or near all-time highs, supported by strong earnings growth around the world. The rest of the world is outperforming the US on a combination of better earnings growth, competitive payout ratios, and lower valuations. As such,...

Every company I talk to says that agents are the future. AGI is here. One person with AI will beat entire teams. Then they force everyone back to the office. You can't have it both ways. If you genuinely believe agents change everything,...

AI dominates health-tech headlines. It barely appears in NHS job adverts. Meanwhile, programme management and digital transformation make up over half of actual hiring and get little attention. Headlines create excitement. Hiring data creates careers.
Time Magazine called Allbirds' Wool Runners the 'world's most comfortable shoes' in 2016. That single endorsement launched the brand into the mainstream. Meanwhile you're relying solely on paid ads with zero third-party validation. That's the gap.

FWIW/IMHO: markets are pricing in a supply shock. Different from the pandemic, no expectation of rate cuts that wouldn't help. Real rates up.

Updated chart of our 1-variable stock market. This is how markets behave during exogenous shocks - stocks need oil to peak. Aftermath eco forecasts rarely matter. Same thing happened last year, but with trade uncertainty. Need something to the...

The SPX is now down ~2.5%. As the red annotations show, the 10-year yield is 5 bps lower to 4.06%. Bonds are being bought as crash insurance. This probably means stocks have to crash to keep bonds from trading back to 4.11%. https://t.co/Ks8NfeSfzT
