Summary

Bob and Josh sit with a hard truth this week. The change rolling through software and leadership isn't optional anymore. It's not Agile in 2007, where you could adopt it or sit it out. AI is rewriting what application development looks like, what team size means, and what kind of leader your organization actually needs. The good news is you're standing in a greenfield. Not your codebase. You. Your hiring approach, your operating model, the way you lead, all of it is open for redesign right now. Bob shares the cartoon that captures the whole problem (everyone lines up to change others, nobody lines up to change themselves), walks through reframing as a daily leadership tool, and gets honest about applying it in his own caregiving life with his wife. Josh challenges leaders to stop letting ambiguity happen to them and start steering into the maelstrom on purpose. If you've been waiting for things to settle before you make a move, this is the nudge to stop waiting.
