I like the bit about replacing low value stuff. Have you seen the Databricks AI summary feature? It’s kinda cool for a minute and then you realize all it did was build some obvious documentation from the code, super low value stuff if taken as-is. Maybe someday they’ll expand to where they can explore your data model and spot places where you’re being inconsistent (you’re joining by customer ID here but every other place you join by customer ID and account ID), but right now it’s the “enthusiastic but unskilled intern” model. Which really sucks because we were all enthusiastic but unskilled interns at one time. I’ve been reading Mastery by Robert Greene and he goes on and on about mentorship, I worry that AI is bringing on the death of mentorship

This is a GREAT book that seriously ties into CxO’s work, and how to build an organization that’s well set up for continuous improvement (and AI/data initiatives) to thrive
