6 Leadership Characteristics We Admire After 20 Years of Working Together
Bob and Josh go round robin, naming the leadership characteristics they admire in each other after 2 decades of working together: generosity, genuineness, the courage to evolve, openness to crazy ideas, and speaking truth to power while scared.

Bob and Josh Finally Disagree About Something: Transparency
Bob opens with a metaphor about window blinds. Truth isn't a switch, he says, it's a set of slats you're constantly adjusting. Closed all the way, open all the way, and every shade of dim in between.

Does Code Quality Still Matter When AI Writes It?
The hottest take on LinkedIn right now is that coding was never the bottleneck.
