Random musings from Leading with AI

19 Jun 2026

  • Critical thinking is critical to successful AI adoption
  • Access to tools is a constraint at our company and is impacting our AI maturity 
  • Companies’ risk appetites will be influential in how AI first their teams will be (risks around skills rot, AI slop, token prices etc.)
  • In more traditional org contexts I think that unless Testers become more integrated with Dev teams,   AI implementation will struggle 
  • Finally, I would be loved to have been in a harness engineering team during the token maxing era other parts of me would have hated it
