I enjoyed reading this article and learned a lot from it. Lately I’ve been writing on paper again, sharpening pencils and slowing down. It helps me stay closer to my own thoughts a…

That’s true! Naysayers keep mentioning it’s due to over hiring during Covid. I’d say it’s AI investment related and AI replacing a lot of software needs. Plus, people seem to use j…
