Every business has bottlenecks At many board meetings, I can be counted upon to ask , “Where’s the bottleneck this month?” Senior management is usually prepared with an answer, and a good discussion of resource availability and application follows. Sometimes, the bottleneck is not so visible to the CEO.

You know that moment when a file won’t upload, your video call freezes mid-sentence, and your coworker says, “Maybe it’s the Wi-Fi again”? Well, if you really think about it, that’s not just a bad day. Believe it or not, but the truth is, a lot of tech frustration doesn’t come from your software. Well, it’s not because the platform you’re using suddenly forgot how to do its job (granted, it feels that way).

I am an enormous Andy Weir fan – I think a long dinner 1:1 with him would be epicly fun. While I usually run naked (I don’t listen to anything), I’ll occasionally add an audiobook during a marathon training period. During the summer training for the StVrain75Hygiene36 Berlin Proxy Marathon 2021 (a marathon I ran locally at the same time that my partners Seth and Ryan ran the Berlin marathon), I list ened to Project Hail Mary.

An even more pertinent question: Does it already know how to do it—before it has even become sentient?
