Part of my business is recruitment. We don't get into general labor / blue collar roles because, frankly, people suck. Low skills, low ambition, low morals. Companies ask us all the time and we point them to Indeed. Humanoid robots will be the norm very soon and our general labor workforce has no one to blame but themselves. Engineer levels on up is where we play and it's much easier. They show up to work and they work hard. Looking into EV charging infrastructure, there aren't enough electricians and installers to meet the demand. That is a good spot to be in if you're young, handy, and know the difference between red and black wires.

Can’t wait to check it out, I just subscribed.

We're building a software product that helps manufacturers. It isn't a hardcore AI tool, but makes heavy use of AI. My impression (and please give feedback) is that most of the AI promises are big and lofty--robots and agents and AGI and all that. We're trying to take a more pragmatic approach to applying AI, by using it to solve the age old problem of running your business on top of an ERP that probably isn't really built for your business. It's definitely not a "replace workers on the shop floor" perspective, but it might put some consultants out of job if we're successful. We think the manufacturing sector has been woefully underserved by the software industry and that AI is one tool that can help us solve that.

I see a combination of excitement around job creation, fear of IP theft and a deluge of new government initiatives that are supporting the US industrial base. Plus a lot of young people are looking for jobs that don't require college or sitting in a cubicle all day. [image: 1742508043330-screenshot-2025-03-20-at-3.00.39-pm.png]
