My dear friend Jack Ellis is an unending source of founder inspiration. Not only has he recently started embracing AI agentic coding-something he's been holding back on for quite a bit. I think I've mentioned several times on this podcast alone how he and I seem to have quite opposing views on embracing this technology. But something has clicked, and he's been diving headlong into it.

That's why having a clear, well-structured migration plan is critical.
