Sounds a bit abrasive to me. But it could be directionally correct. AI agents are reshaping how work gets done, and that means SaaS pricing needs to change. Here’s the gist of his argument, why it matters, and what to do about it. Per-Seat Pricing Is Getting OldThe classic SaaS model—charging per user—made sense when software was just a tool for humans. But now? AI agents don’t need seats. They just get things done. Problem: If your pricing is tied to human users, but AI is doing the work, you’re lea…

Hi everyone, There’s one aspect of human life we prefer not to remember, mention, or, heaven forbid, celebrate. Yet October 13 is known as the International Day for Failure. Isn’t that an amazing concept? To celebrate failure: the unwanted result of our thoughts and labor, yet the essential companion of every beginner, learner, changemaker, and big dreamer.

Hi everyone, Modern work keeps stretching in two directions at once: toward more productivity and toward more humanity. From Japan’s four-day workweek experiment to the shifts remote work has brought to big cities, the conversation is moving from how much we work to how well we work.

Hi there, remote workers! 🎄December is here—the Friday of the months. A time full of festivities and end-of-year catch-ups. And yes, research shows remote workers tend to work a bit less (and feel less productive) on Fridays… so our to-do lists, managers, and clients are probably already sensing a quiet wobble at the first sound of holiday jingles.
