Today's episode takes that down a level to discuss the benchmarks that show where others like you

are. Now, one of the things that I've been thinking about a lot over the last six months or so

is just how much we need a totally different set of data and benchmarks for this new AI era.

Everyone is adapting incredibly quickly right now, or at least they're trying to.

It's new processes, new workflows, new tooling, new everything.

And by and large, we're doing all that exploration without a map. Let me give you a
