Key Quotes

Never let progress and delivery be at the cost of culture.

Know your business as well as the business knows the business.

I don't think we're going to be talking about chat GPT in 10 years because I think it's going to be so embedded in everything we do and all of our applications and things like this video conferencing software that we won't even chat GPT will be a thing of the past. It'll be more integrated and more seamless in everyday life.
