Haha, I find this narrative hilarious. I'd be curious about how much money he's losing. Who even cares about these big players in agile anymore? They're all trying to shift to AI without any real advantage. Just dive into AI and ML, and start creating—it's not that difficult. You truly begin "continuous learning" once you start. Just my thoughts.
