What if the IT industry stopped pretending everything is “fine”?

In this Autonomous IT live show, Automox CEO Justin Talerico shares candid perspectives on the real state of IT as the industry heads into 2026 — where things are breaking down, why burnout is becoming an operational risk, and what actually needs to change.

Topics include:
-- Why many IT careers begin with curiosity and stall under constant operational pressure
-- The operational risk created by manual work and hero-based infrastructure
-- Why automation initiatives fail and why the root cause is rarely the tooling
-- How IT leaders can rebuild trust in automation and autonomy
-- What IT leaders will look back on and question about endpoint management in 2025

The discussion concludes with a rapid-fire game:
AI vs Human vs Hybrid, deciding where IT work belongs in 2026.

This is not a product pitch.
It is not a trend report.
It is an honest conversation about how IT actually works today and how it needs to evolve.
