AI is eating into the value of "just coding", so what do you do about it? Colleen and Joe talk through how they're each adapting: AI-enabled services, getting more strategic with clients, and actually understanding what non-tech businesses need (not just what they say they want). Plus: cold outreach experiments, product ideas, and some financial housekeeping.

Takeaways:

• When coding becomes commoditized, strategy becomes the differentiator
• Cold outreach isn't dead
• The best opportunities come from understanding the business problem, not just the technical one
