💻 Autodesk's Restructuring: The tech giant lays off 1,350 employees (9%) as it shifts from a sales-led approach to a self-serve model, focusing on cloud, AI and core software in response to increasing market competition. 

🏗️ Software and Competitive Advantage: The hosts debate whether construction software provides real competitive advantage when widely adopted across the industry, or if it simply becomes a necessary "tax" for staying in the game. Key Timestamps:
