AI is stressing me out—like, a LOT. So much that I almost quit YouTube. In this video, I'm coming to you from Okinawa, Japan where I've been on a 3-month sabbatical trying to find clarity in the middle of the most intense AI wave we've ever seen. I talk about what's really happening in our industry, the burnout that nobody's talking about, and why I'm choosing relentless optimism over fear.
In this video, you'll hear my honest take on AI burnout, the viral Matt Schumer article, OpenClaw, tech layoffs in 2026, and why the anxiety is the real problem—not the robots. Whether you're a network engineer worried about your career, an IT professional feeling paralyzed by the pace of change, or just someone who loves tech but feels overwhelmed, this conversation is for you. I'm not pretending to have the answers anymore—I'm learning alongside you.
