A committee of professors and students spent five months studying how AI changed learning on campus, and the findings read like a warning to every university on the planet.

Study groups are disappearing.

I was a skeptic of the agile movement, which turned into blah-hype over the past 10 years.

- everyone labeled as "Agile Coach"
- hundreds of frameworks and certificates
- hardly any real-world outcomes

Guess how trustworthy it is to see the same people appear as "AI Coaches" 🤣
