Hello
Hope you all had a great week! We had some phenomenal weather in Switzerland which I very much enjoyed, even though it was hot.
We worked mostly on client projects this week, but did also get a little bit of planning for our next picu releases in as well. Also, I’ve been reading through the feedback we received from our customers after our e-commerce release, which is the best reminder of why we do this.

📺 Is AI really taking our jobs?
In this short video, sociology professor Judy Wajcman talks about the future of work, the hype around AI and why predictions of huge job losses are almost certainly not true.

Definitely something to think about.
