I'm in the middle of helping to steer a significant digital transformation initiative at Winnebago Outdoors. We're upgrading the ERP system to a new platform consisting of Microsoft D365, Salesforce, and the Teamcenter systems.

The Release Train Engineer (RTE) role is collaborative, involving deep engagement with the Agile Release Train (ART), a composite of agile teams working in concert to achieve a shared objective. Here's a closer look at what an RTE does day to day:

✔️ Navigating Complexity: An RTE acts as the captain of the ship in turbulent digital waters, guiding the ART through planning, execution, and delivery. This involves facilitating Program Increment (PI) planning sessions, a critical event where the roadmap for the next phase is charted, risks are assessed, and strategies are devised.

✔️ Fostering Synergy: One of the greatest strengths of an RTE lies in its ability to foster collaboration among diverse teams and stakeholders. This role ensures alignment across various functions, encouraging transparency and communication. The RTE serves as a bridge between strategic goals and tactical execution, ensuring everyone moves in unison towards common objectives.

✔️ Driving Value Delivery: At the heart of SAFe is the relentless focus on delivering value to customers. An RTE ensures that every element of the ART contributes to this goal, optimizing flows, removing impediments, and managing risks. This consistent drive towards efficiency and effectiveness culminates in accelerated time-to-market and enhanced product quality.

The presence of an RTE within a transformation initiative brings several advantages. These include improved coordination across teams, enhanced clarity and focus on business objectives, streamlined processes, and a significant uplift in the morale and productivity of agile teams. Essentially, an RTE turns chaos into clarity, complexity into simplicity, and plans into action.

reThink-Solar

In 2007, a spark ignited my love for solar, fueling a drive toward a renewable future, one community at a time. Born from a desire to make solar energy accessible and affordable to all, we embarked on a quest to redefine the solar engagement. 

Starting with solar leasing in 2007, then residential sales, to commercial contracts, and now to Community Solar for all.

It's been an exhilarating ride, flavored with challenges, triumphs, and countless learning moments. Today, reThink Solar stands as a beacon for change, guiding individuals and businesses toward a brighter, more sustainable tomorrow. One that can be totally without costs or expense when you have the key ingredients.

reThink Solar's Mission

At the core of reThink Solar pulses a steadfast mission - to weave the benefits of solar energy into the fabric of everyday life. We dream of a world where everyone, regardless of whether they own or rent their home, can tap into the power of the sun.

Our mission is simple yet bold: connect our customers to local community solar farms, ensuring a minimum of 5% savings on their electric bills annually for up to two decades. Now, with our services extending across numerous states in the USA, that dream is becoming a reality. 

At reThink Solar, we believe that everyone should have access to clean and affordable energy, regardless of whether they own their home or business. That's why our community solar model is designed to connect with renters, homeowners, and small businesses alike.

The power of the sun is for everyone — because reThink Solar believes that change, like sunlight and all renewable energy, should be universal and unbound. There's no simpler path to saving on your electric bill while championing renewable energy.

The Ground Beneath Leadership Is Shifting

If you’ve ever felt the pressure to lead through uncertainty without a map, welcome. This is where we draw the new ones. AI isn’t knocking politely at the door. It’s rewiring how teams operate, how decisions get made, and how value is created.

Old playbooks don’t bend. They break. And the burden of clarity? It’s falling squarely on you.

If you’re the one responsible for making sense of chaos for integrating new tech, managing team emotions, aligning systems, and staying strategic without burning out, then AILKEMY was built with you in mind.

You’re not a passive observer of change. You’re the one others look to when everything changes. 

AILKEMY exists to help you build that kind of organization. We don’t hype tools. We train humans to lead through disruption.

Why Read AILKEMY? 

AI won’t replace you. But teams who master human–AI collaboration will. This isn’t about man versus machine. It’s about hybrid orchestration, the art of blending automation with empathy, speed with systems thinking, and clarity with courage.

Who Reads AILKEMY? 

AILKEMY is written for the most accountable people in the room—those who don’t have the luxury of waiting for certainty. Whether you lead others, build products, run a team, or want to stay relevant, it helps you lead with clarity, not chaos.

Why I Publish AILKEMY?

I’m Daniel Stouffer. I’m an author of dozens of nonfiction books, a systems thinker, a firefighter, and a futurist. I’ve helped leaders navigate disruption for two decades, not from a theory lab, but from the front lines of change: in startups, classrooms, fire stations, and boardrooms.

I write AILKEMY because I’ve lived the pressure of needing answers when the playbook no longer works. I know what it feels like to be the one people look to in moments of uncertainty. 

This newsletter, and the “Insights-as-a-Service (AIS) we’re launching, is my way of offering a lifeline of clarity, one issue at a time.

I advice on Product Management | Growing your customer base | Career Growth

2X-Founder | Author | Growth | Ultra Runner | Writer

From failed startups to scaling Truepush to 100B+ notifications monthly and 4,500+ customers worldwide, I've learned what it takes to build products people need and grow them relentlessly.

I built Truepush from paper wireframes to becoming a top 10 global player in our category. At Alohaa.ai, I doubled sales within just 3 months and drove consistent month-over-month revenue growth.
Beyond business, I push limits personally. 

I recently completed an 82.4km ultra run during a 12-hour stadium event. Mountains, travel, and nature are where I find liberation through both excitement and boredom.

Learning obsessively fuels everything I do. I've devoured 336+ books, and continuously invest in courses (Mindvalley, MasterClass, Matt Gray, Justin Welsh, Reforge and more).

When knowledge compounds with consistent execution, results follow:

- Built a 25,000-person startup community across 3 cities
- Published 250+ LinkedIn posts in 2024 alone
- Recognized among the top 1% of mentors on Topmate.io
- Created Solopreneur OS to help others identify market gaps and build growth systems

All while maintaining 7 hours of sleep nightly, seeing friends regularly, and maintaining my unusual preference for vegetables over chocolate (though I love both).

Want to build something great? Let's connect.

I am usually frustrated with high pricing for simple SaaS products,
Doubly frustrated when there is no purchasing power parity introduced(country-specific)
Triply more frustrated when I feel that if I knew how to code, I would have built and used it.

Haven't touched code after college, and picked up after 13 years.

I thought the chatbots were pricy because they cost more infra, but when I dug in, the truth is far from it.

Most people pay because it's AI-driven,

But if you can give your own AI key to these chatbots, it will be way cheaper.

With all this, in my free time, I built something in the last few weeks.

It's called BYOKChat (Bring your own AI Key).

Kept a generous Lifetime deal for people who have ideas and use lovable, replit, Claude code, etc.

And would like a bot to

1) Talk on your behalf

2) Record their questions (So you know to prioritize features)

3) Help those questions turn into content articles(using other tools)

I scratched my own itch.

If you find it useful, take it.

You can't find a better deal than this on the Internet.

Let me know what you think.

PS: I don't have an excuse to be frustrated for not being able to build small tools, I guess.

BYOKChat — AI Chatbots With Zero AI Markup

There are 3 types of people who smile a lot in Starbucks or Thirdwave

1) Friends
2) People working on a new Idea, together
3) People who are still hiring people into Ponzi-like schemes

Just my observation (3rd type seems constant, and it's disappointing)

Do things that AI can't do, like 

sleeping well
eating well
exercising
meeting friends
travelling
reading books
telling jokes
learning languages

What will you add to the list?

For most(or all) of us who are lucky to have privilege of education, work and health. Our needs are always met(food, shelter, cloths, some good relationships). 

It’s the wants that are hard and we try to make meaning out of it.

Why we need personal wealth - we need to have clarity first so we know what’s a good number to hit.

I am not saying you shouldn’t build great things , scale and make insane money.

If you have potential (which you have), you should absolutely go for it.

Just that, having clarity will make you differentiate and then actually spend money on things that matter to ‘you’.

In India, most of the adoption feels like it's coming from coders, like everywhere else, but in marketing, it feels like it still needs a lot of adoption. 

The reason, my guess is, is purchase parity. For a product that is $100 in the US, we see the same perceived value at $40. 

Images and videos using AI are not cheap. Even other AI tools in marketing don't feel cheap. 

Another reason could be that Marketing needs a lot of experimenting. With code, you can see the output. With marketing, it's still a guesswork. So it may feel safer to go with what's already working than try new tools (the results are visible after a few days or weeks sometimes).

For experimenting, at least for the small to medium startups, it feels like a lot because you end up spending a lot. 

If we compare people versus AI tools, AI feels much better, but got to see how much it will be a common practice soon. 

PS: Or maybe the adaptation is good, and I may not be seeing it well in immediate circles. What's your observation?

I went down the Claude code rabbit hole as a dummy and pushed live on a $20 claude subscription, and it took 2 weeks; someone experienced will do it in less than a week. 

And there are companies charging $6000 for an MVP (just came across liftoff.so)

I am very curious about how things are changing and the impact of it.

PS: Mine too is an MVP, no users, but the above one they are charging for is for an MVP too. I am not sure the impact of this in real production and with a lot of users, I like to know (please share your experience if you have done it).

PSS: Has someone worked on Claude Cowork or Openclaw to create something/market / sell? I like to try it out. If you worked on it, please share your experience. (I am more interested in marketing)

AI is helping me do many things and it's scary, here is why -

Firstly, I see myself as a generalist in understanding, and having depth with marketing.

Secondly, with AI (using Claude code), I know I can build few things, but then, do not know if I can understand scale or depth.

I haven't focused enough on creating agents, but it will be inevitable not to create agents and get things done.

So anything with some understanding of agents(easy part) + strategy(hard part) can make agents do - Research, compose data, send emails to relevant people for research, build specific landing pages based on personas, make content for ads / seo  (or even run campaigns by themselves in the future)

While I can take this data, use whispr like tools, talk to my command line (or just input the data from research) and let the claude agents orchestrate things and build a product, while I read a book, make tea, or go out for a walk.

There is something called The Jonah Complex - It is the terrifying realisation that you are capable of far more than you are currently doing, which creates pressure to live up to that potential. 

It's that, now you know you can do so many things, and the pressure build up gets the best of you (while we try to catchup with AI, try to avoid burn out while making 20-30X decisions in short time, that we are used to).

If the potential to create anything is scary, I don't know what is.

We will only remain sane, only when we are clear of purpose and direction (at least on the SaaS side of things)

Or else, it's easy to be lost, pressured and even broken now living up to what we can do. And anything that makes us value less isn't worth it.

Things are changing top down (early adapters -> everyone else).

Time to embrace the change. Sooner the better.

PS: The above automation, even to make it, needs conviction, time and a mental framework how things needs to be done and what output you intended to get(hard part). Once we know, it's easy to get things done.

The hard part (direction and purpose) never changes.

A good piece of writing advice is that you have to write as you speak, 
and with tools like Wispr Flow (speech-to-text tool), I feel like you can just speak and it writes, 
So, more or less, it's in the speaking language. 

This week I wrote two posts with Wispr, and the engagement was pretty good. 

When I went back and read those posts, I did feel like they were more natural, conversational, and made a point across quickly(saved a ton of time).

PS: Even this post is written like that.

3 simple steps to use Claude 10X Effective with results(Guranteed, no B.S)

1) Eat clean, exercise, and do other things to keep your head sane - so your mind works first to make the tools work.

2) Read, speak, and learn from experience so you develop common sense in a field while knowing the technicalities.

3) Use speech mode and get things done by talking to it (2-3X than typing), make judgments well because you have a clear head, depth of knowledge, and direction. Iterate on the output until you are satisfied.

Easy.

With AI agents, the roles will change, new roles will emerge, and new org structures will evolve. We can only guess to an extent, but it may be clearer in the next 2-3 years.

I feel the big changes started to come when the first Claude code and similar came out, then Openclaw  (and then Claude Cowork,etc.)

Especially for large companies, I have a feeling it's ambiguous how well to manage these changes. New companies may not feel as much about this problem(if founders completely rely on AI from day 0).

People are saying tech people are not writing code anymore, and software is cheap, and anyone can code. 

The thing that is not getting popular is that non-tech people can code or make apps.

The reason is that it's very complex for a non-tech person. Somebody who knows what goes where and what to ask, it's easier for them to get things done, but for a non-tech person, what to ask is also a very big deal. 

It gets very confusing very quickly. 

I did code in college, but then I had to relearn a lot of basics the last few months just to go and vibe code again. I thought I'd manually code, but then I started to vibe code because I know what to ask, at least the basics, and I'm so happy that I've spent a few months learning all the basics again, so I know what to ask and not get lost! I did try Replit, Loveable, to make some apps, but it gets into hallucination, and the apps were never made. 

Because I won’t know what's going on! It will throw an error, and I would never understand what it is. 

So, it's still a good idea to go learn to code, and learning to code is cheap in terms of cost. The only thing is time, but it's an asset. Once you learn, it will stay with you for a long time. I tried Scrimba, got a good discount, and I paid ₹4,000 for a year. I would spend about 30 minutes every day. That’s why it took me a very long time. 

For me, it’s like a hobby, a side project, or an interest. I do know that it's a skill that I need to develop, because going forward, apps may be more dependent on APIs than plugins or interfaces. 

If I want to create some workflow or AI agent or anything, so I am not dependent on the tech team or where I'm not paying a bomb for software, which I could instead make on a weekend. Go to Scrimba, it's cheap, or if you find something similar, you can try, but this is really good. 

If you are a non-tech person, just don't stress about learning quickly. Give it like 30 minutes every day, or like three times a week, it doesn't matter, as long as you're getting somewhere and getting an idea of what this all is about.If you want to do something really quickly, you can go and check Codefast by Mark Lou. I tried that too. That’s where I actually could understand the whole picture of what happens in a SaaS. Then I went to Scrimba and learned the details. 

I did enjoy it, so for me, I didn't really mind just going back to it every day for like 30 minutes or working on it. Just try their free modules and see if it is working for you. Things are changing a lot, especially not tech people. 

I feel like they should learn about some basics of tech. Otherwise, it might get hard, or you might be paying a lot for software. If you are in a startup and on a low budget, this is a good way to innovate and try to do things your way. 

PS: If you are a tech or non-tech person in SaaS, like to know your views on this.

Knowing what to build, having taste and building distribution will be the hardest.

building itself may be easier compared to other those three (still hard but comparative)

I want to start a Mind-brush up Meetup for SaaS creators 
Will be divided into 3 segments

Basically, you will come, write down everything you want to do,
Brainstrome, discuss, write down information gaps
Write down your success criteria

all this in the first segment

Second segment -> You will reserach on google(not AI) for fact and information checks as needed, write down what you think, discuss

Third segment -> Use AI to compare results from your think and what it says.

You preserve your original thinking, while also using AI to validate, add up more flavour than you do it alone.

You will also be less biased.

Or you can do this at your home or office, individually, if you like this format (to much effort to gather people anyway)

With the tools getting faster, the advantage anyone would have is to slow down in thinking and look at which direction to take. Once decided, execute it fast with the tools.

Better Thinking =

Better mental health
Not stressed out
A mind that is happy
Have depth of the field they are working on at some level
Intuition 
Working with the right people
Managing timelines
Knowing what to cut down
Knowing what to prioritize
Staying sane while all this is happening

What do you think?

Worklife balance is easier 

Have a life and then work 

Sometimes work becomes life(if you building / creating / learning something new) ,
even then, allocated things of importance and have non negotiables (as much as you can, and you can)

Physical and mental health. Allocating time to talk on non work things - are non negotiables at the least.

Vibe coding is fine, wake me up when there is Vibe marketing happening from one platform.

(Na, not just making ads -> Research, channels to short list, positioning, messaging, text, images, videos, formats,  automated campaigns to run,  results with  feedback loops to modify paid ads / organic content, etc, while building trust)

Until then, I will use AI tools separately(and judgment is by default anyway)

PS: I am pretty sure more consolidation will happen, but as of now, it's fragmented. I have a feeling that at least channel-wise tools will start getting consolidated to some level. With the ease of making things happen, the winning edge would be - To build something useful, knowing customers, and execution speed. These are timeless, despite tools.

Have anyone tried clawbot? Need some guidance.

I tried last month to set up on a VPS. But it kept throwing errors despite following all steps.

Want to make a research bot.

I put in a free tier for Bring Your Own AI Key Chatbot

Guess people like to try first.
