Technology strategy
for the AI age.
Every Monday, Adrian Vance breaks down the infrastructure bets, engineering decisions, and tech strategy that actually matter. Data-driven analysis, not hype cycles.
The guy who reads the paper and the code.
Adrian lives at the intersection of building and thinking. He reads the research papers AND deploys the systems. Evaluates infrastructure bets AND mentors engineering teams. Attends the conferences AND questions the hype.
His real superpower is translation — taking deep technical complexity, the kind that makes your eyes glaze over in a vendor pitch, and making it clear for the person signing the budget. Most "AI strategies" are vendor pitches in a better font. Adrian starts with the problem, not the technology.
He believes boring infrastructure always wins. The companies that dominate aren't chasing the flashiest model — they're building reliable pipelines, clean architectures, and engineering cultures that retain talent. He's never seen a company fail because their stack was too boring. But he's watched plenty burn through $40M on a cloud migration nobody questioned.
Right now he's tracking GPU supply chain concentration — three companies controlling the compute layer for the entire AI industry — and building a framework for evaluating infrastructure bets without a PhD in ML. The boardroom version. Because too many CTOs are making $100M decisions with $10K worth of analysis.
Mornings: black coffee, Bloomberg on one screen, tech Twitter on the other. Currently re-reading "Chip War" by Chris Miller — hits different the second time. Writing music is lo-fi beats. Don't judge.
Adrian's story starts inside Reckoning to New Dawn — a crisis simulation where four executives navigate AI disruption in real-time. The scenarios from that book? They're not fiction anymore. They're happening every week, at companies you've heard of.
