The Only Thing That Predicts AI Adoption

Aditya Agarwal built Facebook's first search engine. Spent years as Dropbox's CTO. Then he used AI for a weekend and felt "profound sadness" for all the years he'd lost to manual work.
Over the next five days, he shipped more code than in the previous five years.
He noticed something else. When hiring for AI-native roles, traditional credentials predicted nothing. Years of experience? Worthless. What predicted success? Personal projects. Side builds. Evidence of someone who makes things because they can't help themselves.
The same pattern shows up in hotels. The commercial teams pulling ahead aren't the ones with the biggest IT budgets or the fanciest consultants. They're the ones asking one more question. Getting answers in seconds instead of days. Following threads that used to dead-end in spreadsheet hell.
The dividing line isn't age. It isn't experience. It's disposition.
Are you someone who sees a question and needs the answer?
That's who LaderaAI is building for.
