This week on Software Sundays, KD breaks down a major shift happening at the intersection of technology, policy, and opportunity.

We start with how AI is being used in housing for loans, leases, and pricing, and why the rollback of discrimination safeguards could make biased systems harder to challenge. Then we get into Anthropic’s latest model claims, the suspicious timing of recent leaks, and what all of it says about hype, trust, and the current state of the AI market.

KD also unpacks the proposed 401(k) rule changes that could open retirement portfolios to private equity, private credit, real estate, and crypto — along with what that could mean for everyday investors, founders, and access to capital.

In this episode’s Q&A, we cover why root and admin access should be used carefully, what it really means when people say data is the new oil, how strong engineers debug problems faster, what a variable actually is, and when it makes sense to raise a security policy exception.

We close with a reminder to lean into your unfair advantages and use what you have to move with confidence.
