AI can write your website code, but should it?

Wyatt from WiscWebs uses AI every day in his development work, but not to build entire websites.

He uses it as a way to catch errors, automate repetitive tasks, and troubleshoot faster.

The problem is a growing number of developers are trying to build entire sites with AI and then spending their whole day auditing code they don't fully understand instead of actually learning the craft.

Full episode drops on Wednesday at 6AM!

M2's 21st Annual Corn Roast was a success!

Good food, great company, and a whole lot of fun! We had a little bit of everything— burgers, brats, chicken, potatoes, bacon, watermelon, and of course, plenty of corn!

Big shoutout to Debi, Glen, Jeff, and Eric for taking the time to set up and cook for us today. They were absolute champs and the food was delicious!

Before you sign with a TMS provider, ask them one question.

"What other softwares do I need to make this run?"

Tyler, Director of Solutions at M2 Logistics, says most shippers don't realize they're buying the core TMS, but still need to purchase the five additional license just to get the basic functionality. At that point, the affordable option isn't so affordable anymore.

Everyone says they offer real-time visibility, but not everyone means the same thing.

Tyler, Director of Solutions at M2 Logistics, makes an important distinction. Visibility isn't just knowing where a truck is every 15 minutes. It's your freight accruals, your order placement, your scheduling, and how your customers are receiving goods.

Most TMS providers pick one piece and all it solved. But enCompass pulls it all together into one platform and shows you exactly where the gaps are.

M2 decided to take action after recognizing that most free TMS options can't do enough and the expensive ones are out of reach to small and mid-size shippers.

Finding enterprise-grade functionality, real integration capabilities, and a price point that actually works for businesses that aren't Fortune 500 companies.
