Dear Zoe, I’m a mid-career operator with a solid track record in tech, but no AI experience. I’ve noticed a steady stream of smart people around me jumping into AI — former colleagues, friends, even my mentor. I’m curious about the space, but I’m not sure if it’s too late to pivot. Everything seems to be moving so fast, and I worry I’ve missed the window to get in early. Is there still time? And how should I start?
