🌞 Sparky vs. the Sun: How AI Helped Us Work Smarter, Not Sweat Harder

When the summer heat hit hard, we didn’t power through—we powered up.
Sparky, our cowboy-smart AI, helped us redesign the day so the team could keep building without burning out.

Here’s what Sparky handled:

• Shifted heavy work to early hours

• Batched questions so leaders could focus

• Auto-logged builds and breaks to protect the crew

• Kept the ops running while we cooled off creekside

And here’s what it couldn’t do:

• Catch the signs of a heat-sick horse. Tim and LJ did that.

• Bake extra sweet treats for Sonic the ranch pug and Smudge the sidekick.

• Hold space for a tired teammate or a laugh under the shade trees.

The win?
AI gave us margin. The kind that makes room for joy, rest, and the real work of leadership.

Tech didn’t beat the heat. We did. But Sparky sure helped us dance around it.
