As AI continues embedding itself into everyday tools and processes, it is worth pausing to ask an uncomfortable question. What are we trading for this capability? Modern models are trained on enormous datasets. Some of that data comes from public sources on the internet. Some of it comes from licensed or purchased datasets. Some of […]
There is a lot of conversation right now about how quickly AI can generate software. What is discussed less often is how products actually make it to market. AI can generate a surprising amount of functionality. It can accelerate development in ways that were difficult to imagine only a few years ago. But generating code […]
This week reinforced something important. The race in AI is no longer just about models. It’s about control. OpenAI expanding capabilities.Anthropic releasing remote control features.Perplexity launching computer use.Nvidia pushing agentic tooling.China advancing new foundation models. But another layer emerged. Alignment. OpenAI agreeing to work with the Department of Defense.Anthropic choosing a different path.Signals that federal […]
There’s a growing narrative that AI will replace SaaS. If AI can build anything, why pay for software subscriptions? The logic sounds compelling. It’s also flawed. Software is a tool. If you were an advanced AI system, would you reinvent a calculator every time you needed one?Or would you use the calculator that already exists? […]
Before going any further, I’ll name the product I’ve been circling to and hinting at the past several posts. The system I’m building is called CoffeeBreak. It’s a human-in-the-loop AI teammate designed to assist across the entire software development lifecycle. I’ve avoided leading with the name because this problem exists whether CoffeeBreak ever ships or […]
I recently had a conversation with a peer who was genuinely worried that we’re all going to lose our jobs to AI. I get where the fear comes from. Every major shift in software has triggered the same concern. We heard it during the rise of the web, the move to cloud, and the spread […]
Every year, companies make predictions about what will change in technology. Most are half right and half hype. But heading into 2026 already feels different, and not just because of shiny new tools or bigger clouds. It feels different because the way teams build software is changing at a deeper level. Over the last year, […]
According to recent research by Gartner, human error in a financial institution can cost up to 25000 hours in reworks. This translates to more than $850,000 which when extrapolated to the entire sector means billions of dollars every year. It is no surprise, therefore, that the financial sector is keen to adopt robotic process automation […]
The volume of data in the world is increasing at a rate of 1.5 Megabytes per person per second. The world needs to collect, organise, clean, and analyze that information to draw useful meaning. Data science refers to all activities between collecting and analyzing information for insights. Before scientists collect data, they need to develop […]
Translating complex information into visual form presents great advantages in the world today. Organizations are now able to collect more information than a single person can consume or process. Translating gigabytes of data into charts, graphs, and color-coded maps makes it easier and faster to understand complex concepts or trends. Data visualization is now considered […]
