Clear notes on modernization, integration, AI, data, cloud delivery, and technical leadership.
Human-in-the-loop is often described as a requirement for AI systems. Add a human for review.Add approval steps.Add checkpoints. On paper, that makes sense. In practice, it often fails. Not because the idea is wrong. Because […]
A lot of AI interfaces today are still built around the same patterns we’ve used for years. Pages.Forms.Buttons. Even when AI is involved, the experience often comes down to entering a prompt and waiting for […]
AI capabilities are converging faster than most people expected. What felt differentiated six months ago is quickly becoming table stakes. Code generation.Agent workflows.Automated pipelines. More companies are building similar capabilities at a rapid pace. That […]
There’s a growing belief that AI is going to simplify software development. Write some prompts. Generate some code. Move faster. On the surface, that’s happening. But underneath, something else is going on. We’re not reducing […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
Governance around AI agents is becoming a louder topic. That’s not a reactionary trend. It’s a predictable one. When agents move from generating text to taking action inside real systems, governance stops being theoretical. Most […]
Last week was full of impressive AI headlines. New models from OpenAI and Anthropic. New benchmarks. Even stories about AI writing compilers that can run games like Doom. That level of capability is remarkable. The […]
