The AI conversation remains anchored in job loss, when the real shift is about how tasks are being restructured and reallocated. Are you still asking the wrong questions? Automation is accelerating, but it is primarily targeting structured and repeatable tasks, rather than entire roles. Leaders who frame it as job replacement are missing the real … Read more

Tested 3 AI models on moral detection across 6 languages using 2,500 songs. Found that AI nails universal values (Care/Harm: 87% F1) but fails spectacularly at cultural ones (Purity: 4% F1 in Greek). With 75% of internet users speaking non-English, this cultural blindness is a ticking time bomb. Solution: Cultural Intelligence Standard, a benchmark to … Read more

Can an organization truly call itself inclusive if its own workforce struggles with inaccessible tools and systems? … Read more

Our modern internet is a ticking time bomb.

The show reflects a dangerous misunderstanding of what genuine transformation—whether personal, professional, digital, or cultural—actually demands.

Problems 😔 Complexity Readability Maintainability Lack of abstractions Fragile logic Hidden intent Hard debugging Poor modeling Regex mess Solutions 😃 Work with objects instead. Replace strings with data structures dealing with object … Read more

Last week, the tech world was shaken by a headline-grabber: Databricks has surged past the $100 billion valuation mark.

Let’s be real: most developers nod politely when SOLID comes up, then continue writing 500-line classes that smell worse than week-old fried eggs. Here’s the thing: SOLID isn’t about pleasing your CS professor. It’s about writing code that your future self won’t want to rage-quit from after a single bugfix. Bad code means frustration, late … Read more

I studied Electrical and Electronic Engineering back when “coding” was just one of many tools engineers used—more for embedded systems than for building web apps. After years in product, operations, and tech leadership roles, I found myself gravitating back toward software. But this time, something had changed: AI was no longer theoretical. It was building … Read more

AI makes mistakes. Just like people. That’s why we developed an entire QA industry to independently verify our work—and it’s thriving. This sector grows 7% annually and is expected to reach $115.4 billion by 2032, driven in part by the critical need to validate AI-generated outputs. Meanwhile, browser automation has emerged as a core area … Read more
