Does public cloud AI cost too much?
Initially, the promise of the cloud is compelling, offering immediate scalability, rapid provisioning, and managed services.

AI coding tools can slow down seasoned developers by 19%
“The 19% slowdown observed among experienced developers is not an indictment of AI as a whole, but a reflection of the real-world friction of integrating probabilistic suggestions into deterministic workflows,” Gogia explained, emphasizing that measurement should include “downstream rework, code churn, and peer review cycles—not just time-to-code.” Broader industry evidence The METR findings align with […]

Arriving at ‘Hello World’ in enterprise AI
Enterprise AI sells like middleware, not SaaS. You’re not dropping an API into Slack; you’re rewiring 20-year-old ERP systems. Procurement cycles are long and bespoke scoping kills product velocity. Then there’s the potential for things to go very wrong. “Small deals are just as much work as larger deals, but are just way less lucrative,” […]
