Estimated wasted cloud spend rose in 2026 for the first time in five years. Flexera’s 2026 State of the Cloud Report, based on 753 cloud decision-makers, puts that waste at 29% of spend, even as more organizations staff FinOps teams and talk about business value rather than discounts. That combination is the story. The discipline […]

A product manager drops last quarter’s forecast into a free chatbot to “clean up the story.” A developer pastes an internal […]

Everyone has read the AI failure story by now. MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of enterprise generative AI pilots deliver no measurable P&L impact, with only about 5% reaching production at scale. RAND put a number on the pattern behind that: interviewing 65 data scientists and engineers, it found that more than 80% of […]

Living in the Netherlands, I spend a fair amount of time on trains, and that is usually where I catch up on what the builder community is writing. Until now, that meant opening a laptop or squinting at a browser tab on my phone. This week I found myself scrolling through trending articles and checking […]

Generative AI is raising success rates on fraud, impersonation, and intrusion by making those attacks cheaper and harder to dismiss as fake.

Fifteen years later, that trust has only deepened, and the service has been rebuilt to […]
