At least in Enterprise IT, where I work, the challenge is not how you scale technology, but how you scale trust. Big IT problems are always trust problems. That messy CRM systems e…

You might be right but you are missing a lot of nuance here. For instance, yes, Italy is not thinking about growth, true. But Poland? Poland is all about growth, they just made the…

This is all fun and games when you work with toy data samples. But most organizations are more complex, they have to match invoices from SAP with opportunities in Hubspot; or they …

Can you make chinotto?

how do you handle intent orchestration? I see you have workflows, but imagine this is used in combination with other MCP servers, how do you make sure the prompt is sent to the rig…

How would you market such a business in 2026? I am from an Italian region where farmer grow many special coltures, and I was always a bit surprised why they don’t try selling on th…

I met many programmers during the boom years of software that straight out refused to develop any type of soft or managerial skills. Forget that, they even refused to maintain good…

Because in the industries I have experience in IT has typically very little to do with the type of efficiency that matters in manufacturing. For instance, moving a factory from Ger…

I run a small IT consultancy in EU mostly for companies with factories, so I have some biases. I have a few issues with the way IT leadership in EU has been running things the past…

I wonder how much of this drop can be simply explained as having reached a certain industry maturity. I assume at some point most of the fundamentals are in place, so we need less …

You can also just use google sheets if the size of your data allows it.

The challenge with Microsoft in Europe is that it is so convenient, it doesn’t make business sense to consider alternatives. See how easily MS won market share over Slack (MS Teams…

I struggle to make the VC math work on Substack. They take a 10% cut on paid subscriptions. They need 1 billion in paid subscriptions to have a $100m revenue, which at a hopefully …

The most successful use pf generative AI is a chatbot… once you can use a model with natural language you need less rich UIs. I think UIs will become simpler and value will be in t…

Not a direct answer, but I am targeting data marts from ERPs and other Enterprise applications like CRMs. I think data marts (data warehouses) are very valuable but they are too ex…

I find the “principled software” part a bit hard to believe, considering bootstrapped companies change owners too, but the editing files part is interesting. In tina cms [1] they h…

Same here, 14 years lifting, suddenly I had to be in bed for back pain for a week. After that I spent 4 years with backpain and stopped training following the advise of various doc…

Another take is we don’t like being lied to. Lots of these ChatGPT job candidates don’t disclose they are using an AI during the interview.

I like your analogy to the last mile problem in logistics. I would argue in that case people know they are using bespoke, last mile only, systems because there is no other option. …

Take estimated losses of the NYT from this "innovation" and multiply by 10^x where is "x" high enough to make tech companies stop and think before they break laws next time. That w…

Fully agree, but I am not sure 200k month is high enough of a cost to start looking outside of Cloud. A Sr Engineer will probably be 300/400k per year and you need a few of those t…

Maybe you were not wrong on technical merits, but your move proves you underestimated the value of the Kubernetes ecosystem of lots and lots of standards and trained talent. It’s l…
