Life can only be understood backwards but it must be lived forwards.

From zero to hero. No investment plan. No budget.
Today I am at the Marketing Hackers Conference in Sofia, and one thought keeps coming back to me: marketing has never been this accessible. Not long ago, reaching a mass audience meant agencies, media budgets and months of planning. Today one person with an idea, a phone and a set of AI tools can do…

Code or no code?
TechRadar has already solved one of humanity’s biggest post-apocalypse problems: how to brew a decent espresso after civilization ends. No power, no water mains, no problem. So here is my question to every developer on the planet: The world has ended. The cloud is gone. Stack Overflow is a legend told around campfires. Your AI…

Back to the future.
Fujifilm is investing about 10 billion yen to increase its data storage magnetic tape production capacity roughly fivefold at its Odawara site by fiscal 2028, driven by growing AI data archiving demand. It is reportedly the company’s largest tape investment in about 20 years. The technology many of us considered retired is coming back as…

The open-source “andrej-karpathy-skills” repo
Four rules that make AI coding agents behave more like a careful senior engineer. The open-source “andrej-karpathy-skills” repo is a single CLAUDE.md file built from Andrej Karpathy’s public observations on where LLMs go wrong when they write code: overcomplicated code and APIs, bloated abstractions, dead code left behind. It boils down to four principles: 1.…

Graft
We keep teaching people to use fewer tokens without losing quality. Now that effort finally has a real assistant. Graft (now part of Trail-code) builds a map of your codebase: files, functions and who calls what. Coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and GitHub Copilot use that map instead of searching the repository…

OpenBot by CopilotKit
AI coworkers are coming. The question is who sets the rules. CopilotKit released OpenBot, an open-source, self-hosted platform for AI coworkers. Each bot gets its own browser, files and tools. Every action goes through a gateway that checks policy and writes an audit log before anything runs, and the policy engine denies by default. A…

Where will tomorrow’s senior engineers come from?
If AI takes over much of the coding, design and debugging that junior engineers used to learn from, where will tomorrow’s senior engineers come from? Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University are answering with PRAISE – Preceptorship for AI-accelerated Software Engineering – presented on 15 October. It borrows the preceptorship model from nursing: – Junior engineers…

Alibaba’s OpenSandbox
Letting AI agents run code is easy. Letting them run code safely is the real work. Alibaba’s OpenSandbox is an open-source sandbox runtime for AI agents. It gives each agent an isolated place to run code, commands, files and even a browser or desktop, on your own infrastructure: Docker on a laptop, Kubernetes in production.…

Atlassian AI-native SDLC on PROD
At Team ’26 Europe on 7 October, Atlassian moved its AI-native SDLC from playbook to production. What I find interesting is that it targets concrete business pain points across the whole delivery lifecycle, not just coding: – Planning: Planner turns a rough idea into a shared Confluence spec with options, risks, owners and review questions,…

Jarvis on EvenRealities G2
I have been using AI for more than two years. Over time, I’ve automated much of my daily work. But something was always missing.That something was a digital assistant. Because what am I without my suit of armor?Genius, Father, Believer, Mentor, Idealist, Human. So I decided to build my own digital assistant, and only one…
