Kubernetes Cloud Repatriation Saves Millions for Data Platform Provider - “It has reported an annual saving of $3.9 million by moving its development and testing environments away from AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. According to Neil Carson of Yellowbrick, the company had been spending about $6 million per year across the three major cloud providers when the repatriation project began in 2022.”
The Product Model and Agile - Yeah, getting to “agile product management” is tough. The Pivotal Labs people seemed to have figured it out, but marrying up weekly app releases with applying the scientific method to your app’s features (product management) is elusive.

DeepSeek and the Enterprise - ”Enterprises that want to embrace AI, in other words, have reasons to want to do so on their own infrastructure. But that has posed its own set of challenges, challenges which have led many enterprises to scale back their ambitions and turn their eyes from large, expensive foundational models to small, more cost efficient and easily trained alternatives.”
Core Principles of AI Data Readiness - Maybe enterprise AI is all about getting your data into shape. Historically, that is very difficult. Good luck!
On the Undesign of Apple Intelligence Features - Yeah, I like the results and utilities of the Writing Tools, but the the UI is clunky as fuck. Plus, they don’t have Shortcuts support. That would be really useful. // “Writing Tools on MacOS is the most obviously flawed of the Apple Intelligence features suffering from weak implementation or questionable U.I. choices, but there are other examples, too."
