Stop Treating AI Governance as a PDF Problem
Why this matters this week AI adoption is starting to hit the controls layer of real companies—policy, compliance, security, audit. The tension is becoming obvious: Security teams want data retention limits; product teams want bigger context windows. Legal wants “no PII ever”; support wants “paste the customer’s full ticket history.” Risk wants documented model behavior;…

The Hidden Cost of “Serverless by Default” on AWS
Why this matters this week A pattern keeps popping up in technical post-mortems and slack threads: “We went serverless on AWS for simplicity and cost savings. Now our bill is weird, our latency is spiky, and nobody understands the platform.” Serverless on AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, Step Functions, EventBridge, SNS/SQS, etc.) is no longer…

Cybersecurity by Design: Stop Bolting It On, Start Engineering It In
Why this matters this week “Cybersecurity by design” is getting thrown around a lot right now, but under the noise there’s a practical reality: the attack surface you created three years ago is probably incompatible with how you’re deploying software today.

Why this matters this week More teams are quietly turning off “successful” machine learning systems than launching new ones. Pattern over the past few months talking with teams: The models “work” in offline evaluation. They look good in the launch deck. Six weeks in, metrics regress, costs explode, or trust erodes. Nobody is quite sure…

The Unsexy Reality of AI Automation: Where It’s Actually Working (and Failing)
Why this matters this week The AI “agent” hype cycle is colliding with something that actually pays the bills: replacing brittle RPA and manual workflows in real businesses. In the last month alone, I’ve seen: A mid-market logistics firm rip out 40+ UiPath bots and replace them with an LLM-driven workflow system tied to their…
