When Coding Becomes Cheap, Experience Becomes Rational Again
For decades, software teams faced a trade-off: build the best experience, or build something affordable. Native applications offered quality and performance, but they were expensive. So the industry optimized for economics. The web and cross-platform frameworks were good enough, and good enough won. That constraint is now shifting. With AI-assisted development, implementation is becoming cheap. Machines can generate working software quickly. What they cannot generate is clarity. Intent, structure, domain models, and behavior are now the real bottlenecks.
The Philosophy of Self-Driving Enterprise Software – Rethinking How We Build Software
Enterprise systems should support people, not the other way around. Technology should extend human capability, not consume it. For too long, software has demanded that people conform to rigid structures, turning productivity tools into digital bureaucracy. AI-supported systems can reverse this. By operating on context rather than sequence, and relevance rather than rigid workflows, they reduce cognitive load and return time, focus, and agency to the people doing the work. This is not just about efficiency. It is about respecting human judgment, preserving meaning, and building systems that adapt to real work rather than forcing work to adapt to systems

Many of us love sharing amusing AI-generated images with our friends. But are you willing to trust AI with your core business? More people, I've observed, are waking up to the costs and risks. Whoops…
Ambient ERP – breaking free of the enterprise software triad
Imagine a future where your back-office applications are context-aware, operating in the background, only surfacing what matters when it matters. Thanks to progress being made in artificial intelligence (AI) this is no longer a fanciful dream.
Self-driving ERP systems will end digital drudgery, halving the number of tasks that need manual interventions
Agentic AI is attracting a lot of attention for its ability to behave autonomously and render complex, multi-step processes into seamless wholes by joining up data from multiple sources.
Why Agentic AI Should Be an Evolution, Not a Revolution
U.S. private AI investment grew to $109.1 billion in 2024 – leading to an “AI arms race” in which many businesses scrambled to be the first to announce shiny new capabilities. But did some tech…
