If you manage the website for a large business, and that website has a blog or newsroom or insights or any other regularly updated content, why in the world would you choose to not produce an RSS feed for that content? Seriously! This makes absolutely no sense to me. The behavior seems especially prevalent in the fintech industry.
Not including RSS feeds is a huge missed opportunity to increase and maintain regular readership of content to help drive interest and sales in a company’s products.
Today’s AWS outage has me thinking more about redundancy for our public cloud-based offerings. Is it enough to set up failover infrastructure with the same host in a different region? Should we be considering using a different cloud provider in a different region for our replication and disaster recovery environments?
I have no doubt that other product and development managers are asking themselves the same questions today. Definitely lots to think about.
Seriously one of the dumbest things this administration has done, and that’s saying something.

I am so excited to see what my team is able to do with these new models in Azure. I am especially excited to see how the model router functionality benefits our solutions and ultimately our clients in both experience and in cost savings.

I have been putting iPadOS 26 through its paces, and there are some really nice advancements that will make the iPad even more powerful than it already is today.
Any Mac (or Windows) user will appreciate the new menus at the top of the screen for the active app, and the ability to have multiple apps visible at once makes multi-tasking more useful. The ability to easily resize apps is also a great addition. I also like how iOS apps automatically open as windows instead of awkwardly filling the screen with a ton of empty space.
That reminds me, Apple, please enhance the Sports app for iPad. It makes no sense that it is an iOS-only app at this point.
If you have a non-essential, relatively recent iPad, give the iPadOS 26 Beta a try. I think you’ll like it!
Let’s all remember that Andreesen is the product of a state-funded public university (University of Illinois), and his wealth is the byproduct of his work at National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the same university.
The U of I is a diverse and welcoming community and has been as long as I can remember. Andreesen has clearly been corrupted by his wealth and has forgotten from where he came.

Okay, this is a really good one for all of my fellow financial technology super geeks!
We’re at a very interesting pivot point in the technology business where the teams pushing to deliver Gen AI capabilities to clients are not comfortable with using the same technology to create their own content.
What that tells me from a product perspective is what we have known for a while: evidence packages and transparency are critical for the adoption of Gen AI in critical business use cases.
Apple is adding some great interoperability features in iOS and iPadOS 26 that will make traveling with multiple devices much more user friendly and will make it possible to stream content easily with devices besides those that already support AirPlay.
Even though this seems super technical, end-users are going to love these features!
