Rethinking cloud operations with agentic observability (5 minute read)
Microsoft says cloud operations are moving from dashboards and alerts toward AI agents that can reason over telemetry, incidents, and operational context. The pitch is that observability agents can help teams detect, explain, and resolve infrastructure issues faster.
Network shares: still talking about them in 2026 (9 minute read)
Network file sharing remains surprisingly messy on Linux in 2026, especially when moving between KDE, GTK, Flatpak, and command-line tools. While KDE has improved compatibility with technologies like kio-fuse, many apps still struggle to access network shares consistently. With new funding from the Sovereign Tech Fund, KDE is now working on a range of fixes to make network shares behave more like a seamless, system-wide feature.
What Is Software, and Will LLMs Replace It? (10 minute read)
LLMs will not replace business software because software's core value is structured data, enforced consistency, reliable filtering, and step-by-step process control. Instead, software will increasingly be fronted by LLMs via bridges like tool calling and MCP, letting models query and act on systems that already provide schema, permissions, and constraints.
