Running a small or medium-sized business is tough enough without getting buried in spreadsheets every month. A lot of us owners and managers end up wearing too many hats, sales, customer stuff, operations, and then accounting piles on top. Those routine financial tasks eat up hours, and honestly, one slip-up can cause big headaches like tax penalties or cash flow surprises.

Continuous learning, adaptability, and strong support networks are the foundations for thriving teams, Matthew Card mentioned in his presentation about inclusive leadership at Qcon London. Trust is built through consistent, fair leadership and addressing toxic behaviour, bias, and microaggressions early. By fostering growth, psychological safety, and accountability, people-first leadership drives resilience, collaboration, and performance. Building an organisation where people can truly thrive starts with intention, Card said.

"I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue."

The truth is both simpler and more exciting: AI isn't the end of software; it's the beginning of a new era for it. We're living through one of the most exciting moments in the history of software. There has never been a better time to work in this industry. AI is reshaping what's possible, and the level of investment pouring into technology rivals some of the most transformative public infrastructure efforts in modern history.

There's a palpable tension in IT today. Teams are stretched to their limits with a growing backlog of initiatives, while executives expect IT to lead the charge on transforming an organization into an AI-driven one. And the numbers paint a somber picture. IT teams are drowning in work as digital transformation projects have not slowed down but rather accelerated. In fact, IT project requests in 2025 jumped 18% compared to the year prior,

Developers spend more than 60% of their time debugging and maintaining code rather than building new features, Stack Overflow's Developer Survey reports.

One thing I always do when I prompt a coding agent is to tell it to ask me any questions that it might have about what I've asked it to do. (I need to add this to my default system prompt...) And, holy mackerel, if it doesn't ask good questions. It almost always asks me things that I should have thought of myself.

Software development used to be simpler, with fewer choices about which platforms and languages to learn. You were either a Java, .NET, or LAMP developer. You focused on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. Full-stack developers learned the intricacies of selected JavaScript frameworks, relational databases, and CI/CD tools. In the best of times, developers advanced their technology skills with their employer's funding and time to experiment. They attended conferences, took courses, and learned the low-code development platforms their employers invested in.

Oracle is taking steps to "repair" its relationship with the MySQL community, according to sources, by moving "commercial-only" features into the database application's Community Edition and prioritizing developer needs. The "new era" was discussed at a pre-FOSDEM MySQL and Friends event in Belgium. According to a summary seen by The Register, it focused on reinvigorating the MySQL community after a period under Big Red's watch in which the project's headcount fell and developers considered alternatives to the venerable database.
