GAFAM

“But you’ll own nothing and be happy.”

This quote often gets thrown around sarcastically to criticize the growing power of Big Tech. The truth is, GAFAM (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft) already knows more about you than you probably think — your location, your interests, your behavior, your contacts


Death of Small Dev Teams

It’s becoming increasingly difficult for small teams to launch and maintain software projects. Everything moves too fast, and if something doesn’t work perfectly out of the gate, people just scroll past or move on.
