AI agents dominated Big Data LDN 2025, but success wasn't about the technology, it was about building foundations first. After tracking five years of evolution, the lesson for CTOs is clear: governance enables innovation at scale.

So apparently my client has decided that we should (1) start using Cursor, and (2) show up at the office four days a week.
After more than 6 years there, I’m thinking this might be my cue to eject.
Anyone looking for a coder for a remote gig (or hybrid in Stockholm)?

Back from 2 weeks holiday in Devon. First break in 2 years. The past 12 months have been incredibly challenging. Digital Detox FTW. Also managed to double book myself and had to miss Meatopia. Gutted about that: it's my favourite yearly event.
