    Software sustainability is often discussed in terms of energy consumption, data-center efficiency, cloud infrastructure, and the growing computational cost of AI. All of these issues matter, but they tend to overshadow a more basic question: how much unnecessary software turnover is created by the way modern applications are designed, distributed, updated, and eventually abandoned.

    This article continues the discussion I started in my previous piece, The Consequences of the Mass Adoption of AI and Robotics for the Average Person, where I looked at how AI and automation could change the economic value of human labor. Here, I want to focus on the next question: if large numbers of people…

    If we set aside the promotional optimism of technology companies and apocalyptic fantasies, I see the main risk of the near future not in the idea that “AI will destroy humanity,” but in the fact that it may very quickly change the economic value of the average person.

    Today, it may seem that software development is going through something similar to what happened to web publishing after content management systems appeared. AI can already write code, find bugs, build interfaces, connect APIs, and accomplish in a few hours what would have taken a team of developers days or even weeks only a few…

    A budget transparency platform is a public web tool that turns a city’s scattered budget data: spreadsheets, program registries, and open-data exports, into an interactive map and dashboards. Lasoft offers a solution that lets residents or journalists see how much was spent, in which district, and on what, in a few clicks. It is the…

    AI in software development uses large language models, machine learning, and autonomous coding agents across the software development life cycle (SDLC): planning, coding, testing, deployment, and maintenance. Teams using AI coding assistants commonly report 30–50% faster initial implementation, though measured results vary widely. The gains concentrate in code generation, test creation, and documentation. Architecture and…

    In May 2026, a court in Munich did something no court had done before. It ruled that when Google’s AI invents a false statement that damages a business or a person’s reputation, Google can’t hide behind the open web or “the algorithm,” as it becomes legally responsible for those words. For anyone building an AI…

    Most AI productivity numbers you can find are either vendor marketing or self-reported guesses. We wanted our own, so we surveyed all 30 people on our delivery team: every developer, QA engineer, product manager, designer, DevOps engineer, and business analyst about how they actually use AI on client work under real deadlines. What came back…

    A Chinese court has issued a ruling that could become an important precedent for the global labor and technology markets. The court found unlawful the dismissal of an employee that the company had justified by the implementation of artificial intelligence systems and automation. In effect, this is one of the first high-profile cases in which…

    Something quietly broke in the startup org chart over the last two years; the traditional relationship among the CEO, the engineer, and the founder no longer operates on its old terms. Yes, very often the CEO and the founder are one and the same person. Even so, the roles are different, and here we treat…
