There is a war brewing between AI and consulting. Akin to an armies slow march towards the castle, a new technology is coming to dethrone the expert guessers of Mckinsey, Nielsen, Gartner, Publicis and the rest. Any consulting that involves analyzing people (think all of marketing, research, polling, etc.) will have to reckon with the technology of “synthetic audiences”.Synthetic audiences aim to generate digital versions of people that can then be surveyed almost instantly and affordably, but not as accura

The people who say I don’t really get angry aren’t more even-tempered, they’ve just routed their anger into productivity, cleaning, and overcommitment so reliably that they no longer recognize it when it’s happening

The calm of people who say they don't really get angry isn't the absence of the emotion — it's anger routed so efficiently into productivity, cleaning, and overcommitment that the person feeling it can no longer locate where it went. Here's how the pattern gets installed, and what it costs. Read more

Почему RBAC недостаточно: опыт построения тарифно-зависимой системы доступа в SaaS или о чём молчат в статьях компаний

Тема разграничения доступности действий в рамках конкретного тенанта выходит далеко за рамки ERP домена и требует особо пристальной реализации. Это особенно применимо для коммерческих систем (коей и является Kroncl - название системы), в которых классический RBAC требует определённых доработок, включающих адаптацию к упрощённой features-based access control (в народе - FBAC, является своего рода реализацией ABAC). Кроме того, технологические компании крайне редко (уникальные случаи всё же есть) посвящают пу Read more

Looking at enterprise AI adoption, VentureBeat has anecdotally observed a fairly wide divergence when it comes to specific roles: For those who build—engineers and developers—the arrival of AI has been transformative, moving through the workflow with the speed of tools like Claude Code and Cursor to automate the heavy lifting of syntax and architecture. Yet, for those who sell, the "revenue stack" has remained a fragmented collection of data silos,... Read more

Most orchestration frameworks were built for agents that run for seconds or minutes. Now that agents are running for hours — and in some cases days — those frameworks are starting to crack.Several model providers, such as Anthropic with Claude Code and OpenAI with Codex, introduced early support for long-horizon agents through multi-session tasks, subagents and background execution. However, these systems sometimes assume agents are still operating within bounded-time workflows... Read more
