Thoughts on technology, business, and the gap between them.
A bot doesn't care about your company size. It cares that you left a window open — an outdated plugin, an exposed port, a service nobody turned off. Most small businesses aren't targeted. They're just exposed. Here's what I've seen in 25 years of cleaning up after bots, and what actually stops them.
Most small and mid-sized businesses are buying AI tools, but only 25% are using AI daily as part of regular operations — and just 15% have fully integrated it into...
You found a tool that does everything you want. The demo looked good. The price works. Six months in, you're dealing with a breach. Security history isn't in the demo — but it's free to check. Here's how.

Full rewrites are expensive, slow, and fail nearly 4 out of 5 times. But doing nothing isn't an option either. AI-assisted refactoring is making it possible to modernize legacy code in targeted steps, without betting the business on a big-bang rewrite.

Most web performance problems stem from the application itself, not server issues. These four simple tests—static content, PHP page, SQL query, and application—help quickly pinpoint whether your bottleneck is server, network, database, or code-related.
