Two years ago, the case for a software-defined camera with an open operating system seemed clean. Decouple hardware from software, expose the OS to third-party developers, and Canon, Nikon, and Sony would face the same fate that hit BlackBerry and Nokia: a closed ecosystem hollowed out by a marketplace of apps and a community of tinkerers. The thesis was directionally right … [Read more...] about The Software-Defined Camera Won. The Open OS Did Not.

Cars Are Computers Now, and Most Carmakers Aren’t
For a century, a car was its hardware. Engine displacement, chassis stiffness, transmission ratios — the metallurgy and mechanical engineering defined the product. Brands competed on the things you could touch. A BMW drove like a BMW because of suspension geometry and inline-six character, not because of code. A Toyota lasted because of build tolerances, not because of an … [Read more...] about Cars Are Computers Now, and Most Carmakers Aren’t

The SDK Generator Benchmarks: Infrastructure vs. Convenience
The market for SDK generators has undergone a fundamental shift. In 2026, client libraries are no longer viewed as "convenience tooling"—they are production artifacts that must survive SOC 2 audits and rigorous supply chain reviews. A new head-to-head evaluation by Speakeasy compares the five heavyweights in the space: Speakeasy, Stainless, Fern, APIMatic, and the … [Read more...] about The SDK Generator Benchmarks: Infrastructure vs. Convenience

Synera’s $40M Series B: What the Press Release Isn’t Saying
The integration graph — 80-plus tool connectors — is the real business. The AI layer is the current sales motion, not the durable competitive advantage. Companies that show up with better-funded AI wrappers don't threaten Synera; Siemens and PTC commoditizing the connector layer does. Synera just closed a $40 million Series B led by Revaia, with Capgemini entering via ISAI … [Read more...] about Synera’s $40M Series B: What the Press Release Isn’t Saying
Amazon’s Globalstar Acquisition Is a Spectrum War Dressed as a Satellite Deal
Amazon has signed an $11.57 billion deal to acquire Globalstar, and most of the coverage has framed it as a satellite story. It is not, primarily, a satellite story. It is a spectrum acquisition, a regulatory maneuver, a defense-market positioning move, and an infrastructure land grab — all executed simultaneously under the cover of a headline about LEO broadband. The … [Read more...] about Amazon’s Globalstar Acquisition Is a Spectrum War Dressed as a Satellite Deal
The End of Manual Audits: Why AI-Native Accounting Is Not Optional Anymore
The idea that accounting—especially auditing—could remain largely unchanged while everything around it digitized was always a temporary illusion. What Modus is doing isn’t just another “AI tool for accountants.” It’s a structural rewrite of how trust is produced in financial systems. And honestly, it’s late. Probably by a decade. Audit work has always been constrained by … [Read more...] about The End of Manual Audits: Why AI-Native Accounting Is Not Optional Anymore
