In 2026 Postgres is the right default for almost every new project. But three specific workloads still favour MySQL — and migrating an existing codebase is rarely worth it without a concrete pain point.
Most AI strategy decks begin with what models can do and search for problems to apply them to. That is backwards. It explains why most AI pilots never reach production.

Vendor benchmarks leave out the two cost items that usually flip the self-hosting decision: engineering overhead and the model-update cycle. Here is the honest break-even analysis.
Most SaaS founders push annual billing too early or too late. Here's a stage-specific framework — and the migration mechanics nobody writes about.
Chroma's 2025 research tested 18 frontier models and found every one degrades as context grows. This is what context rot means for production engineering decisions — and the specific patterns that address it.
AI tools complete most take-home coding assignments in minutes. The more important question is what we were measuring in the first place, and whether the format ever measured it well.
India has 2,117 global capability centres employing 2.36 million people. The story behind those numbers is neither the cost-arbitrage play they started as nor the innovation labs consultants now claim.
Most services reach for a token bucket and never look further. Rate limiting is four distinct algorithms with different burst behaviours and failure modes — here is what each one actually protects against.
India's Account Aggregator has crossed 2.61 billion enabled accounts and 253 million linked users. Here's what the 2026 maturity picture means for B2B builders, and the three constraints that still bite.
Three years after the second brain movement peaked, most engineers have quietly stopped opening their PKM systems. Here is what worked, where things collapsed, and what three habits actually survived real deadlines.
AI is making specific tasks measurably faster: coding 55%, X-ray reading 36%, customer service sales up 16%. And yet 90% of firms saw no firm-level productivity gain. Here's what the gap means.
