Reading Time: 4 minutesFor many organisations, the AI debate has moved on from whether to adopt the technology to a harder question: why do the results feel uneven? New tools are in place, pilots are running, and budgets are rising, yet clear AI returns remain elusive. According to Cloudflare’s 2026 App Innovation Report, the difference often has less […]
Responsive Hexagon Grid Using Modern CSS
Reading Time: 7 minutesFive years ago I published an article on how to create a responsive grid of hexagon shapes. It was the only technique that didn’t require media queries or JavaScript. It works with any number of items, allowing you to easily control the size and gap using CSS variables. CodePen Embed Fallback I am using float, […]

Open Props @custom-media Recipes
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThe @custom-media at-rule has landed in Firefox Nightly! I couldn’t find it in the release notes but Adam Argyle’s on the beat noting that it’s behind a flag for now. Look for layout.css.custom-media.enabled I often forget the exact name of an @media query or simply get tired writing something like @media screen and (prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference) […]
Defensive AI and how machine learning strengthens cyber defense
Reading Time: 3 minutesCyber threats don’t follow predictable patterns, forcing security teams to rethink how protection works at scale. Defensive AI is emerging as a practical response, combining machine learning with human oversight. Cybersecurity rarely fails because teams lack tools. It fails because threats move faster than detection can keep pace. As digital systems expand, attackers adapt in […]
Controlling AI agent sprawl: The CIO’s guide to governance
Reading Time: 4 minutesCorporate networks are filling up with AI agents, creating a governance blind spot for leaders managing multi-cloud infrastructures. As distinct business units race to adopt generative technologies, CIOs especially find their ecosystems populated by fragmented and unmonitored assets. This mirrors the shadow IT challenges of the cloud era, but involves autonomous actors capable of executing […]
Gates Foundation and OpenAI test AI in African healthcare
Reading Time: 4 minutesPrimary healthcare systems across parts of Africa are under growing strain, caught between rising demand, chronic staff shortages, and shrinking international aid budgets. In that context, AI is being tested in healthcare less as a breakthrough technology and more as a way to keep basic services running. According to reporting by Reuters, the Gates Foundation […]
I Learned The First Rule of ARIA the Hard Way
Reading Time: 5 minutesSome time ago, I shipped a component that felt accessible by every measure I could test. Keyboard navigation worked. ARIA roles were correctly applied. Automated audits passed without a single complaint. And yet, a screen reader user couldn’t figure out how to trigger it. When I tested it myself with keyboard-only navigation and NVDA, I […]

Balancing AI cost efficiency with data sovereignty
Reading Time: 3 minutesAI cost efficiency and data sovereignty are at odds, forcing a rethink of enterprise risk frameworks for global organisations. For over a year, the generative AI narrative focused on a race for capability, often measuring success by parameter counts and flawed benchmark scores. Boardroom conversations, however, are undergoing a necessary correction. While the allure of […]
The quiet work behind Citi’s 4,000-person internal AI rollout
Reading Time: 4 minutesFor many large companies, artificial intelligence still lives in side projects. Small teams test tools, run pilots, and present results that struggle to spread beyond a few departments. Citi has taken a different path, where instead of keeping AI limited to specialists, the bank has spent the past two years pushing the technology into daily […]

SAP and Fresenius to build sovereign AI backbone for healthcare
Reading Time: 2 minutesSAP and Fresenius are building a sovereign AI platform for healthcare that brings secure data processing to clinical settings. For data leaders in the medical sector, deploying AI requires strict governance that public cloud solutions often lack. This collaboration addresses that gap by creating a “controlled environment” where AI models can operate without compromising data […]
Scaling AI value beyond pilot phase purgatory
Reading Time: 3 minutesScaling AI value from isolated pilots to enterprise-wide adoption remains a primary hurdle for many organisations. While experimentation with generative models has become ubiquitous, industrialising these tools (i.e. wrapping them in necessary governance, security, and integration layers) often stalls. Addressing the gap between investment and operational return, IBM has introduced a new service model designed […]
