Yogi Schulz’s Top‑10 reflections on information technology in 2025 crystallize a simple but profound idea: AI moved from a feature to an infrastructure layer that reshaped procurement, power planning, cybersecurity, and day‑to‑day operations across the energy industry. Background / Overview 2025...

2025 closed as a year in which information technology stopped being an incremental operating expense and instead became a strategic, capital‑intensive layer that reshaped energy‑industry planning, hiring, procurement and risk management. The short, widely circulated Top‑10 list by Yogi Schulz...

The autumn and winter of 2025 were defined less by a single headline outage than by a pattern: a string of failures across the world’s largest cloud and edge providers that repeatedly knocked consumer apps, enterprise systems and critical services offline. Those incidents exposed a shared...

Cloudflare’s move to run LLM inference at the edge — powered by a Rust engine called Infire and integrated with its global Workers AI platform — is more than a technical curiosity: it is a deliberate attempt to rewire the cost economics of AI inference by shifting how and where GPUs, CPUs, and...

Enterprise IT leaders choosing an industrial automation and control platform in 2025 face a familiar paradox: the technology that can deliver the most dramatic efficiency, safety, and sustainability gains is also the one that increases their attack surface, operational complexity, and...
