Maximise Potential

  Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative AI have become the cornerstone of technological innovation, reshaping industries and revolutionizing traditional business models. The software industry, in particular, has undergone a profound transformation driven by AI’s capabilities—enabling enhanced efficiencies, new growth opportunities, and disruptive change. This shift is so dramatic that even Andrej Karpathy, former Tesla AI Director and OpenAI co-founder, recently wrote that he has “never felt this much behind as a programmer” and that the profession is being “dramatically refactored” as AI takes over more of the coding work, urging engineers to master a new “programmable layer of abstraction” built around agents, prompts, tools, and integrations. In this article, I will explore how AI is redefining the software IT industry, along with recent examples illustrating its impact. AI is streamlining every phase of the software development lifecycle—from coding and debugging to testi...

  Happy holidays to everyone. It is that time of the year when most of us get some time off and we are usually on vacation. Of course it is a well-earned break. However, this could also be a time of some stress and over stimulation. A lot of us also go on vacations which is great but sometimes we need a vacation after the vacation. So, my aim with this article is to give simple suggestions to stay relaxed and enjoy the holidays. At the same time, I also share strategies which can reduce our stress levels and enjoy life more. Stress is one of the leading causes of depression and considering the pace of our lives we should pause and reevaluate our lives on a constant basis.

As Mahatma Gandhi said, “There is more to life than increasing its speed.” Here are some simple strategies to be relaxed, stay happy and enjoy life in general. Create white space  – What I mean by this is there ...

  When the dust settled and the urn was once again in Australian hands, one truth stood out like daylight: the gulf between Australia and England wasn’t about talent — it was about professionalism and respect for the fundamentals of Test cricket. This Ashes series has underlined what happens when one side commits to the basics with discipline, while the other assumes flair can substitute for foundation. They didn’t have a warm up game before any test match and no practice with the pink ball for the Brisbane test. Australia didn’t just outplay England; they out-prepared them. They approached every session, every spell, and every passage of play with the seriousness and structure that define world champions. England, on the other hand, appeared to gamble on aggression and “Bazball” bravado, believing they could defy Test cricket’s timeless principles. But in a format that rewards patience, precision, and mental resilience, shortcuts rarely succeed. Here are the factors that all of u...

  As we end 2025 it is a time to pause, reflect and review how 2025 has gone. The next step is to create a blueprint for your success in 2026. Success is a wonderful word that all of us want to be associated with. In my opinion everyone should define their success and it is for the individual to decide if they are successful or not. For example the French chef Bernard Loiseau would be a success by anyone’s standard. However he committed suicide because of a news report that hinted his restaurant may lose its 3 star status.  While setting high standards for our work and life is always a good sign, it is not good if we are never happy with what we achieve. This is why success requires a balance between striving for more and enjoying the current success.  I believe the recipe of success can be baked with the following ingredients. Here is my A - Z of Success to help you get to your best in 2026. A for Ambition: To achieve success you need a lot of ambition. The pe...
