AI & GPU compute
Audited 2025 figures show a company tripling revenue while burning cash faster than any startup ever has. The loss is only half the story. The other half is a loop of deals that turns the same dollars into growth at three companies at once, and a bill that has four ways of reaching you.
Security
Proton, the encrypted email company that sells itself on taking security seriously, had its CEO tell an employee that asking for a few days of security testing before shipping AI written code was “bullshit and loser thinking,” according to 404 Media. The CTO says about 90% of Proton’s code is now written by AI. I think the story matters less for what Proton did and more for the exact contradiction it exposes.
Linux & open source
For 30 years the reason you could not simply switch to Linux was the software. Photoshop, Office, the apps you needed and the file formats they locked you into. In October 2026 a single developer used Claude Code to rebuild Adobe’s core creative apps in Rust and gave them away. I think the moat that protected proprietary software just sprang a leak, and the legal fight over whether that is allowed is going to be the real story.
Developer tools
Cisco’s president gave a 27-year-old engineer unlimited AI tokens and 24 months to refactor 98% of the company’s legacy code, with 4 weeks to prove it can work at all. I think the headline number is a motivational target rather than an engineering estimate, and the more interesting story is what it says about who companies now trust with the keys.
