On Symfony2

SPF13

Disclaimer I’ve got a couple disclaimers in writing this. 1. I’m one of the primary authors of the Zoop Framework for PHP. It’s pretty much the first web framework for PHP dating back to 2001. In spite of it’s age it’s still quite relevant and in use by thousands worldwide. 2. I run engineering for OpenSky where we elected to build our ecommerce platform on the Symfony2 framework and have since become the 2nd largest contributors to it.

Narrative Science raises $6m to replace web copywriters with computers. How long until journalism is automated?

Trends in the Living Networks

The internet can be characterized very simply. Billions of people are looking for interesting and useful information, and millions of companies are trying to make money by people finding their content, through search engines and increasingly on social media. This has led to the rise of companies such as Demand Media, which last week listed on New York Stock Exchange to be valued at $1.5 billion , more than the New York Times.

Peak Performance: Continuous Testing & Evaluation of LLM-Based Applications

Speaker: Aarushi Kansal, AI Leader & Author and Tony Karrer, Founder & CTO at Aggregage

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability.

Lucid Ignorance and Project Process

Victus pro Scientia Opus -- Food for the Knowledge

This January, I learned three expressions related to my work that I want to share. This post is about the first of the three, “ lucid ignorance.” On January 12-13, I was fortunate to be able to attend Microsoft-sponsored training in the Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF).

In an article on CNBC titled The New King: Context! , Nicholas Scibetta of Ketchum has reviewed the shift from the dominance of content to the prominence of context, including a reference to my recent article on the rise of co

Finally I have an answer when people ask what I do! Visualization of our group’s business model

Trends in the Living Networks

For the last 15 years of my life post-employment I have struggled when people ask me what I do. More recently I have managed to crystallize a simple description of myself: Futurist and Entrepreneur. However that doesn’t explain the diversity of my companies’ activities, and how they fit together. In particular people are often confused by the relationship between our primary companies: Advanced Human Technologies , Future Exploration Network , and The Insight Exchange.

Trends in the Living Networks

I recently gave a presentation to an internal team tasked with re-envisaging the intranet for a large corporation. I was impressed that they had brought together around 40 managers and executives from across the company to spend two days thinking in a very open format about what internal communication could and should be like, and how to create that.

Trends in the Living Networks

The future of enterprise technology is a massively important theme, which impacts organizations, vendors, governments, and indeed society at large.
