Are AI Tools Actually Improving Developer Experience? (Experts Cut Through the Hype)

AI tools are spreading across the entire software development lifecycle - but are they actually making developers more productive, or just adding noise? In this panel from Context Conference, Najla Elmachtoub (Squadformers) moderates a sharp, no-fluff conversation with Nathen Harvey (Google, DORA program), Bill Harding (GitClear), and Jeremy Castile (GitKraken) on what's really working when it comes to AI and developer experience.

Telemetry Talks ep. 5 - OpenTelemetry in the AI agents era

Telemetry Talks explores how OpenTelemetry’s CNCF graduation arrives at a pivotal moment for AI-powered development. Together with Alex Marshalov, we dive into vibe coding, AI agents, and the growing need for observability in GenAI systems — from prompts and token usage to reasoning chains and distributed traces — using the VictoriaMetrics stack and OpenTelemetry as the foundation for understanding the next generation of autonomous software.

From Telemetry to Shared Understanding: Why Operations Teams Need Better Visual Incident Notes

Modern operations teams are rarely short on data. A production incident can generate thousands of log lines, multiple dashboards, traces across several services, deployment events, alerts, chat messages, and customer reports. The harder problem is turning that data into shared understanding quickly enough for people to act.

Why Cloud Spending Keeps Rising Across the Financial Sector

Financial institutions have spent years modernizing their technology infrastructure, but cloud adoption continues to accelerate. From global banks to fintech startups, organizations across the financial sector are increasing their cloud budgets as they look for greater flexibility, efficiency, and access to advanced technologies.

AI pricing explained: what AI actually costs and how providers charge for it in 2026

AI pricing covers the cost structures and billing models providers use to charge for AI products: per-token APIs (GPT-4o at $2.50/1M input tokens), per-seat subscriptions (Copilot at $30/user/month), per-conversation billing (Agentforce at $2/conversation), and consumption-based GPU compute (H100 instances at $55.04/hour). There is no standard. The total AI cost is almost always higher than the sticker price.

The bottleneck has moved. AI is rewriting the Software Development Lifecycle

If you've read our previous piece on the 8 stages of AI engineering maturity, you know where your team sits. Turns out adopting AI is the easy part; adapting to its consequences is where most organizations struggle. For more than a decade, software organizations optimized around a single assumption: implementation capacity was scarce.

The Godfather of AI Ready Data Centers | OCOLO CEO & Founder Tony Rossabi
