When Will We See the First $1 Billion Company Run by a Single Individual?

It’s only a matter of time. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in 2024 that he thought this could be achieved by the end of 2026. Personally, I feel this is a little optimistic; however, based on the evidence I’ve seen, it won’t be long after that.

Signals Is Lighting Up the Future of On-Call: Eight (Yes, 8!) New Features Just Released

We’re going beyond notifications — and building the most powerful, flexible, and team-first on-call experience on the market. When we launched Signals, it was because alerting and on-call desperately needed a reset. Legacy tools hadn’t evolved with the way modern teams work — they were individual-centric, inflexible, and wildly overpriced. Signals changed that.

Do You Know How Many IPs Your CIDR Block Really Has? Understanding Network Capacity and Allocation

Many people use CIDR blocks every day without knowing exactly how many IP addresses they actually have. A CIDR block like /24 gives exactly 256 possible IP addresses, while a /29 block gives 8, and each size gives a different number you can count on for planning.

Getting to the Zero Engineers Code Development Moment

The software world is inching rapidly toward an era once thought impossible: a time when no engineers are needed to write code. Not because software will disappear, but because the tools writing the code will be intelligent, autonomous, and capable of reasoning, generating, and deploying entirely on their own.
