AI speeds up prototyping, but teams still need to distinguish decisions from assumptions
Figma’s Designer Advocate argued that AI can make prototypes look finished too early, which can hide dangerous assumptions.
Google DeepMind: AI’s Next Step Is Learning From Its Own Experience
We’re waiting for the next big AI leap - systems learning from their own experience rather than just human data - and at Infobip Shift, Google DeepMind’s Benoit Schillings said that’s exactly where the field is headed.
MongoDB: One write, two logs
At 55,000 operations per second across a 20 TB sharded cluster, you stop theorizing about databases and start reading their source code.
OpenAI Says the Real Work in AI Coding Is Building the System Around It
Infobip Shift 2026 is officially open, and OpenAI’s Luis Velasco said the real work now is bringing together the data, process, and systems agents need to do the job well and keep improving.
AI agents need their own identity and least-privilege access
As infrastructure gets more complex, "inside the network" is no longer enough. Users, devices, and AI agents need their own identity and only the access they need.
You Should Bring Your Ops to Slack
We're burning thousands of dollars on AI conversations that should've been a single slash command.
