WRITING / THINKING
Ideas are useful when you can test them.
Aha Future Tech started as a place to explore AI and future technology. It is becoming something more personal: a record of what I’m learning about AI, engineering and leadership by actually trying things.
THE EDITORIAL IDEA
I’m not trying to become an AI news publisher. I’m interested in the gap between what AI promises and what actually happens when you put it into an engineering organization.
That means writing about experiments, observations, useful tools, failures, unexpected results and the questions they create.
WHAT YOU’LL FIND HERE
Five threads running through the writing.
AI & Engineering
How AI is changing the software development lifecycle, engineering workflows and the relationship between Product and Engineering.
AI Experiments
Things I’m actually building and trying — from AI-assisted requirements to products and organizational workflows.
Engineering Leadership
The people, structures, delivery practices and organizational choices that sit underneath successful technology.
Future of Work
What increasingly capable AI means for roles, collaboration, decision-making and the shape of engineering teams.
Technology & Business
The commercial and organizational context that determines whether technology creates useful outcomes.
THE FORMAT I’M MOVING TOWARDS
Discover → Experiment → Reflect → Share.
When an idea turns into something I can test, the writing becomes much more useful. I want the site to show the journey — not just the polished conclusion.
THE ARCHIVE
Explore the writing.
The existing Aha archive remains part of the story. Earlier pieces cover AI, LLMs, agents, Big Data, automation and the wider impact of technology. Newer writing will increasingly connect those subjects to practical engineering leadership.
