With Prairie Dev Con (PrDC) 2026 complete, there was a clear theme in everything I managed to see and share—the future of software development is agentic. This doesn't necessarily mean it's all "doom and gloom," but rather an evolution has taken hold in our industry.
Sometimes looking back at your favourite games, you find things you overlooked or had forgotten over time. Final Fantasy VI is still great, but not as great as I remembered.
AI is everywhere—but its value depends on who you ask. This fast-paced panel brings together three perspectives: a small business owner, a public sector CIO, and a startup investor. Each faces different incentives, constraints, and risks—and each sees AI very differently.

I stepped away from blogging thinking that the problem was that my Eleventy (11ty) setup and continually tinkering with it was keeping me away from blogging. So, to make it "easier" I spent a couple of months worth of my B-time moving my website over to Wordpress site.
