How big is your problem if your company (or country) suffers the same fate? Or your webshop? And what if your competitor can keep working while you can't? How big is your problem if your trade secrets — such as designs and ongoing contract negotiations — end up with your American competitor?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[No matter how extensive the hack, people aren&#8217;t really worried or angry about it. Why? They can&#8217;t be unaware, even if it&#8217;s being extensively reported to LUBACH. Is it because clients are jaded and think it is business as usual?This is NOT business as usual! For anyone professionally involved with IT and cloud technologically, it&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[But we have always done it this way! This is the way to kill change and innovation, Yet, by listening well, this does not need to be the case! For a long time, my knee-jerk reaction was, &#8220;If you don&#8217;t want to change anything, don&#8217;t hire me.&#8221; That&#8217;s still a truism. But usually, that is&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A witty statement in doesn&#8217;t prove anything. But in this case, he does have a point. AI can not replace a developer (or architect, or&#8230; or&#8230;) as long as the demand-side remains so vague and unclear in expressing requirements. This is precisely why many outsourcing projects (including outsourcing to India) have failed. People are very&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It is becoming increasingly clear to more and more people that we can not afford to rely on American clouds for critical systems. Bert Hubert has clearly listed these dependencies. For senior managers who do not yet see this as a problem, that will become apparent soon enough. It just is a matter of time&#8230;]]></description>
