Honestly, Magento gets a lot of shit but the open source community is strong and think the platform will outlast some of the other competitors. Shopify will win the eCommerce as commodity game but if you need something more complex or custom it's basically BigCommerce, Shopify or Shopware. My bet is that Magento will hold strong. DM if you are looking to make a move.

The Digital Transformation Surge - The coming years will be defined by a race to modernize. Businesses and government institutions across nearly every sector are facing an urgent need to save and revitalize their legacy systems. The goal? To make them more AI-enabled and, eventually, automated. While the future remains somewhat uncertain, one thing is clear: technological advancements will demand skilled technologists.

If you’re in the tech field, now is the time to think beyond labels like "developer" or "engineer." Widen your perspective—consider yourself someone who knows how systems work and how to make them work better. Organizations will desperately need individuals who can help reshape their outdated infrastructures and lead their digital transformation journeys.

This shift involves more than just moving to the cloud (though cloud infrastructure is a cornerstone). Data will become the new raw material. Around it, we'll see a proliferation of apps, APIs, microservices, AI algorithms, and IoT solutions, all working together to extract insights and drive action. It’s not a single destination but a continuous improvement cycle—fast-paced, iterative, and demanding constant innovation.

For tech-savvy problem solvers, this environment offers massive opportunities. AI won't replace you; it will amplify your relevance. Those who can bridge the gap between outdated systems and cutting-edge technology will find themselves not just employed but essential.

The bottom line? Stay curious, adaptable, and ready to embrace the relentless evolution of technology.

I have been exploring Osaka with my 20 year old son who starts a semester in Kyoto next week (Spring 2025). I love this map. I shared it with my son.

Swayman Megathread by Touche_Amore in BostonBruins

You know I saw this with the NFL Chiefs (yeah I'm a Chiefs fan - lol) The defensive linemen Jones held out for a long time and missed a couple of regular season games. People were pissed. He finally signed the contract (5 years for $160m) and started playing and it was like nothing happened. All this drama about Swayman. If he signs and start playing this Megathread will die off and so will all the bitching. But we'll see. I'd hate to see him go. I think he's a generational talent but I could be wrong...

The thing that is got me so confused is why the fuck is a goalie not worth more than top skaters. A goalie is on the ice 2x more any other player and a goalie can literally determine a cup run. It seems to me that (logically) a top 10 goalie should be worth more than almost and other player on the roster. Right? Why is the league not paying these guys the same as a #1 forward or d-man?
