I've procrastinated on publishing on several themes over the last few years, but Post-Quantum Cryptography is the one that demanded it. The implications are too far-reaching, the timelines too compressed, and the industry conversation too critical to observe from the sidelines. I hope it sparks the kind of thinking this transition demands. #PostQuantumCryptography #PQC #CryptoAgility #Cybersecurity

Mike Bostock liked thisMike Bostock liked thisI have been posting lately after not for a really long time because I finally figured "What am I waiting for?". Over the past three years I have experienced a number of major medical issues and surgeries, and it has been my great faith in God that has kept me with a positive attitude through all of it. I have a wonderful family, loved ones, and even people who I don't know who have prayed for me throughout everything. I read here every day about the stress people are having to deal with looking for a position because they are out of work or looking for a better position and all other things work-related. While all of that, of course, is so incredibly important, I heard something when I was going through my medical issues and it has stuck with me. It is something I always consider every single day when I thank God for another day of life and I think it is something that we should all think about every day. It is just a very simple, but powerful phrase. "Tomorrow is not promised to any of us." I'm sure many of you, like me, have experienced having someone dear to you there one day but gone the next. Did you tell them how you felt about them the last time you were together or talked? Did you tell them that you love them if that is how you felt? If not, do you ever have regrets that you did not? All I am trying to say is that no matter how busy you are with anything career-related, ALWAYS take the time every day to let the people you love and care about know how you feel about them because you might not get the chance tomorrow... and pray that God will always watch over them and take care of them. Take care and God bless.

Next week, John will join WEKA's Shimon Ben-David to explore how modern AI factories must evolve to support high-throughput inference, agentic workloads, and enterprise-scale deployments — without introducing new bottlenecks. They'll dive into how NVIDIA AI solutions combined with NeuralMesh help keep GPUs fully utilized while protecting long-term ROI. 🎟️ Secure your spot: https://weka.ly/407yDso

NetApp's Q3 FY2026 results offer a revealing detail worth noting. The company reported record all-flash array revenue, attributing it to constraints on power and density driven by AI workloads in data centres. This aligns with what many in FinOps have observed: enterprises carry a substantial, often hidden expense even before running their first AI model. The costs for compute resources like GPUs and tokens represent only part of the picture. The greater expense lies in the infrastructure side of AI. 💡 Industry analysis suggests this "infrastructure tax" can increase AI budgets by 75% to over 130%. For example, a model and GPU budget of $1 million could realistically translate to $1.75 million to $2.35 million once storage upgrades, data pipeline rewiring, and power and cooling improvements are included. 🤔 Boards should be asking what portion of AI spend goes to building and maintaining the underlying data platform versus actual model experimentation, and whether underfunding the platform is creating costly bottlenecks. 💰 Context is critical. Well-funded tech firms can weather this additional cost, while organisations led by cautious CFOs, particularly in low-margin sectors like retail, may find cloud-based AI rentals a more practical option than large upfront investments. This perspective reframes AI budgeting as a strategic, top-down decision rather than just a line-item for individual projects. Without a robust data foundation, isolated AI trials risk leading straight to bill shock. The cloud remains a useful environment for experimentation, enabling teams to validate concepts before investing heavily in infrastructure. More importantly, the conversation must move beyond simply counting GPU hours and token prices to include quantifying data readiness and infrastructure debt. Reflect on how much of your AI budget is actually consumed by those hidden infrastructure costs. AI first draft, fine tuning by me.
