Dear Corporate Sass Squad, Please Come Collect Your Loose Flock.
I have a growing, rather unpopular opinion about this whole work-from-anywhere culture, and perhaps I’m officially becoming the person I once promised myself I’d never become. But hear me out. Somewhere between the pandemic, hybrid working and the corporate world’s obsession with flexibility, we’ve collectively decided that absolutely every public space is now a satellite…
The Software Engineering Handbook (KeegzVerse Academy)
Hello world. Today I present my first self-published eBook. The publishing model is unique in that it’s completely free for anyone to use for personal enlightenment with an optional contribution via PayPal or purchase on the Amazon Kindle Store if you find value and would like to support TheKeegzVerse initiative. For-profit organisations are recommended to…
Actual Intelligence and the age of the corporate shit show
I’ve been exploring the practical uses of AI for various workflows, having gone through the leading tools. In my previous write ups, I’ve been open on the realities of what worked well and what didn’t, at least in my experience. Internally, this felt like my version of a self directed learning experience to re-position myself…
Why I Think AI Is Shifting More Software Development Capability In-House
A field report from three months in my own lab – a 90-day, R975 ($60) experiment, and what it changed my mind about. The blog is my lab notebook; this is a field note from it. In three months I ran an experiment on myself. Call it a self-made MBA. No cohort, no case studies,…
Gaming, SoCs, Supply Chain Optimisations – a Prediction
It’s 2026, and I’m starting to think the console wars were never really about consoles. I’m in my mid-thirties, watching gaming built around hardware and platforms. Some called it the console wars. Some called it competition. Either way, I’ve grown less fond of buying hardware for an exclusive these days. Look at the supply chains.…
What Would It Cost to Build a Private School? A Thought Experiment in Community-Led Education
Lately, I have been thinking about something that sounds absurd at first and then slowly starts feeling oddly practical: What would it actually cost to build a small private school? Not a prestige campus with rugby fields, blazer politics, marketing departments, and layers of administration. Something smaller. More intentional. A school for family friends, staff…
The Sculptor and the AI Developer
Three Months as a Former Developer, Product Person, and Accidental One-Man R&D Lab I have a confession to make. I have spent years around software while barely writing software. Not because I stopped caring about engineering. Quite the opposite. Like a lot of people who drift toward senior product, technical leadership, architecture decisions, escalations, delivery,…
The Synthesised Frontier: Closed Loops, Contested Supply Chains, and Where Consciousness Goes Next
One problem, many altitudes There is a single engineering problem driving the next century. On the lunar south pole, a future occupant will drink water that was originally their own sweat, breathe oxygen recovered from their own exhaled CO₂, and stay warm through a fourteen-day night using a reactor nobody can service. In rural Limpopo,…
The BS-Free Context on AI Development
Context: Skills and Intent My background sits across software engineering, product management, infrastructure operations, licensing models, and commercial delivery. I’ve operated close enough to the system to understand how things actually move when they leave the whiteboard: I wanted to step inside it, using my own constraints, to evaluate: What actually changes when AI becomes…
The Real AI Battleground Isn’t Silicon Valley. It’s Everywhere Else
There’s a kind of framing that modern technology tells very well. It tells you that the future is decided in boardrooms, venture rounds, and product launches. That the winners are determined by benchmarks, model performance, and enterprise contracts. That the most sophisticated product – cleanest, safest, most controlled-will inevitably win. It’s a compelling story. It’s…
Claude, Codex, and the Cost of Abstraction
There is a kind of marketing framing that modern technology tells very well. A story wrapped around a product so effectively that people stop asking the harder question beneath it. Not can this do something impressive? Almost all modern tools can. The real question is subtler, and far more dangerous: What kind of human does…
The Shifting Stack – Commentary on Infrastructure, Platforms, Software, AI, Geopolitics, and where the value moves next
There was a time when SaaS felt like the end state. You didn’t build. You subscribed. You didn’t worry about infrastructure. You didn’t think about uptime, or failover, or what happens when a data centre somewhere quietly goes down at 2am. You just assumed… someone, somewhere, had already figured it out. And to be fair,…
My thoughts on Codex
I’ve been a late bloomer to the agentic coding space. At this point, I’d call it a happy accident meeting curiosity, with maybe a bit of reskilling for the future. In most business circles, Claude is the topic of conversation, largely because of its enterprise focus and the way it approaches intellectual property concerns by…
The Vibe of Coding
There’s a particular feeling that comes with coding.Not the sterile version people imagine — lines of syntax and error logs — but the quiet, almost creative rhythm that emerges when an idea turns into something that works. I felt that again this weekend. After switching to Mac, there was one small thing I couldn’t find:…
Keegz Verse Agentic Coding
From zero to working prototype in just over two hours There are moments in technology where you can feel the shift happening in real time. Tonight felt like one of those moments. This wasn’t a planned experiment. It started as curiosity — a thought about what agentic AI coding actually feels like in practice rather…
