Eye-opening @mitTechReview article on how LLMs actually work vs how they explain their reasoning.🧠 The math example was jaw-dropping - internal process completely different from explanation. With "Agentic AI" exploding, this research shows exactly why we need proper guardrails. Bottom line: understand these risks when implementing AI agents. Design appropriate oversight - not every task needs human review, but critical decisions do. #RiskManagement #NZTech #LLMs technologyreview.com/2025/03/27/111…
It's D Day. 4,427 Allied soldiers died today so that generations not even born, like mine, could grow up in freedom. @WWIIMemorial
Outstanding eCommerce research from @nzpost 👏 The "Shopper's Perspective" vs "Retailer's Perspective" analysis is essential reading for NZ SME tech leaders. Perfect strategic intelligence for Q2 planning - understanding both sides of digital customer experience. Well done @nzpost 🇳🇿 #NZTech #SMEStrategy nzpostbusinessiq.co.nz/annual-ecommer…
Why do NZ eCommerce customers get bombarded with redundant dispatch emails? The 3-eMail Problem signals deeper integration and system design issues—and here’s how smart SMEs can fix it. blog.fourfoursolutions.co.nz/the-3-email-pr…
This @TheRegister report highlights the often-overlooked security of dev infrastructure. Indian company KiranaPro's GitHub repo and AWS data were wiped, with the CEO suspecting a targeted attack. As NZ SMEs increasingly use DevOps toolchains, securing all parts of the development toolchain is critical. Supply chain attacks on toolchains can be catastrophic, as this case shows, destroying an entire business. Key lessons for NZ IT leaders: 🔐 Implement multi-person authorisation for critical deletions 💾 Maintain offline backups separate from cloud infrastructure 👥 Monitor privileged access for insider or external threats 🛡️ Use deletion protection settings 📋 Conduct regular access reviews for development systems Trusted infrastructure like dev tools, repos, and cloud admin is often the least scrutinised. Don't let your development environment become your weakest link. #NZBusiness #DevOps #CyberSecurity #NZSME theregister.com/2025/06/04/kir…

🔐 Think cybersecurity is just for big corporates? Even @VictoriasSecret gets breached. Your Kiwi SME faces the same threats with fewer resources. Trust NZ CERT's proven expertise to protect your business: ownyouronline.govt.nz #NZBusiness #Cybersecurity
Technical debt is like business debt:❌ Avoiding it entirely limits growth ✅ Strategic borrowing accelerates success ❌ Ignoring interest payments leads to crisis ✅ Smart management creates competitive advantage How top SMEs use it strategically 👇 blog.fourfoursolutions.co.nz/rethinking-tec…
Worth a read for NZ SME IT leaders 👇 Xero/NZIER research: $8.6B GDP opportunity through digital adoption. Every $1 spent returns $2.40-$3.10 with short payback periods. Time to accelerate. blog.xero.com/news-events/re… #NZBusiness
Unpopular opinion for NZ SMEs: Technical debt isn't your enemy—it's a strategic tool. Just like businesses use loans to grow faster than cash allows, smart software teams "borrow" against future development to deliver immediate value. The key? Being strategic about when and how much to take on. blog.fourfoursolutions.co.nz/rethinking-tec… #NZBusiness #TechConsulting
Looking forward to connecting with the Kiwi business community and sharing practical tech insights. 👋 #NZBusiness #TechConsulting
