The innovative age of Shadow IT is coming to an end - Disrupting Japan
The innovative age of Shadow IT is coming to an end - Disrupting Japan
Shadow IT has been responsible for more enterprise SaaS deployments and workflow innovation that any growth strategy we've seen in the last 15 years. And that 's all about to end. Today we sit down with Yasu Matsumoto, who stepped down as CEO of Raksul after leading them from founding to post-IPO success, to start Josys, a new startup helping enterprises put an end to shadow IT once and for all. Yasu explains why that the end of shadow IT is actually a good thing for everyone, why he decided to step down from his high-profile CEO role, and the future of SaaS sales and marketing. It's a great conversation, and I think you'll enjoy it.

Homebrew is great on Linux
Homebrew is great on Linux
I'm a strong believer in the next generation Linux desktop model - which splits what is typically one monolithic system into different layers. This has been great for us at Universal Blue because it allows us to reuse Fedora's OCI images to deliver a more reliable and customizable experience for

Postgres: the next generation. Investing in the next generation of committers.
PostgreSQL isn’t getting any younger. Which is fine – after all, databases generally improve with age. The platform is going from strength, and is a default choice for a big chunk of modern software development. But Postgres has been around for a while – it launched in 1986 – which has an implication for the

Strongly Typed API Operations
Strongly Typed API Operations
I was fascinated with the rise of JavaScript as a ubiquitous but loose client-side programming language in our browser, but then also the introduction of it on the server-side with Node.js. I see a lot of parallels between the ubiquity and utility of JavaScript, and the ubiquity and utility of web APIs. I am equally fascinated by the rise of TypeScript in this fast and loose reality, bringing more discipline to the JavaScript programming realm. Using TypeScript as part of my work around Spectral rules governing APIs has left me thinking more deeply about the potential of not just strongly typed APIs, but strongly typed API operations surrounding our APIs across the enterprise.
