Notes on building enterprise software.

  • Commerce Beyond the storefront: what commerce infrastructure looks like at scale B2B ordering, payments, inventory and logistics rarely live in one place. Here’s how the pieces actually fit together, and where I’ve watched that fall apart. Ali Sichone · 27 Jul 2026
  • Engineering Engineering for scale: what enterprise platforms actually need Scale gets blamed on traffic. In enterprise and government platforms, the harder problem is almost always organisational. Ali Sichone · 27 Jul 2026
  • Strategy If AI can write code, what are you actually paying an engineering partner for? A fair question, and one I’d rather answer directly than pretend nobody’s asking it. Ali Sichone · 27 Jul 2026
  • Public Sector From procurement to production: what public-sector delivery gets wrong Government software projects don’t usually fail on technology. They fail on the handoff between decision-makers and delivery teams. Ali Sichone · 27 Jul 2026
