Migrate to the Cloud

by Frans Lytzen | 21/10/2021

I gave a talk aimed at CTO's and technical decision-makers at a Leaders in Tech meetup in Reading in September 2019. I realised I hadn't posted about it before, but I have shared the video many times, and it continues to hit home with technical decision-makers, whether you are already in the Cloud or still planning to move - and whichever Cloud platform you prefer.

The subjects I cover are relevant not only for migrating to the Cloud but also as a general guide for thinking about Cloud development and how it differs from on-prem or co-lo.

  • Will a move to the Cloud jeopardise or improve my compliance and security stance?

  • Is it actually cheaper or more expensive than on-premise? What are the most common mistakes people make when moving to the Cloud?

  • Should I just replicate my on-premise setup in the Cloud - or should I rewrite everything from scratch?

AI Isn’t Magic: Why Predictive Accuracy Can Be Misleading

by Frans Lytzen | 15/04/2025

One of the biggest misconceptions in AI today is how well it can actually predict things – especially things that are rare. This is most directly applicable to Machine Learning (as they are just statistical models) but the same principle applies to LLMs. The fundamental problem is the same and AI is not magic. In reality, AI’s predictive power is more complicated. One of the key challenges? False positives—incorrect detections that can significantly undermine the value of AI-driven decision-making. Let’s explore why this happens and how businesses can better understand AI’s limitations.
