In the rapidly evolving landscape of technology, we are forced to ask ourselves a difficult question: in one word, what human skill is the most crucial in the age of AI?

As we're heading into 2026, businesses must prepare for a future where humans and machines collaborate rather than compete. But with AI becoming exponentially better, why should humans keep learning at all?

AI can write code in a few hours, but understanding and security are not as fast. This lightweight experiment revealed how AI-based software development can produce serious vulnerabilities if good practices are not followed - and why the role of humans as code understanders is still invaluable.

There is a significant focus on accessibility, and it is seen as an equally important part of application development as any other aspect of the development process. Therefore, as a developer passionate about accessibility, it has been great to be involved in building Otava's new digital learning platform. Read the blog to learn more about how accessibility has been built into the development of Otava's services.

Every coder recognises the risk of relying on something - a third-party library, a ready-made solution or even a colleague's recommendation - that you don't fully understand, due to the rush, pressure and your own high standards. Attending the annual AWS re:Invent technology conference in Las Vegas really made me realize my responsibility as a developer when using AI-generated code.

"As coders and customers, are we sufficiently aware of the race between AI and security in software development? Do we recognize the risks of the rush and the ever-increasing pace?"

Planning and preparing digital projects is always a particularly challenging and time-consuming process. Complexities and solutions that require strong technical expertise are the source of many headaches, and a sense of uncertainty creeps into the buying process. At its worst, the process is heated by the worst poison of all - haste. How to choose the right partner for your digital development project? What external expertise is needed? What will it all cost?

Have you noticed how some team members not only perform the tasks assigned to them, but bring real value to the table, raising the performance level of the whole team? Renowned researcher and management consultant Liz Wiseman calls these individuals 'Impact Players'. Delving deeper into the idea of the 'Impact Player', we identified five situations that are also common in IT development and decided to tackle these situations from the perspective of the Kipinä Senior Tech Leadership model.

Have you noticed that when discussing data, the conversation quickly turns to typical challenges such as data quality, architecture or utilization - rather than the opportunities it offers? We put together a list of common challenges and alternative ideas to help us move our customers towards a culture where data conversations focus on the true competitive advantage of data and its smooth exploitation against the backdrop of AI, rather than on problems.

Building a software is difficult. Yet many people think that coding is just coding, or that the hourly rate of two IT consultants automatically means the same quality. But experience has taught us what it takes to take basic chemistry to the top. That's what this article is all about!

Technology is evolving faster than ever before, while IT challenges themselves are becoming increasingly complex. Read on and find out how to overcome the most common challenges in the IT environment to pave the way for a more sustainable way for technology development.

The Code Philosophy Day, initiated by Kipinä experts, took place in January and brought together half of Kipinä to discuss the basics of programming. The aim was to reflect on the hallmarks of good code that everyone could sign up to, and that would also be useful to customers and other industry co-thinkers.

"The work will definitely change a lot in the consultancy business. And in this respect, humanity is a hard currency." Read how Mikael, a long-time Kipinä professional, sees the digital transformation and his own role in it.

As team entrepreneurs, we can inspire all the companies around us to accelerate their digital development even further and take a stronger ownership. If companies really invest in software development, in the big picture it will increase job opportunities and open up career opportunities for juniors.

Together, Kipinä and Eezy set out to build digital solutions that enable an environment where systems and processes work.
