Sales of Elon Musk’s Tesla have plunged by approximately 40% in Europe over the first half of 2025, according to new data from the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA).

I’ve been working a lot with service line architecture recently. If you’re not familiar with that; it’s how business units such as IT, HR, or Sales bring services to clients, both internal and external. These structures often mirror team organization. Think of it as a hierarchy: IT at level one, Software Development and Ops at level two, and then individual teams, like: Software Team X or Ops Team Y, at level three.

Birth of 86-DOS – By Nemanja Trifunovic

Forty-five years ago, in April 1980, a young employee at Seattle Computer Products began developing a small disk operating system for the new Intel 8086-based board. Against all odds, this modest project evolved into software that would power the PC industry for over a decade: Microsoft’s MS-DOS. This is a story about development of 86-DOS, better known by its code name QDOS before it was sold to Microsoft.
