We believe that we could charge for our news, analysis, and technical content, but we feel that we can do the most good for the largest number of IT professionals by giving our content away in advertising-supported electronic publications. In this manner, we also help support the OS/400, Linux, Windows, Unix, and mainframe ecosystems that are comprised of thousands of vendors who are similarly trying to participate in the IT ecosystem, to make it a better place and more resilient in absorbing change. If the five decades of the computer business has taught us anything, it is that we are all in this together. Source

Guru: Finding Data In The Forest – Exploring Three-Part Naming In SQL Anyone who has spent time foraging for mushrooms knows that location matters. A chanterelle found in the Pacific Northwest is not the same as one discovered in the hardwood forests of the Midwest. Experienced foragers do not simply note what they found. They record exactly where they found it: the region, the forest, and the specific location. Context matters. The same is true in SQL.

AI Is Not Just For Developers, It Is For Everyone At Your Company June 22, 2026 Alan Ashley I’m not a developer. Let me say that upfront, because it matters when I say the things I’m about to say. I’ve always had ideas that I could put forth to somebody who can code. But now, because of AI, I can ask it to do things that I can verbally explain, and it can create what I am asking for. That’s one of the reasons I’m so excited about GenAI.

Former IBMer’s New Book Puts The Midrange In The Spotlight June 22, 2026 Alex Woodie Over the years, there have been an untold number of books written about IBM and its computing legacy. (Our founding editor, TPM, has most of them in his library.) But very few, if any, of them focus much time on the line of midrange servers that came out of Rochester, Minnesota, including the AS/400, which turned 38 years young yesterday.

Have You Tried To Buy A Server Lately? If you are trying to get new servers for you company, you better brace yourself for some very serious sticker shock. It’s crazy town out there. The GenAI boom has gone from chemical explosions to nuclear ones, and the hyperscalers, cloud builders, and now the AI model builders are ponying up huge sums for AI systems, driving the total market to an expected $330 billion this year.

While the Altman family slept, he lit a Molotov cocktail and threw it at the gate in Altman’s driveway setting it ablaze.

Guru: Single Threading A Program Execution June 15, 2026 Chris Ringer A paceline in cycling is a formation where all the cyclists ride in a single file line and the lead bike is pulling the group along as everyone else is drafting behind. Eventually the lead bike will drift to the side and to the back of the line, and the next bike will take the lead for the group. If a spirited cyclist leaves the paceline and goes alone, all the aerodynamic benefits of drafting are lost.

GenAI Is The Death Of Deterministic Project Budgeting Like many of you in the IBM i community, we have been treading the AI waters for a couple of years now, starting with small proof-of-concept applications such as chatbots but progressing to far more advanced and complex code-to-AI interfaces. One such project leveraged AI for recurring Jaccard similarity index processing over large sets of business data.

IBM i PTF Guide, Volume 28, Number 21 June 15, 2026 Doug Bidwell The flow of security vulnerabilities and PTF patches has been kind of spotty for the past several weeks. Which is good, because we were in transit across the United States. We have successfully relocated from California to Pennsylvania, and are settling in. We are almost unpacked, and my Network Operations Center, or NOC, is coming together.
