- Back in the studio for the next episode of Sequence. 🎙️ AI is changing how we work. It is also changing what we need to learn. 💡 Our next guest sees both sides: in business and in the classroom. The conversation is coming soon. 🎧
- An application can work perfectly while hiding serious problems. ⚠️ That is the risk Sydney De Clercq sees in vibe coding. You describe what you want. AI builds it. As long as the result works, it is easy to keep adding features. But each addition makes the application more complex. Until something breaks that AI can no longer fix. By then, you may discover: → Security weaknesses you did not know were there → Code that has become difficult to maintain For Sydney, this is where a developer’s experience matters. Thinking through
- A competitive shooter and an IT project have exactly one thing in common. 🎮 Communication. ⚡ Sydney De Clercq played Overwatch at semi-pro level, as tank and shot caller. The job was to keep five people on the same page while everything moved. A few seconds to decide what the team does in the fight arriving 5 to 10 seconds later. He is now Product Manager at DNA Solutions. The decisions are no longer made to the second. The information still has to reach everyone at once. What carried over: → Real-time information management →
- Should everything be handed over to AI? 🤖 Sydney De Clercq says no. ⚠️ He uses it at every stage of his projects. But one category of decisions never gets delegated. He points to a case that went around: an AI that wiped an entire database. A human had granted the permission without reading what he was granting. The risk isn't that AI gets it wrong. It's that we hand over the rights without looking. What he keeps for himself: → The initial thinking behind the project → The architecture decisions AI executes fast. It doesn't
- AI is an expert at your side at all times, on any subject". 🎧 Some decisions still can't be handed over. That's where Sydney De Clercq starts, in the first episode of Sequence. He uses AI at every stage of his projects. It moves faster than any human, but it isn't consistent. Nine times out of ten the output holds, and the tenth time it's made up. So he keeps two things for himself: → The initial thinking behind the project → The early technical choices ⚠️ Without them, when a project breaks, no one knows why. He points to the
- What do translation, code and Product Management have in common? More than you might think. For the first episode of Sequence, we sat down with Sydney De Clercq to talk about his journey from tourism and translation to Product Management. His career changed on paper. But the way he approaches problems remained surprisingly consistent. 💻 Code became another language. 💬 Understanding a client meant reading between the lines. 🧭 Changing careers was less about starting over than recognising the skills that were already there. We
- AI is rarely the most expensive line in an AI project. 📈 Legacy integration is. 53% of executives say legacy integration derailed their AI outcomes (IBM Institute for Business Value, 2025). The data exists. But it sits across systems that were never built to talk to each other. So the first months are spent connecting them, before any model produces anything useful. 💸 That debt has a price: → Up to 40% of the technology estate for CIOs surveyed by McKinsey → Around 20% extra on every project, just to work around it When AI and
- We’re working on something new 🎙️ A project about tech, the challenges behind it, and the people who solve them. We want to look beyond the technology itself and talk about what really happens when ideas meet real-world challenges. More soon
