The internet is “decentralized”… until one cloud provider has a bad day. This time on DevOps Accents, Leo, Pablo, and Kirill break down where decentralization actually exists, where we’ve centralized by convenience, and why outages feel inevitable in today’s cloud-driven world. In this episode:

• What “decentralized internet” really means — protocols vs. reality
• Why major outages (Cloudflare, AWS, DNS) expose hidden centralization
• Single points of failure: clouds, CDNs, certificate authorities, and power grids
• From infrastructure to geopolitics: how political borders affect the internet
• Disaster recovery trade-offs: cost, downtime, and realistic expectations for teams
• Practical advice: how much resilience is enough — and what not to blindly trust

AI now codes faster than most engineers but it also confidently makes stuff up. The “AI made me a 10x dev” story sounds great online, yet many AI-driven projects quietly collapse, and teams pretend they’re not using it. The real value isn’t writing code anymore; it’s steering AI, setting boundaries, and catching its mistakes. Without strong code review, AI becomes a liability. With it, it’s a massive accelerator. The gap is widening fast: structured AI teams are flying ahead, resistant ones are stuck. Today we’re breaking down the real wins, failures, and what coding actually looks like in 2026. In this episode:

• Our experiences with AI coding assistants;
• How to do it wrong and how to do it right;
• Context engineering: beyond prompt engineering;
• The importance of tooling around the model;
• How to implement this for your team and not break everything.
