Point of view from the engineering floor — architecture, mobile, and agentic AI.https://datanation.com/en-ushttps://datanation.com/insights/the-40-percent-problem/https://datanation.com/insights/the-40-percent-problem/Gartner says more than 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by the end of 2027. The reason isn't the models — it's the architecture underneath them. Here's the order we engage every project in, and why.Sun, 17 May 2026 00:00:00 GMTAgentsDatanationhttps://datanation.com/insights/mcp-and-the-agentic-engineering-job/https://datanation.com/insights/mcp-and-the-agentic-engineering-job/Anthropic donated MCP to the Linux Foundation in 2025. By early 2026, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and AWS all support it; 64% of enterprises with 250+ AI engineers run their own internal MCP servers. Here's what that means for how agentic systems get built — and why the asset at the end of the project is no longer the agent code.Fri, 15 May 2026 00:00:00 GMTAgentsDatanationhttps://datanation.com/insights/snowflake-vs-databricks-2026/https://datanation.com/insights/snowflake-vs-databricks-2026/Snowflake and Databricks look more alike in 2026 than ever — both support Iceberg, both have SQL warehouses, both ship AI/agentic tooling. So when does each win? Five dimensions that actually differ, four scenarios where the verdict is clear, and one unfashionable opinion about running both.Sun, 10 May 2026 00:00:00 GMTCloud & DataDatanationhttps://datanation.com/insights/what-we-learned-building-queuehamster/https://datanation.com/insights/what-we-learned-building-queuehamster/QueueHamster is the first product Datanation has shipped under our own name — a virtual queue management SaaS for independent service businesses, live in production since May 2026.
