​Canada has an innovation problem. More specifically, we have an innovation-to-commercialization problem. ​In my latest article, "My Mission: Fixing Canada's Innovation Problem," I dive into why we excel at invention but often fail at turning that IP into globally competitive companies. ​This is more than a passion project for me; it's a mission. I'd love to hear your thoughts. ​Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dkh7QPWz Chris Carder Chris Adams David K.

Uno Platform of Montreal just landed $3.5 million in convertible note funding for its enterprise developer platform. The platform boosts productivity by allowing developers to "code once," then publish across operating systems, IDEs, and form factors. It also includes an integration with popular design platform Figma, as well as "theming" and security tools. In a world of "adequate" vibe coding apps that "anyone" can develop, there is a need to support enterprise-grade developers and their productivity. Toyota, TradeZero, Cineplex, Air Canada, and others are on board. Uno is on to something.

Slides from my talk "PHP 150x Faster, Still Legacy Friendly!" at ConFoo.ca Montreal are online.                                                          I showed how to use FrankenPHP threads combined with a Go semaphore sliding window to dispatch any blocking PHP code as internal subrequests. True parallelism, no HTTP overhead, no rewrites needed: 300 tasks, 0.5s wall clock, 150x speedup.                                                            The key insight: don't rewrite your PHP, compose it. Your existing scripts stay exactly as they are. Add a thin orchestration layer on top using plain PHP generators — race, retry, parallel, throttle — all composing on just two primitives. The more code paths you compose into parallel execution, the faster your application becomes. Kudos to Kévin Dunglas, FrankenPHP rocks!  - Code: https://lnkd.in/drXr6_Yx  - Slides: https://lnkd.in/d4ANfuuK  #PHP #FrankenPHP #Concurrency #OpenSource

Canada’s decision to establish a new Minister of AI and Digital Innovation Evan Solomon is a bold and timely step toward shaping the future of responsible and technology leadership. It signals a national commitment to AI, digital competitiveness, and a more resilient economy. At IPS, we see this as a critical moment—not just for tech, but for Canada’s energy and industrial sectors. Our iEng AI platform is designed specifically for the process industry, helping companies optimize operations, reduce risk, and accelerate innovation.
