it is cheap to run, not to learn](https://www.marcusoft.net/2026/08/not-cheap-to-learn.html) _2026-08-05 · Marcus Hammarberg · marcusoft.net - sharing is learning_ Since I started to see people use AI to build digital products something has always rubbed me the wrong way. It is like we are forgetting value, outcomes or impact and just keep clapping for the output.

And then another story where I was at trial before a judge.… ## [Looking back and ahead at BDO](https://www.accountingtoday.com/podcast/looking-back-and-ahead-at-bdo) _2026-06-22 · Daniel Hood · On the Air: Accounting Today podcasts_ On the eve of his retirement, outgoing BDO chief Wayne Berson looks back at major changes in the profession, and what he sees in its future. ## [Predicting the next 15 years in accounting](https://www.accountingtoday.com/podcast/predicting-the-next-15-years-in-accounting) _2026-06-15 · Daniel Hood · On the Air: Accounting Today podcasts_ Take a look at what the accountant and the accounting firm of the future will look like with AICPA chief Mark Koziel. ## [The past, present and future of accounting technology](https://www.accountingtoday.com/podcast/the-past-present-and-future-of-accounting-technology) _2026-06-08 · Daniel Hood · On the Air: Accounting Today podcasts_ Rene Lacerte shares his thoughts on how technology has shaped accounting over the past two decades, and what it will mean for the profession in the future. ## [Faster feedback and its implications](https://www.marcusoft.net/2026/06/faster-feedback-and-implications.html) _2026-06-01 · Marcus Hammarberg · marcusoft.net - sharing is learning_ I have been thinking a lot about faster feedback my entire life.

I have books worth of information in there, due to my bad memory. I knew it would pay off, someday.
