From Code to Blueprint: A Coder’s Pivot to Baby Blue-Collar Life

He pursued in-person networking after exploring multiple trades, accepts a roughly 30% pay cut and a return to office work with some site visits, and faces childcare challenges, but feels relieved and has no plans to return to tech, convinced AI will continue to reshape programming roles.

Accenture Bets on End-to-End OT Cybersecurity with Dragos-RunZero-NetRise Deal

Accenture plans to acquire a majority stake in Dragos and 100% of runZero and NetRise for about $4.175 billion to create a unified, end-to-end OT cybersecurity platform. By combining Dragos’ OT threat detection with runZero’s exposure assessment and NetRise’s software-supply-chain and firmware visibility, the deal aims to secure the extended OT (xOT) environment against accelerating AI-driven threats and geopolitical risks. Dragos will operate as an independent unit, led by its co-founder CEO, and Accenture will leverage its relationships to scale adoption. Closing is expected in Aug–Sep 2026, with the trio projected to generate ~ $208 million in annual recurring revenue by mid-2026 and to be accretive to EPS and free cash flow over time.
