They focused on stabilizing their ERP migration to the cloud, modernizing a few key customer-facing apps, and tightening security. The CIO’s position on generative AI was clear: “We’ll get there, but not this year. We’re not ready.” On paper,

From autonomous agents to vibe coding, 2025 was the year generative AI stopped being theoretical and started doing real work—with a little fun along the way.
