Banking Software? AKA a Tesla dashboard on a horse's stagecoach
I spent the week from 19 to 23 of January 2026, in the World Economic Forum (WEF), Davos Switzerland, where the world discusses the future of the global economy.

At times, the atmosphere resembled an Oscars ceremony, one overwhelmingly centered on Donald Trump. Much of the week was consumed by anticipation of his remarks, followed by exhaustive commentary dissecting every word of his speech. A central figure behind the s
