Timely session. Data quality is getting more important every day.
Heading to the airport in a few hours on my way to #apexworld26 in Ede. Current TSA lines in San Diego are 2 hours long. What they don't know is that I am British and I was born to queue. Hope to see you there.
Welcome to the club.
At least it’s a straight line 😀
Please read my latest post: Will AI Agents Replace the User Interface, or Redefine It?
My view: not exactly. But they will likely remove much of the page-heavy, manual interaction in today’s enterprise apps.

Something went wrong on Hashnode, and the original was deleted. Here is the new link: blog.cloudnueva.com/avoiding-the...
The spec had goals, features, guidance on approach, reusable objects, and some behavioral guides also.
Built an APEX “2nd brain” (APEX + PL/SQL + LLM + automations). It worked… until I kept asking Codex for “one more feature” and fell into the vibe-coding 🐇 🕳️
➡️ The Fix: stop, write a spec, rebuild with constraints.

Oracle APEX Social Sign-In logout often needs a Post-Logout URL to a public page. Since the URL changes across DEV/TEST/PROD, and APEX doesn’t allow runtime substitutions there, it usually becomes a manual deployment step.
➡️ This post shows a workaround

I've used AI for APEX and PL/SQL for a year, but this week something changed. ⚡ I generated 100s of lines of production-ready PL/SQL in one shot. It’s all about metadata, specs, and agent instructions. #orclAPEX #AI

After many years of building with an incredible team, we've found a partner that values people over margins, preserves culture, and thinks long-term.
Our brand stays. Our DNA stays. Our passion stays. But we're now part of something bigger.
way too many shows and movies leave obvious plot queues and reminders of what happened 10 minutes before. It’s painful to watch sometimes
