Commercetools: Headless Commerce, Headless Decisions, Jobless Employees
In short, Commercetools was one of the pioneers of “headless commerce”—a platform that lets companies build online stores via API for more flexibility. During the 2020-2022 e-commerce boom, business skyrocketed: companies rushed online, investors poured in billions, and growth seemed unstoppable.
But the market has shifted, and now Commercetools is cutting up to 20% of its workforce after failing to meet its own overly ambitious growth targets.
📉 What happened? 🔹 10% of employees were let go in a single day, with total layoffs reaching up to 20% in recent weeks. 🔹 Revenue isn’t growing, competition is heating up—Shopify is taking big clients, while TikTok and Temu are reshaping the game. 🔹 E-commerce is still expanding, just not at the crazy pace of 2020. Growth has slowed, and Commercetools is no longer riding the hype wave.
⚙ Who got cut? 🔹 Marketing & sales—because someone had to take the fall for missed targets. 🔹 HR & finance—apparently, there’s not much left to hire or count. 🔹 Developers & customer support—because who needs customers when you can cut costs?
🚀 What’s next? CEO Andrew Burton promises a "stronger future," but refuses to comment on IPO plans. He also admits their "ambitious goals were unrealistic"—a realization that, unfortunately, came after the layoffs.
💡 Moral of the story? The market shifts, but it’s always employees paying for management’s mistakes.

Photoshop on iPhone – and it's not a joke! 🎨📱
If you work with design, photography, or graphics, this is huge. Adobe has finally released a real Photoshop for iPhone – not some stripped-down companion app, but a fully functional version that works without a Creative Cloud subnoscription.
⚡ What’s exciting? ✅ Layers, masks, selection, retouching – things you never had on mobile before. ✅ AI-powered Firefly tools (Generative Fill, Expand) – useful, but controversial (designers will get it). ✅ Seamless Adobe sync – switch between iPhone, iPad, and desktop with ease.
💰 How much does it cost? ✔ Free – basic tools. ✔ Premium (£6.25/month or £55/year) – Magic Wand, Clone Stamp, and other pro features. ✔ If you already have Creative Cloud, you pay nothing.
Adobe says it’s now going mobile-first, so who knows? Maybe a full Illustrator in your pocket is next?

Sigma Just Made the Dream Camera – And It’s Not Apple! 📸🔥
Oh, right! We forgot to tell you about Sigma’s new camera. MMM… pure magic.
If Apple made a camera, it would probably look like this. But nope, this is Sigma – a full-metal body, 230GB built-in storage (no memory cards!), and a$2000 price tag .
💸 Buying or what?

Amazon Unleashes a Quantum Beast — Meet Ocelot ⚡️
Amazon and Caltech just introduced their latest quantum creation — the Ocelot chip. This isn’t just another piece of hardware, it’s a two-story silicon monster that uses 90% fewer resources on error correction than its quantum cousins. And if you didn’t know — quantum chips are basically error factories ☄️.
💻 Why should you care (especially if you’re into crypto)? Because quantum computing isn’t just nerd stuff — it’s a potential reset button for everything. From discovering new drugs ⚕️ to modeling entire economies 📊 — quantum machines could handle it all. And yes, they could also break today’s encryption like it’s a joke.
Right now, Ocelot joins Google’s Willow and Microsoft’s Majorana — all still lab pets 🧪. But every announcement like this brings the quantum future even closer ⏳.
❓ The question isn’t if commercial quantum computers will arrive — it’s whether crypto will evolve fast enough to survive them 🧩.
Ready for a world where your private keys aren’t so private anymore? 🚀

ChatGPT 4.5 — the smartest model that doesn’t actually think 🫠
OpenAI just dropped ChatGPT-4.5 — a model that knows more but understands less. It can’t really reason or handle deep logic, but it’s absolutely stuffed with data. Basically, a turbo-charged reference book.
✨ What’s the deal? 4.5 is better at recognizing speech patterns, picking up context, and stitching facts into smooth text. Writing articles, coding, solving practical tasks — that’s its thing.
OpenAI says they tried to make the chatbot warmer, more intuitive, and emotionally tuned — to the point that some media are already calling it a therapist replacement. Yeah, good luck telling a bot about your childhood trauma.
For now, only Pro users get access, with Plus and Team users joining next week. And in May, OpenAI promises the ultimate LLM — ChatGPT-5, combining all the knowledge plus actual reasoning.

Infinix Teases a Triple-Folding Phone — Let’s Hope It Becomes Real
Infinix has revealed the concept for Mini Tri-Fold ZERO — a smartphone that folds not once, but twice. Fully unfolded, it’s a long, narrow screen perfect for scrolling and browsing.
But the real fun starts when you fold it. 📱 Partially folded, it clips onto your bike as a navigator. Fully folded, it turns into a chest-mounted action camera.
It’s ambitious, it’s creative — and unfortunately, it’s still just a concept with no working prototype in sight. So for now, all we can do is hope, dream, and brace ourselves for the possibility that this clever idea might never leave the drawing board.

Dude, Alef actually made a flying electric car! Well… kinda ✈️
So there’s this California startup — Alef Aeronautics — and they just showed off something called the Model Zero. It’s a car that drives down the street like normal, then just takes off vertically — straight from the road. No runways, no special pads — just up and away!
⚙️ Inside, it’s got 8 hidden rotors that lift it off the ground. And once it’s in the air, the whole body rotates 90 degrees, turning the roof into a wing for proper flight.
On the road, it’s slow as hell — tops out at 25 mph — but in the air, they say it can fly up to 100 miles.
Here’s the wild part — they’re already taking pre-orders at $300k a pop, even though all they have right now is a lightweight test prototype. And let’s not even talk about how they’re gonna get this thing certified.
Bottom line — it’s a beautiful dream. Are we flying to work anytime soon? Probably not. But just imagine taking off from a traffic jam like a total legend.
