Excited to share that our own, Mitchel Sellers, Founder & CEO of IowaComputerGurus Inc., will be speaking at Nebraska.Code, one of the Midwest's premier software development conferences, taking place July 22-24 in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Mitchel's session, "Mental Health, Quality, and a Developer's Work/Life Balance," tackles a topic that doesn't get enough attention in our industry.

Technology moves fast. Expectations move faster. Developers, architects, consultants, managers, mentors, parents, and leaders are often balancing multiple roles while being asked to deliver more with fewer resources.

Drawing on nearly two decades as an independent consultant and his experience leading IowaComputerGurus, Mitchel will share practical lessons learned from both successes and setbacks. The session explores how mental health and work/life balance directly impact code quality, team morale, productivity, and long-term career success.

As a 17-time Microsoft MVP, international speaker, author, and technology leader, Mitchel has delivered more than 400 sessions worldwide. His focus remains the same: helping organizations and technology professionals build better software, stronger teams, and sustainable success.

If you're attending Nebraska Code this year, be sure to add this session to your schedule!

Supporting Make-A-Wish Iowa is something that holds a very special meaning for the IowaComputerGurus Inc. team.

This cause is deeply personal to CEO Mitchel Sellers and his wife, Lexi, after losing their daughter Nora to cancer. Organizations like Make-A-Wish provide hope, joy, and unforgettable experiences for children and families facing incredibly difficult journeys. That mission matters deeply to all of us.

We were honored to support an event that helped fund more than 33 wishes for children across Iowa. Seeing a community come together to create moments of happiness and lasting memories for these families is truly inspiring.

Thank you to everyone involved in making such an incredible impact. We’re proud to support an organization doing such meaningful work throughout our state. 💙

“Did I just blow $100 on a single task?”⁉️

That’s an actual concern developers are now raising as GitHub Copilot moves to usage-based billing.

Thought Leader and CEO Mitchel Sellers breaks down the implications in his article below.

What used to be a relatively predictable monthly AI expense is rapidly turning into token tracking, cost controls, usage monitoring, and potentially significant overages for heavy users.

Some developers are already seeing projected usage in the thousands per month in billing previews.

This is no longer:
“Just turn Copilot on.”

Now it’s:
⚠️ AI governance
⚠️ Prompt efficiency
⚠️ Budget controls
⚠️ Usage management
⚠️ Developer training

IowaComputerGurus helps organizations prepare for this new reality with:
✅ GitHub Copilot training
✅ AI cost management strategies
✅ Developer workflow optimization
✅ Microsoft & Azure consulting
✅ Practical AI adoption guidance

The companies that train their teams now will avoid getting blindsided later.

Contact IowaComputerGurus Inc. for customized training and pricing.

We have been in the honeymoon period with GitHub Copilot over the last 12 months, amazing functionality, huge improvements in productivity, and the ability to do things that are just amazing. That all came with some really, really low pricing, but that is all about to change, and the method of that....

The best applications aren’t built by chasing trends. They’re built by making the right technical tradeoffs for the business.

Monolith vs. microservices. Custom vs. low-code. Speed vs. scalability. Every architecture decision has downstream impact on cost, flexibility, performance, and growth.

The question isn’t “What’s modern?”

It’s “What’s right for where your business is going?”
