And while we’re doing that, some of us catch and train Pokemon over lunch; some of us play D'n'D at the office on weekends; some of us drink fine beers while discussing the nature of the universe and listening to 80s synth-pop. We don’t really believe in mixing work and play. That’s because most of the time, it really doesn’t feel like work. Specialties

AI makes software development faster, but speed without deep domain expertise is just a faster route to costly mistakes.

AI is great at producing answers that look convincing, but it lacks the human context, regulatory understanding, and instincts required to build what actually counts.

Mastery is knowing what not to build.

AI shouldn’t just make the old way of doing things faster.

That was one of the big takeaways from today’s AWS Summit South Africa at Gallagher Convention Centre, where our Customer Success team spent the day exploring what’s next in AI, cloud and banking.

In the Next Gen Banking and AI session, Robert Benvenuti from Absa spoke about moving beyond automating existing processes towards designing entirely new, AI-first ways of banking.

And with Standard Bank and FNB already adopting AWS solutions such as Bedrock and Kiro, it’s clear the conversation has moved well beyond “should we use AI?”

The more interesting question is: what could we build if we designed for AI from the start?

Our team is heading back with a lot to unpack. 🐇

Do you agree with this? 🤔

People are overwhelmed with information these days. They have to decide what deserves their focus and ignore the rest.

At Retro, we build every project with the user in mind from start to finish. Our interfaces are designed to do most of the teaching, so users don’t have to face a tutorial.

Still spending hours turning JIRA data into executive reports?

A major South African bank used AI to automate sprint reporting and flag delivery risks earlier, without changing its existing tech stack.

✅ Less manual reporting.
✅ More visibility.
✅ Faster decisions.

See how the solution worked in our latest case study.

Facts. 🐰
A mentor can guide you, challenge you and share what they’ve learned. But they can’t do the work for you.
You have to be willing to listen, learn and put in the effort.
Because the biggest part of building your career? That’s still up to you.

At Retro, we provide training for both mentors and mentees to ensure everyone understands the role they play and how to get the most out of the mentorship experience.

Design often focuses too much on looks.
Hours get spent crafting a beautiful dashboard, only for users to immediately look past the aesthetic and ask for the Excel export button.

It is a tough reality check for product design.

The lesson is simple. Stop designing for admiration. Start designing for behavior.
Pretty is good. Useful is better.
