Grady Booch explores the intersection of computing, what it means to be human, and the evolution of intelligence in the 21st century.
Cloud-based quantum computing lets startups compete with Goliaths
Once out of reach for smaller companies, quantum computing services level the playing field. Providers offer access, development kits, and training at more affordable prices.
Avoiding vendor lock-in and the data gravity trap
One of the primary reasons companies fail to innovate is that they are locked into a specific vendor’s technology. Watch out for these pitfalls.
AI still requires human expertise
AI generates a lot of answers and saves a lot of time, but it’s too often incomplete or untrustworthy.
