Computing power was becoming cheaper at an exponential rate, and what that meant was that we should work to create more powerful, flexible, and innovative …

Hallucinations Are a Feature, Not a Bug
One thing that becomes hard to ignore with generative AI once you get past the initial wave of amazement is their tendency to hallucinate. Inaccuracies in answers and artifacts in images reveal the AI’s true lack of understanding. Remember how much trouble they had generating hands early last year? Money and engineering effort are pouring …
Is Software Engineering Dead?
The question I get asked the most about Sublayer is “so do you think we won’t need programmers anymore?” There’s a lot baked into this question depending on who is asking. For the purposes of this post, I’ll focus on the software engineer, wondering what role they have to play when LLMs can write code …

It wasn’t a decision we decided to take on lightly – the first proof of concept as we were exploring the idea was actually integrated with Pivotal …
