From Logic to Linear Algebra: How AI is Rewiring the Computer
For decades, computers were built for logic -- branching decisions, compilers, databases. But AI flipped the script: today's machines are being rebuilt for one thing above all else -- multiplying matrices at massive scale
Why Every Tech Org Needs an Internal API Map
Software Engineering is a 75 year old field. The idea of "API" has helped the field grow all this time. In the future, with AI, the number of APIs are going to explode. How are we as a field going to modernize?
