8th Light’s Post

Ever seen Todd's chair pants from the show Jury Duty? A pair of pants that let the wearer sit anywhere, but created more problems than they solved. Sound familiar? 8th Light Pierce Edmiston draws parallels between Todd's chair pants and bold claims about AI replacing software engineers. The idea of never writing code again sounds enticing, but is it addressing the right challenge? Pierce explains why in his view, we're still in the "chair pants era" of AI-assisted coding. #AI #AIAssistedCoding #SoftwareDevelopment https://hubs.la/Q02P0Y3V0

Wondering how enterprises—big or small—are tapping into the potential of white-label solutions? While white-label websites are well-known, the real game-changer could be white-label mobile apps.

AI isn't a plug-and-play solution. The truth? It requires careful planning and integration, an investment in quality data collection, and the use of human intuition and creativity. In reality, it's a partnership! 8th Light head of design Jon Wettersten shares some thoughts to keep in mind when designing AI products: How do we keep humans at the center of AI development? What are the implications for individuals, organizations, and the environment? Do we have enough information to make the right decisions? #AI #ProductDesign #AIProduct

Legacy systems are the unsung heroes of many organizations, quietly powering daily operations for years — if not decades. Yet, discussions about them often focus on the challenges they bring: outdated APIs, integration headaches, security vulnerabilities, and rising maintenance costs. How about a shift in perspective? Brad Ediger outlines five strategies to help organizations modernize their systems while preserving the inherent value of these time-tested technologies. #SoftwareModernization #LegacySystems #AgileDevelopment https://hubs.la/Q02MKLNq0
