Today, the onus is on engineering teams to deliver results, increase the company’s capacity to win, and ultimately drive business growth. As companies adjust their strategies in the face of this […]
My personal term for the inexact nature of the messy, fuzzy world was muzzy. But then, in 1980, I acquired an Ohio Scientific desktop computer and found prompt, lasting relief. All its operations were built on a foundation of binary arithmetic, in which a 1 was always exactly a 1 and a 0 was a […]
