Apple now wants you to ‘notarize’ your software. This is a process where you upload your software to Apple’s server so it can be scanned and certified malware free. This will probably become compulsory at some point, even (especially?) if your software isn’t in the Apple app store. Apple says : Give users even more confidence in your software by submitting it to Apple to be notarized.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

America is built on the spirit of entrepreneurship. There are over 28 million small businesses nationwide, and a further 22 million that are solely operated. That’s a large number of businesses that contribute to the country’s economy. However, the number of businesses that fail within the first four years is a significant 50%, and out of the survivors, only a third will reach a decade.

An app that requires thousands of moves before you get what you need or a website with messy navigation are cut from the same cloth – the cloth of a bad user experience. Sure, we no longer need to use a command-line interface to interact with software. But it doesn’t mean that every modern digital product is the apex of user experience creation. A website or an app, no matter how functional, must be understood by a user.

It is perhaps inevitable that, at some point, commercial business owners will not see eye-to-eye with their peers. After all, entrepreneurs are hyper-focused on their business. This tendency is usually positive, but can be problematic when it encounters the same level of hyper-focus from another business owner. Two individuals, with very different – but equally valid – points of view can collide, and the consequences of such disputes can be extremely problematic for both parties.

When you have a small or medium-sized business (SMB), a very simple thought that crosses your mind is, “ Hackers will not come for my business. My page is protected.”. But wait! Are you really sure about that? Or, maybe you are thinking, “There is no such important data to steal.” Again you are wrong! Probably you are not in a mood to believe me but take a look at the stats.

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs. When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital. Multi-tenant analytics is NOT the primary use case with traditional data warehouses, causing data security challenges.

Negotiation is an art form. It requires interpersonal skills, a masterful control of language, a deep understanding of human emotion, and excellent listening skills. This is perhaps why a small company’s success often hinges on the quality of its salespeople. Find common ground. The very best salespeople don’t just push for what is best for them and their affiliates.
