Adam Oliner, co-founder and CEO of Graft used to run machine learning at Slack, where he helped build the company’s internal artificial intelligence infrastructure.

Several weeks ago, I had a great conversation with Sebastian Hassinger, now at Amazon, about the state of quantum computing. It’s exciting–but also, not what a lot of people are expecting. I’ve seen articles in the trade press telling people to invest in quantum computing now or they’ll be hopelessly behind. That’s silly. There are too many people in the world who think that a quantum computer is just a fast mainframe.

Software typically becomes more expensive to change over time. That’s a problem for Agile, because if change becomes significantly more expensive over time, the Agile model doesn’t make sense. So instead, Agile teams can use evolutionary design: a way of starting simple and improving your design as you go. With evolutionary design, changes become cheaper over time, not more expensive.
