How AI Learns
Learning is what makes AI so powerful — and so dangerous. When we understand how AI learns, we can train it more effectively.
Build With AI Right Now
AI can set your app apart, but how? Let’s look at a few ways you can inject AI into a new or existing product.
The Building Blocks Behind AI
When considering your AI app, it's best to have a grasp on the technology that makes it possible. So let's pop the hood on AI.
The Case For Radical Simplicity
If your app does eight things, you should be making eight apps. I’m telling you, embrace radical simplicity.
“Just Fix It” — Development Doesn’t Work Like That
“Just fixing it” is hardly ever as simple as it sounds. Bad code from a cheap team = starting over.
Mud at the Finish Line: The Reddest Flag of All
Your product shouldn’t limp across the line to launch. It should feel absolutely bulletproof.
Leave Your Fingerprints on the Product
Best practices are helpful, but they’re not set in stone. Between the boundaries of best practices, there’s plenty of room to be creative and weird.
Going Viral — The Right Way
Let’s talk about going viral — what it is, what it should be, and how it all comes down to the user experience.
Dodging the Technical Debt Trap
When you choose to build your app fast over building it right, technical debt is the price you pay — and it'll come back to haunt you.
QA: The All-Stars of the Software Assembly Line
Good Quality Assurance can be a life-saver for your project, but if you’re a non-technical person, you may have never even heard of QA in software development.
QA: What It Is & Why You Need It
QA teams are the unsung heroes of the development cycle — and an absolute must when choosing an app development partner.
Do you really need that data?
Apps ask for so much information before users even see what they’re getting. The data you request must make sense in the context of the experience the app provides.
What is Web3, and does it matter?
Now that the NFT fad is mostly over, can we talk about Web3 for real? I, for one, am very excited about it, especially in light of the total game-changer that is AI.
Rethinking the Paywall
Let’s face it, the market is not used to paying for apps. We’ll talk about the possibilities of paywalls, and how to build an app worth buying in the first place.
The Consequences of Low Code Quality
Code quality determines how smoothly your app runs, how far it can go, and how good that process feels.
Your MVP & the Founder’s Flaw
Beware the Founder’s Flaw: where every detail seems all-important, skewing your sense of priority and proportion. To stay on track, keep these thoughts in mind.
Don’t look down.
2022 was a rough year following a few rough years. COVID happened, my died passed unexpectedly while I was six month’s pregnant, and Russia invaded Ukraine, where WLCM’s team was based. A lot of things shifted, chief among them my worldview, and not for the better. I started getting scared.
"It Didn't Go Well"
My five-year-old son is at summer camp on the beach. On the first week, the kids took swim tests to determine if they needed to wear a swim vest in the water. My son came out on the side of... swim vest. The next week, he asked the counselors if he could try again.
Clean Architecture: The Secret to Cutting Costs and Scaling Smart
When it comes to the code under the surface of your app, simplicity scales! Clean architecture structures the components of your app in a way that wastes fewer resources, simplifies maintenance, and costs less.
