Geolocation software is responsible for this ability to locate someone. It first hones in on your country, then your region, city, and zip code. But how exactly does this complex software work? And what might cause it to not work? Let’s find out.

    Co-creator of Siri & Grammy-nominated composer pair up to create new AI-music platform

    In 2017, Philip Sheppard & Tom Gruber came together with the goal of evolving the idea of what music and audio production could be. The idea originally came to Philip as he took one of his leisurely walks through the woods. Listening to headphones as he sauntered, Philip wondered if it would be possible for his smartphone to produce music that reflected his surroundings and feelings, rather than him choosing his own accompanying soundtrack.

Communication breaks down between design, development, marketing, and internal and external stakeholders. Team members forced to wear multiple hats can’t fully develop their craft.” We argue that the world needs product managers — even if certain projects don’t.
