Fractal Programming

Have you noticed the growing number of LinkedIn or tech magazine posts about the CIO who went to the cloud and “digitally transformed” an app portfolio? If you haven’t you are way too caught up worrying about face masks. Why is there no transformation criteria list? If there is, why can’t we see it? Why […]

Movement to the cloud accelerated the desire to rebuild applications with lower costs, apps more responsive and competitive benefits.  It is not happening. There are several reasons a reported 70% of application transformations fail. One is that the cloud is just someone else’s data center using the same technology stack the apps previously used.  The

  For what seems eons, technologists have been trying to get complex apps built in time to impact the business. Microservices, object-oriented programming, new DevOps processes have at most reduced time and effort 10% – 25%. The next evolution of both microservices and object-oriented programming is Fractal Programming.  Fractal Programming delivers a micro app rather

Recently some team members met with one of the world’s largest investment banks and the discussion quickly went to digital transformation – or better said, the fact that the cloud was not transforming anything. The attendees, who regularly meet with the C-suite of the Fortune 200, quickly agreed that the “cloud” was just someone else’s

DevOps is dead! Corporations are at the end-of-life for current IT technology.  Gartner Group forecast in January 2022 that the current tech stack is at end-of-life in 3 years. Software can no longer scale – either to solve massive data problems or deliver agile apps written and deployed in days. Apps cannot be delivered in

The End Of DevOps DevOps, for those of you not focused on software quality, is a way to get the operations people and coders together to get stuff done faster. DevOps was the rage but it failed to move the needle much more than 25%. 25% faster is pretty good but not transformative. Nobody transforms

Software to change in a big way! Moore’s Law means hardware gets about twice as fast every 24 months as chips can have smaller footprints. We are reaching the end of silicon-based efficiency because the laws of physics mean the etching on chips cannot get all that much smaller. Don’t take our word for it

  What the heck is a super computer?   One that delivers super computer outcomes.   One could measure by transaction speed, by size, by cool types of multi-spacial processing. Whatever it is, it is something pretty damn fast. Fast? What’s fast? Getting an app to run fast? Getting coding to work 1,000 times faster

In its day, the RPG-driven AS/400 was the early form of distributed computing. It was fast, inexpensive and RPG was relatively easy to learn. Today, the AS/400 can be the most gnarly of legacies. Nobody talks innovation with an AS/400. AS/400 apps are often the backbone of distribution or retail systems. They can be changed

Technical debt. 66 percent of IT budget for software maintenance. Cannot easily transform an application because the source is missing. Legacy apps are a compliance nightmare. Please, is there anything you can do to get us an alternative to Oracle and VMware! Many C-level executives’ inflexibility or that of their organization come from the ossified
