Startups very often neglect the need to have proper technical documentation. In this post, I will try to explain why it is important and how to do it right without investing too much.
Your software is as good as its documentation. Even if it's a truism, it's worth remembering, especially when creating a SaaS solution with self-service capabilities and versatile APIs, or when building open-source (no, README.md in your GitHub is not sufficient).
Big tech companies know it very well. They invest significant money in creating and maintaining their documentation. They use dedicated tooling and have teams to build it. But what about startups? They are usually focused on building the product and acquiring customers. In this post, I give you my opinionated guide on how to create world-class documentation without investing.
Believe me, you can't afford to have bad documentation!

Summary of AI<>BA conference.
Another month, another conference. On October 25th, I had the pleasure of being a speaker at AI<>BA. The main focus of the conference was on business applications of AI. I was asked to give an introductory speech and define the common language - not an easy task, especially if you are used to speaking to a more technical audience. At the end of the day, I think it was beneficial for both - the audience and myself to have a chance to rethink the obvious and ask ourselves if we truly understood:
I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.

In this post, I will not summarize the conference but will try to summarize my practical observations.

This blog post delves into the evolving landscape of Artificial Intelligence, discussing the mix of excitement, fear, and hope surrounding its future. The European Commission's proposed legal framework for AI is explored, along with big names advocating for the pause of big model development. Ethical concerns arise, questioning AI's human-like conversational abilities and content creators' lack of credit. The post explains AI's role as both a content creator and a human-like entity. Legal aspects, risk levels, and the need for responsible AI use are highlighted, given the technology's rapid advancement and legal uncertainties.
The latest proceedings in Artificial Intelligence initiated heated discussions about the future of AI. It is a mixture of excitement, fear, hope, and everything in between. The European Commission has proposed a new legal framework for AI, which may shortly become the law. Some big names (including Elon Musk) urged to pause the development of big models - the open letter was signed over 30,000 times as of August 28, 2023 [^1]. At the same time, the adoption of the technology is growing rapidly and doubts are piling up. In this post, I'm summarizing my thoughts on how to approach the challenges and operate safely.
Prosecuted AI - absurd today, but who knows what the future holds.
