Your Complete Guide to Becoming a Sought-After Software Architect

In a year of rapid digitalization and unprecedented automation, if there is anything almost single-handedly running the world today, it’s ‘software’. Organizations, companies, and people can’t survive and grow without robust enough software as their backbone. But this ‘software’ does not pop about on its own. It has to be mapped, architected, cultivated, and steered well. That’s a job that is crucial and indispensable in today’s age. And that’s where software architects come in.

“It’s not about the shoes. It’s what you do in them”.

This punch-line of a trendy sneaker brand- could not have been more relevant than today. Contrary to what many sneaker-heads would opine, the actual value of a good shoe lies in its on-ground sturdiness. It’s all about being rugged in all weathers – whether AI or Leather.

Task Classification of AI

It takes not just one blow, but many, for a bat to become a Batman. And it all boils down to the tasks they do.

In the wise and penetrative words of Alan Perlis, “A year spent in artificial intelligence is enough to make one believe in God.” Let’s raise a toast to Alan and chat more about artificial intelligence (AI) in the same vein. AI looks like a miracle. And it’s a miracle created by humans – to a large extent. That’s why AI is becoming as powerful and mysterious as a Batman. It has so many shades, and it can fly to unimaginable heights. If we could look at some initial encounters, that should be enough to make us utter a big ‘Wow’.

Step Up to DevOps – The Elevator to The Future

Sometimes, when you walk into your office, the world looks quite alien to what it used to be just a few years back. Gone are the burdens of monolithic software. Away and out is the heavy-lifting that most application development cycles used to suffer. You don’t see any more shelves of pending files and bugs. You do not sneeze at the dust that would pour on you when you entered those dark and dingy server rooms. As IT is becoming modular and we see the rise of microservices, Cloud-first applications, containers and AI- the way you work on applications – gets lighter, gets sharper. It’s an expanding paradigm, upending the application model for many businesses.

Artificial Intelligence And Neural Networks

AI advancements, especially Neural Networks, are fuelling many applications and possibilities today. Gear up for a new reality where patterns, decisions, and actions would be based on the power of human brains.

What would it be like to walk in a museum that curates not our past but our future? Hard to say, but one thing is for sure. We would see fascinating copies of our brains sitting cheerfully in some corridor here.

How Does Machine Intelligence Work?

From fraud-proof BFSI applications, autonomous cars, chatbots to crime-fighting facial recognition, machine intelligence is redefining so much in the world we inhabit. But how do you know how it works? How are these applications so accurate, fast, real-time, and imaginative beyond our imagination? The answer lies in what happens inside the models that run them. The way algorithms are structured and run makes machines churn out so many decisions and insights- and so swiftly.

Voice and Language-Driven Intelligence

Until a few years back, speaking to a voice assistant while cooking new recipes or asking for directions would have been either akin to insanity or the equivalent of having a genie in a bottle. But look at how normal it is now. It is hard to imagine a road trip or a workout session without the assured, helpful and insightful voice of artificial intelligence (AI) around.
