Colorado Tech Weekly #348: Creating Quality Software Is Hard
Colorado Tech Weekly brings you the top 10 technology stories of the past week and the best upcoming local tech events every Monday morning!
I love pointing out Colorado connections to big tech stories. This week I don’t love the connection but it’s an important story that shows just how hard it can be to make good software. The CEO of Shadow, Inc., the now infamous company in charge of gathering info for the Iowa Presidential Caucuses, lives in Denver and issued a statement which is one of the headlines below but it goes to show that good testing is not good enough if you forget to consider all the things and it’s REALLY hard to remember what all the things are.
Have a great week!
