Software is transforming the world, but we can’t write it fast enough.
Despite increases in the number of software engineers being trained and advances in developer productivity, demand for software continues to outstrip supply.
Nobody can hire software engineers fast enough, and this is an important limit on growth worldwide. So, how can we solve this problem?
Increasing developer productivity is the key. Coding today is very repetitive, which is why we're using machine learning to eliminate the repetitive parts of programming – to make developers much more productive. And as a result, we're removing a huge bottleneck for progress in the world.

Cloudburst was founded in 1994 by Steve Wright, an offensive tackle for the NFL’s Los Angeles Raiders and business partner, Mike Davis. Steve simply wanted to find a way to cool off the Raiders sideline and did. From there the first ever sports misting fan was manufactured in Mike Davis’s garage. This iconic piece of history is shown at the top of this page being enjoyed by Tommy Lasorda at the Dodgers dugout in 1995. From there we won the bid to provide mist cooling to the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. This was the first time misting was used at the Olympics or seen on national television. This was the beginning of the high pressure commercialized misting industry you see today.
That was nearly 25 years ago and since then we haven’t looked back.
