Antony Jenkins: We Can Build a Better Banking System with Technology

Antony Jenkins, former CEO of Barclays, has spent 35 years working in large financial services institutions. He says that it struck him that, although there’s a lot of technology in banks, it doesn’t help much when it comes to improving the customer experience or lowering costs, and it hasn’t improved the reputation of banks within society. He founded 10x to create a new banking experience — one that is more diverse, open, and fair. In episode 229 of FinTech Insider, he talks to us about his new...

Apple Intelligence is here. What does it mean for developers, consumers, and innovation? - Bitrise Blog

It’s often said that being first to market with a new product or idea is the key to success, and in many cases it is. But Apple has never chased the so-called first-mover advantage.Apple wasn't the first to release an MP3 player or even the first on the market with a smartphone, yet it has consistently redefined what's possible with technology. As Tim Cook once said, "For us, it's not about being first; it's about being the best." The company is also playing the long game when it comes to genera...

New! Level up your iOS game eBook: Faster iOS builds, more time for what matters - Bitrise Blog

It takes around 23 minutes to regain focus after an interruption. If you’re an iOS developer you will know the impact firsthand. Every interruption steals your concentration.
