About

One of the world’s leading technology thinkers, Paul Ford has written about code and culture for dozens of publications like Wired, Businessweek, and the New York Times. In 2015, after years spent writing award-winning explorations of technology, Paul decided to do something about it—and started an agency with his friend Rich Ziade called Postlight. Today, he's still partnered with Rich, and building Aboard—a tool that uses AI to cut millions of dollars and countless hours from the software development process, while still keeping humans in the loop.
