JMA employees enjoyed a night out at the Lancaster Stormers game last night, cheering from the stands and enjoying some time together outside the office!

The highlight of the evening? Watching Layne Thompson, Senior VP, take the field to throw out one of the honorary first pitches! 👏⚾

Great baseball, great company, and another fun JMA night out! 🧡💙

Ever wonder why AI sometimes "forgets" something you told it earlier?

It's not really forgetting.

In the sixth installment of 𝑩𝒆𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒖𝒛𝒛𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒔: 𝑨𝑰 𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒅, JMA CTO Asim Aziz explores context windows, how AI processes information, why it can lose track of earlier details, and what leaders should understand when using AI for long conversations and large documents.

Swipe through ↓ to learn why understanding AI's limits is just as important as understanding its capabilities.

Three things went wrong on a project we’re proud of and each one reinforced why responsible speed requires more than good technology.

𝐖𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.
Logic from the legacy system was copied, assumed to be correct, and reinforced by a test written around it. The test passed, but the behavior was still wrong.

Tests can tell you whether a behavior has been preserved. They cannot tell you whether that behavior deserves to survive. A test user caught what the test suite could not.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠.
The logic worked as intended, but our assumptions about how the results should be displayed did not match how users actually interpreted them.

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.
For one feature, the feedback mechanisms built into the prototype limited responses instead of encouraging useful input. A fifteen-minute conversation uncovered what email exchanges and automated feedback could not.

These issues were not resolved because we had all the answers. They surfaced because working software was placed in front of real people early—and because the team kept testing, listening, and asking questions.

That is what responsible speed looks like: a strong test suite, real users working in the system, and the willingness to pick up the phone when technology alone is not enough.
