This founder discovered that culture is just three things - who you fire, promote, and hire. Everything else is corporate theater. At his startup, every piece of feedback connects to a cultural value that directly affects those decisions. No vague annual reviews. He gave feedback 50+ times last year, mostly positive, always tied to specific behaviors. When promotions depend on documented cultural values, not politics, people actually start living them.

VC is splitting into two extremes - funds with 100+ companies doing "spray and pray" versus those with 20-30 doing deep engagement. Mathematically, larger portfolios perform better according to recent analysis. However, that assumes diversification is free, which it isn't.
AI models consume 300x more input tokens than they output - sometimes up to 4,000x. This founder tested it expecting 20x, but discovered the shocking reality. Since input tokens cost 98% of your API bill despite being 4x cheaper per token, the engineering challenge isn't prompting anymore - it's context engineering. You need efficient data retrieval that finds the best information in the smallest token footprint. Caching moves from nice-to-have to mission-critical when 99% of your tokens are input.
This founder watched dropshipping in 2010 and sees the same pattern with today's AI wrappers - 16-year-olds hitting $1M ARR in 30 days. Find a niche, wrap the latest model, and pay TikTok kids for distribution. Most dropshippers died when Facebook ads got expensive and consumers caught on. However, Nike “dropshipped” Japanese shoes for 10 years before making its own. Now everyone wears Nikes. The takeaway isn't choosing between quick money or building something generational - you need the money printer to fund the dream.

Attackers can exploit Supabase's Model Context Protocol (MCP) to leak SQL databases by embedding malicious commands in support messages. Developers using AI assistants like Cursor to review tickets can unintentionally execute SQL queries with elevated privileges, bypassing security. LLMs can't distinguish between user data and instructions, enabling crafted messages to trigger unauthorized database access and data exfiltration through the support interface.
Google's Android Advanced Protection now integrates with Chrome to enhance security for high-risk users, such as journalists and officials. It provides three key features: enforcing HTTPS everywhere, full site isolation on devices with 4GB+ RAM to prevent data leaks, and disabling JavaScript optimizations that are often exploited in V8 security bugs. These options, which have performance trade-offs, can be enabled by enterprises and users through Chrome's privacy settings and policies outside of Advanced Protection.
Wiz developed a small language model based on Llama 3.2 1B to detect secrets in code. It utilized Claude Sonnet 3.7 to create a training dataset of secrets based on scans of public GitHub repositories. It then fine-tuned Llama 3.2 1B using Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) and quantization, achieving an 82% recall rate and an 85% precision rate on commercial CPUs.

OpenAI has implemented stricter security measures to prevent information leaks and poaching. The new measures include “information tenting” policies that limit access to sensitive algorithms and new products, isolating proprietary technology in offline computers, implementing biometric access controls for office areas, and a “deny-by-default” internet policy where explicit approval is required for external connections. OpenAI reportedly also increased physical security at data centers and expanded its cybersecurity personnel.
The SatanLock ransomware group, which was first identified in early April, has announced that it will shut down and leak all stolen data. In a report by Check Point in May, it was highlighted that more than 65% of SatanLock's victims had already appeared on leak sites run by other ransomware groups, suggesting that the group might be attempting to “reclaim” already compromised networks. SatanLock did not provide any reason for its sudden closure but has removed all victim listings from its .onion site.
Shellter, a commercial AV/EDR evasion loader for penetration testing, confirmed that hackers were using its Shellter Elite product in attacks after a customer leaked a copy of the software. Shellter has stated that it released updates that would not reach the “malicious customer” to combat the misuse. The leaked copy was first discovered by Elastic Security Labs, who discovered that multiple threat actors had been abusing Shellter Elite v11.0 to deploy infostealers.

Google's AI Overviews prioritize sponsored content and ads. It often pushes biased or fake product recommendations sourced mostly from manufacturers and sponsored reviews. This focus on advertising revenue harms independent websites, whose search traffic declines while Reddit threads filled with affiliate spam surge. Users should fact-check AI answers and log out of Google accounts for clearer results.
Creative agencies have evolved into transformation partners focused on driving business value. Design alone is no longer enough to help brands stand out. As branding became more accessible, businesses turned to agencies for help with deeper challenges like growth, loyalty, and product strategy. In response, agencies expanded into strategic services, competing with consultancies by offering faster, more creative, and often more affordable solutions.
Product information management (PIM) software helps businesses manage product data across multiple channels and is essential for those with thousands of SKUs. It enables growth by supporting strategies like SKU expansion, higher conversion rates, and selling more profitable items.

Managers should stop forcing AI tools on engineers and instead focus on outcomes rather than tool adoption. Mandating specific AI tools, creating AI-usage metrics for performance reviews, and eliminating traditional coding methods lead to slower development and messy codebases.
While automated tests are necessary for maintaining confidence when making code changes, they should be deleted when they are flaky. Tests that are flaky, too strict, too slow to run regularly, or outdated due to changed business requirements all harm developer productivity.
