ADHD is often treated as a single, amorphous condition, but in reality, it consists of various symptom profiles driven by unique biochemical and physiological factors. Oxford-educated psychologist Sarah Warley explains that managing ADHD effectively requires identifying these individual root causes rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. By investigating physiological drivers, individuals can transition from…

Decades ago, the West outsourced a critical layer of the electronics stack to Asia: printed circuit boards (PCBs). Davide Nastagi, co-founder and CEO of Brooklyn-based startup Diode, is on a mission to bring this capability back to America. By leveraging artificial intelligence to co-design and manufacture circuit boards, Diode aims to become the “AWS for…

Most people underperform relative to their true potential due to a biological predisposition toward safety and survival. Referred to as the central governor hypothesis, our brains are hardwired to prioritize comfort over peak performance. Achieving greatness is not an automatic process; it requires a conscious cognitive decision—an act of human agency—to push past these evolutionary…

The rapid rise of AI-assisted development has dramatically increased code volume, shifting the primary bottleneck of software engineering from writing code to reviewing it. Senior engineers are facing burnout under the pressure of reviewing cheap, abundant AI-generated code. To address this crisis, software development must pivot toward automating the feedback loop and designing robust, agent-friendly…

Working hard in silence is a career trap. While high output is valuable, career progression is ultimately driven by strategic actions, visibility, and relationship building. Many dedicated professionals find themselves stuck while others with less output get promoted simply because they understand the unwritten rules of corporate growth. To bridge this gap, you must adopt…

In this discussion, host Simon Sinek interviews Wharton professor and AI expert Ethan Mollick to explore a practical, balanced perspective on artificial intelligence. Moving past the extreme camps of “doomers” and “zealots,” Mollick highlights how AI is reshaping the landscape of work, education, and human creativity. He emphasizes that human agency, unique taste, and critical…

Google recently released a comprehensive 51-page master class on AI coding, outlining how the industry is converging on best practices for the AI-driven software development life cycle (SDLC). This summary synthesizes the core frameworks presented, focusing on the shift from manual coding to system orchestration and why the surrounding infrastructure matters far more than the…

Transitioning from treating AI assistants as simple chat interfaces to structured development infrastructure is the ultimate unlock for modern software engineering. Custom agents allow developers to package workflows, tools, constraints, and instructions into specialized personas, bringing consistency, speed, and safety to both solo and team-based repositories. Why Custom Agents Matter Using vanilla AI agents often…

Danila Shtan, CTO of Nebius, shares his front-line experiences running a rapidly growing AI cloud infrastructure company. From navigating the complexities of early GPU adoption to managing team dynamics, Shtan offers a realistic look at how artificial intelligence is shaping software engineering, organizational culture, and the recruitment landscape. The Reality of Agentic Engineering and AI…

Postgres has received a significant upgrade with the introduction of PG Durable, an open-source extension developed by Microsoft. This extension brings durable, crash-proof functions directly inside PostgreSQL, allowing developers to manage scheduled jobs, automatic retries, and long-running workflows without relying on external services. Because execution steps are persisted to disk, workflows can reliably survive database…

Despite the proliferation of labor-saving technologies designed to grant us unprecedented free time, modern life feels faster and more exhausting than ever. This persistent state of busyness is not a personal time-management failure, but a systemic creation of our economic landscape. By examining the insights of four prominent thinkers, we can understand why our hours…

In the rapidly evolving landscape of AI agents, persistent memory has emerged as a crucial differentiator. While the open-source Hermes agent gained massive popularity due to its robust ability to remember past conversations, many users are deterred by its separate runtime requirements, security concerns, and strict limitations. Replicating and enhancing the best features of Hermes’…
