Generative AI has been hyped so much over the past two years that observers see an inevitable course correction ahead — one that should prompt CIOs to rethink their gen AI strategies. But while whispers of a gen AI bubble grow louder, a full burst may not be in the offing, as many AI experts see investment continuing even after some IT leaders, among others, push back on the technology’s hype.

Don’t assume your team knows just because you told them Magical thinking means you assume your team knows what you know. For example, you might think that explaining a task once is enough and everyone will understand and execute it perfectly. Of course, your team might not get it. It’s your job to ensure expectations are clear. How Magical Thinking Leads to Workplace Conflict Think about any significant conflict you’ve been a part of.

Through July, 70 new unicorns — private companies valued at $1 billion or more — had been minted. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, 28 of those companies were granted their unicorn horn after an early-stage funding round — defined as seed, Series A or Series B — an analysis of Crunchbase data shows.

I like hot sauces. My favourite is Ring of fire , a hot sauce that I first encountered in the US. It is a mix of habanero and serrano chillis, tomatoes, vinegar and spices. It is very tasty and (despite the name) not super hot. However, it has become increasingly difficult and expensive to get ‘Ring of fire’ in the UK. And most of the hot sauces available in UK shops are lacking in either flavour or heat, or often both.

Does pursuing a college education still make sense in the age of online learning and AI — when we have access to information for free via the internet? The problem with this question is that it frames college as an information gatekeeper, misunderstanding much of its value. For many, higher education institutions offer more than that: a transformative journey where students can network and develop transferable soft skills that require teamwork and repetition.

Executive Summary This research examines an attack vector allowing the compromise of GitHub repositories, leading to severe consequences and potential high-level access to cloud environments. The vulnerability arises from the abuse of GitHub Actions artifacts in CI/CD workflows. Misconfigurations and security flaws can cause these artifacts to leak tokens from third-party cloud services and GitHub, making them accessible to anyone with repository read access.

Using ChatGPT when I code has been a real productivity boost for me. Instead of reading an example on Stack Overflow and figuring out how to adapt it to my particular case, I immediately get code tailored to my specific needs. I my mind, generating code is a perfect use case for LLMs, since I will always test the generated code. If it isn’t working, I’ll find out right away, so hallucinations is not a problem.

To be a better performance coach avoid these common mistakes.

So you give them more performance coaching, this time “louder” literally or through progressive discipline.

Much of the attention to generative AI in software development is about generating code. But it may have a more useful role in helping us understand existing code. This is especially true for older codebases that are getting hard to maintain ("legacy") or to improve onboarding in teams that have a lot of fluctuation. Birgitta Böckeler demonstrates the possibilities here by picking an issue from an open-source hospital management system and exploring how AI could help her deal with it.

It’s a best practice to split your environments into separate AWS accounts. It does not cost you anything extra and you can guarantee that your development environment is completely isolated from the higher environments. With this setup, it’s also common to have a build or tooling account to be responsible for the deployment of your application. But it does bring some other challenges, for example: When you have a web application it usually has a frontend and an API that it uses.

New research in behavioral science has revealed that cynical thinking stands in the way of success in the workplace. Cynics, it turns out, earn less money, report lower job satisfaction, and are less likely to be elevated to leadership positions. That’s because success is not the winner-take-all battle that cynics believe it to be. Cynicism, in fact, can bleed workplaces of creativity, openness, and morale, and the bottom line — whereas the people who succeed at work tend to so by building trust
