After going in deep in product, I found myself drawn to a different challenge: making other developers more productive. As one of my biggest mentors would always say: “Developer productivity is always ‘Multiplier work’, especially in places where you have a lot of developers. By saving a couple minutes from every developer, every day, you’ve saved years of human life waiting for stuff.” The project that really forged me was the Office migration from Source Depot to Git.

In brief: After we had some good news about the UK tech jobs market last week, a new report on the US equivalent doesn't paint such as a rosy picture. The unemployment rate among IT professionals rose to 5.5% in May, marking the fifth month in a row that it has exceeded the national US average. The report, from IT management consulting company Janco, states that the unemployment rate for IT pros in the United States jumped 0.9% from 4.6% in April to 5.5% in May.

Epic Games took a big step with conversational AI when it added a new version of Darth Vader in Fortnite that could speak with players. But later this year, any creator using Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) will be able to make their own AI-powered characters with the same underlying technology behind Vader.

Amsterdam thought it was on the right track. City officials in the welfare department believed they could build technology that would prevent fraud while protecting citizens’ rights. They followed these emerging best practices and invested a vast amount of time and money in a project that eventually processed live welfare applications.

I love the OnePlus 13, but the official wireless charger is just maddening

Robert Triggs / Android Authority I’m a chaotic gadget charger, topping up my phone as and when rather than sticking to a rigorous overnight routine like a normal person. As such, you might think that wireless charging would be right up my street — pop the phone down, give it a little juice, and be back on my way. Unfortunately, wireless charging is notoriously slow, meaning that even half an hour on the dock is seldom enough for me. Thankfully, a few brands, mainly from China, offer fast(er)

Ryan Haines / Android Authority I like the OnePlus Pad 3 — in fact, it might be my favorite Android tablet right now. It’s big and powerful, yet light enough and slim enough for life on the go. There’s just one problem: It costs $700. The series didn’t always cost that much, but it does now, and there’s no good way around that. There’s also no good way to recommend another OnePlus tablet to someone who can’t afford the Pad 3, because OnePlus has a habit of retiring its older slates as soon as a

The art style was definitely cool — Mouse is a black-and-white first-person shooter inspired by 1930s rubber hose cartoons, featuring bipedal rodents dressed like mobsters — but without any information about the gameplay loop, mechanics or narrative direction, I remained unmoved.

But while the story of stopping the Death Star is well trod at this point, the story of just how it was built in the first place is much more complicated.
