Comprehension Debt: The Ticking Time Bomb of LLM-Generated Code

An effect that’s being more and more widely reported is the increase in time it’s taking developers to modify or fix code that was generated by Large Language Models. If you’ve worked on legacy systems that were written by other people, perhaps decades ago, you’ll recognise this phenomenon. Before we can safely change code, we first need to understand it – understand what it does, and also oftentimes why it does it the way it does. In that sense, this is nothing new.

Notion Capital raises $130M growth fund to tackle Europe’s follow-on gap

techcrunch.com Anna Heim 2025-10-06 15:00:00

The lack of growth capital in Europe is such a persisting issue that some early-stage firms have taken the matter into their own hands. London-headquartered firm Notion Capital is one of them. In 2017, Notion Capital was one of the first in Europe to close an opportunities fund to provide its portfolio companies with follow-on capital. Now, it has closed a $130 million growth fund, nearly twice the size of its previous one, that will also invest outside of its portfolio, TechCrunch learned excl

‘The Last Starship’ Picks Up on Two of the Biggest Missed Opportunities in Modern ‘Star Trek’

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-10-07 00:00:32

When IDW announced its latest Star Trek comic, The Last Starship, much of the focus was on the fact that the series would, somehow, resurrect Captain James T. Kirk for a story set in the 31st-century timeline introduced in Star Trek: Discovery. Now the series is here; the premise is much more than nostalgia for the original Trek captain but instead a fascinating way to explore not one but two different major plotlines developed in contemporary Star Trek‘s streaming age—ideas that Star Trek large
