Last week, a prominent US senator called on the Federal Trade Commission to investigate Microsoft for cybersecurity negligence over the role it played last year in health giant Ascension's ransomware breach, which caused life-threatening disruptions at 140 hospitals and put the medical records of 5.6 million patients into the hands of the attackers. Lost in the focus on Microsoft was something as, or more, urgent: never-before-revealed details that now invite scrutiny of Ascension’s own security

The quality of AI-assisted software depends on unit of work management

The craft of AI-assisted software creation is substantially about correctly managing units of work. When I was new to this emerging craft of AI-assisted coding, I was getting lousy results, despite the models being rather intelligent. Turns out the major bottleneck is not intelligence, but rather providing the correct context.

You Had No Taste Before AI

There’s been an influx of people telling others to develop taste to use AI. Designers. Marketers. Developers. All of them touting the same message. It’s ironic, though. These are the same people who never questioned why their designs all look identical, never iterated beyond the first draft, and never asked if their work actually solved the problem at hand.
