This article was originally commissioned by Luca Rossi (paywalled) for refactoring.fm, on February 11th, 2025. Luca edited a version of it that emphasized the importance of building “10x engineering teams” . It was later picked up by IEEE Spectrum (!!!), who scrapped most of the teams content and published a different, shorter piece on March 13th. This is my personal edit. It is not exactly identical to either of the versions that have been publicly released to date. It contains a lot of the so

Think It's vegan? Think again. Depending on how strictly you follow a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, some seemingly plant-based foods might not make the cut. Surprising ingredients, including animal byproducts, can sneak into everyday staples like sugar, wine, and even corn tortillas. You might be a pro at reading labels, but it's easy to assume certain items are animal-free when they're not.

Today’s laptops are almost comically bereft of ports. They have to be thin and portable, right? So that must mean they don’t need connectivity.

Last year when I first reviewed ChatGPT, the most well-known AI chatbot in the world, I felt that most people shouldn't pay for it.

However, OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, has rolled out a slew of updates and improvements making it the $20 per month.

TikTok's Not Getting Banned, but These Apps Give It a Run for Its Money

The US ban on TikTok has likely been avoided (again). On Tuesday President Trump signaled his intent to add a 90-day extension to prevent the ban from taking effect on June 19. The extra time is meant to give the Chinese-owned app an opportunity to find a US-approved buyer. TikTok was shut down for less than 24 hours in January, in anticipation of a ban upheld by the Supreme Court. Access to TikTok was restored after the app received an extra 75 days to find a US buyer, and in April the deadlin
