The creator of the AI coding app Nuanced has written that plan modes, once central to their product's approach, are losing relevance as AI models improve. They argue plan modes historically served two purposes: giving agents precise enough instructions, and helping humans understand what was being built, but that the first purpose is fading as models advance while the second still matters, just not through plan modes.
An Entrepreneur contributor writes that the modern CFO role increasingly stretches beyond accounting, treasury and financial planning into sales, product development, operations, technology, risk and strategy. Drawing on experience across construction and financial services CFO roles, the author says financial reporting, liquidity and controls should remain the foundation of the job rather than its outer limit. The piece calls for CFOs to embed themselves in commercial functions like sales pricing and incentive structures.
A business contributor writing for Entrepreneur argues that most virtual events fail because companies simply replicate in-person event formats instead of redesigning content for virtual consumption. The writer cites a firsthand case from a large customer during the Covid-19 pandemic whose livestreamed event lost most attendees before it ended, and proposes a seven-step framework covering outcome clarity, audience awareness, content focus, presenter selection, engagement, value communication and post-event follow-up.
PwC research cited by an Entrepreneur contributor finds that three-quarters of business owners feel deep regret within a year of exiting their company, despite gaining significant wealth.

A contributor writing for Entrepreneur argues that most business owners fail to formally document their exit and succession wishes, leaving families to guess at intentions during crises like death, disability, divorce or disagreement. The piece cites the statistic that half of all owners will eventually exit due to one of these 'five Ds,' often without written guidance in place.
A new tool called Ordewell breaks down a single stated goal into an ordered sequence of coding-agent tasks, each assigned its own runner, model, thinking effort and execution mode. Users can edit the plan before execution—reordering, adding, removing or rewiring dependencies—without losing finished work or restarting the AI conversation. Task completion is verified by checking for a unique marker in the runner's output rather than trusting the model's self-reported success.
