Veteran engineer warns AI vibe-coding erodes software maintainability over time

A software engineering commentator argues that teams increasingly skipping code writing and code review in favor of AI-generated 'vibe coding' are storing up long-term trouble.

A Wire survey found that 61% of security leaders say access to shared files in Microsoft 365 often stays active far longer than intended, while more than a third struggle to even identify who currently has access to sensitive shared content.

AI role-play tools help managers rehearse tough salary and performance talks

New AI coaching platforms, including The Predictive Index's chatbot Obi, let managers practice difficult conversations about pay, performance and layoffs before they happen.

These tools range from text-based to voice-enabled, with some incorporating employee personality data to tailor practice sessions.
