A Surge Meets Old Lessons Executives promised dazzling efficiency and cost savings by letting AI write most of the code while humans merely supervise, but the past months told a sharper story about speed without discipline turning routine mistakes into outages, leaks, and public postmortems that no board wants to read. Enthusiasm did not vanish; it matured. The technology accelerated

When leaders dodge the hard talk, partnerships do not simply slow down—they quietly unravel from the inside out as trust thins, goals drift, and accountability fades until even small decisions feel fraught. The cost shows up as missed signals, stalled projects, and growing cynicism that no roadmap can fix without candor. Avoidance looks safe in the moment, yet it invites
As new porn bans and age checks roll out across the U.K., U.S., and parts of Europe, VPN downloads have exploded in lockstep and an opportunistic wave of malware-laced “VPN” apps has surged into the gap created by novice users seeking fast workarounds, a collision of policy and security that now places privacy, safety, and the open internet on the
