- AI is writing almost all startup code. That's creating a new problem.
AI tools like Anthropic's Claude Code are now the primary authors of startup code, enabling rapid development but introducing issues with code quality and maintainability. Founders report nearly all code at companies such as Alma and Chainguard is AI-generated, though concerns about 'slop' and bugs are growing.
- Where could we see tropical development for the first half of June?
June is historically the least active month of the hurricane season, with only three Category 3+ hurricanes recorded in June since records began. Early June tropical development typically occurs near the U.S. in the western Caribbean, Gulf, and southeast Atlantic, driven by stalled fronts and the Central American Gyre. Current models show no immediate organized storm activity, but the Madden-Julian Oscillation may promote storminess by mid-June, though its influence is expected to be weaker due to a developing El Niño.
