Despite its broad adoption, AI raises questions amongst the coding community. Artificial intelligence has gone from a novelty to widespread adoption among software developers, with 90% of developers using the technology in their workflows, up 14% from a year earlier, according to a study by Google Cloud’s DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) team. However, the same study finds a trust gap with the technology. “While 24% of respondents report a ‘great deal’ (4%) or ‘a lot’ (20%) of trust in AI, 30% trust it ‘a little’ (23%) or ‘not at all’ (7%),” wrote Ryan Salva, senior director, product management at Google, in a DORA blog post. “This indicates that AI outputs are perceived as useful and valuable by many of this year’s survey respondents, despite a lack of complete trust in them.” Su...

Steve Jobs, the former CEO and cofounder of Apple, is revered for bringing to life one of the most successful tech companies in history, but he also had a will to do things his own way. Jobs, who died in 2011 at age 56 from pancreatic cancer, ran a tight ship during his time with Apple. He was a “unique, once-in-a-lifetime” leader, former Gap CEO Mickey Drexler told Yahoo Finance, yet was “a difficult person, mercurial, incredibly creative, and made sure the screws on all the products were horizontal.”  Jobs’ micromanaging practices and “no bozos” policy aside, he also sought out advice from other business leaders while Apple was growing. In a 2012 interview with CNBC, Warren Buffett recalls Jobs calling him a couple years prior to discuss what to do with the extra cash Apple had on ...

Late Friday, after a dramatic bidding war, he learned he’d finally claimed his prize. Bourla found out at around 9 p.m. that evening, according to people familiar with the matter, that the board of Metsera Inc., a three-year-old biotech startup developing a new generation of weight-loss drugs, had voted unanimously to accept Pfizer’s takeover offer of as much as $10 billion.

Tech stocks led the market higher at the opening bell on Monday after the Senate took a big step toward ending the record-breaking government shutdown that has clouded the picture of the economy. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) surged over 1.5%, while the S&P 500 (^GSPC) and Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed by around 1% and 0.5%, respectively.
