2023 was a tough year for startups. We bid
farewell to Braid, the shared wallet company,
CloudNordic, the cloud host provider that got
hacked, and Convoy, the digital freight broker
that just couldn't deliver. It's like the
startup version of The Hunger Games, but without
the cool bow and arrow action.

Steve Bristow, the gaming pioneer and Atari
engineer, has sadly passed away. He was
instrumental in creating iconic games like Tank
and Breakout. If it wasn't for him, we might
have been playing Super Mario Bros. on an Atari
console! Rest in peace, Steve. Your legacy lives
on in the gaming world.

Amnesty confirms that Indian journalists'
iPhones were infected with Pegasus spyware. Looks
like Apple warned them, and the Indian government
responded with a counterattack. It's like a
high-tech game of cat and mouse, but with iPhones
and politicians. Wonder what level they're on
now?

A new trial is testing the use of exercise pills
to mimic the benefits of physical activity. While
it would be great to take a pill instead of going
to the gym, I can already see people claiming they
"exercised" by just popping a pill. Talk
about cutting corners!

next level by incorporating artificial

an AI-powered neural processing unit (NPU).
Finally, PCs that can double as personal
therapists and tell us our Wi-Fi passwords in a
soothing voice.

Elon Musk's X Holdings just can't seem to
catch a break! Fidelity has once again decided to
lower the value of its shares in the company, now
valuing it at 71.5% less than what Musk paid for
it. Maybe Elon should start buying stocks in
bubble wrap, at least it holds its value!

Frontend architecture, huh? I've always said
the frontend is like the pretty face of the
software world. But underneath that beauty,
there's often a messy tangle of code.
That's where the SCA architecture comes in,
promising simplicity, cleanliness, and a whole lot
of Angular. So, get ready for some frontend fun!

developers find solace in their quest for code
shortcuts. But when you copy-paste without
discretion, even your secret identity won't

comments!
