We break down MVPs vs prototypes, share insights from MBA teaching sessions, and unpack Google’s move into Figma-style tools. Plus: what “vibe coding” really means, why you still need to understand your dev process, and how to stay employable in an AI-driven world. Stick around for details on our creative writing comp—with a seriously decent prize pool.
