"As a result, we don't need as many roles in some areas as we once did," he wrote, without disclosing the number of affected roles. Protti said Meta is making the changes as it has invested in "building more global technical controls" over the past few years, and has made "significant progress" in its approach to risk management and compliance.

What happened with AWS outage recently is only a brief foreshadow of what might eventually come to pass if this trend continues. Imagine a world where most programmers are primarily LLM prompters with a very shallow understanding of core programming skills or even operational skills pertaining to an app, framework or library. What will we do if a major outage or technical issue occurs then and no person around knows what's really going on?

Throughout 2025, via political donations and not-so-subtle business moves, DoorDash has been showing the millions of gig workers who make its multibillion-dollar business viable that it's willing to spend far more to undermine their rights than to compensate them fairly-and it may soon replace them entirely with driverless vehicles. Last week, the United States' largest food-delivery platform announced it was kickstarting a partnership with the autonomous vehicle brand Waymo-a subsidiary of Google's parent company, Alphabet,

Anthropic's new 'Skills' feature lets Claude autonomously perform structured tasks, another sign that AI agents are moving beyond chat and into action. Model builders are moving beyond simple AI chatbots to creating comprehensive assistants that, in the words of AI dignitary Ethan Mollick, " do real work " in enterprise workflows. Anthropic is continuing its push in this area with a new feature, Agent Skills, which allows Claude to improve its execution of specific tasks. When relevant, the model can automatically access folders containing specific instructions, scripts, and other resources, then act on them with human approval.

Attorneys juggle deadlines, compliance, client demands, and a mountain of admin work, often without clear systems to support them. Growth, under those conditions, feels impossible. Workflows are the step-by-step processes that run your firm, they are the backbone of a scalable, profitable, and sustainable legal practice. By streamlining how your firm operates day to day, you create consistency, protect client trust, and free up capacity to take on more work without burning out your staff or yourself.

"The MSPs that are going to stand out in the future are certainly going to be the MSPs that simplify the complex,"

In Part two, we examined secure by design principles, with a approach, secure access service edge (SASE), and quantum-safe planning becoming non-negotiable foundations for the next decade. Automation is another pivotal strand to the change that's taking place. Instead of relying on manual command-line interfaces (CLI), tomorrow's networks will be defined by code, workflows, and application programming interfaces (APIs). From infrastructure as code (IaC) and observability to evolving skillsets, automation is not just about efficiency - it is becoming the DNA of modern networking.

In any enterprise application, user-provided data is often messy and incomplete. A user might sign up with a "company name," but turning that raw string into a verified domain, enriched with key technical or business contacts, is a common and challenging data engineering problem. For many development teams, this challenge often begins as a seemingly simple request from sales or marketing. It quickly evolves from a one-off task into a recurring source of technical debt.

If you're not leveraging email to capture your share of those sales, you're leaving serious money on the table. But here's the catch: Your subscribers' inboxes get absolutely crushed during Cyber Monday. Email volumes spike dramatically during the holiday weekend, which means your perfectly crafted campaign could easily drown in the noise. The good news? With the right email strategy, you can cut through the clutter and turn Cyber Monday into your most profitable day of the year.

"As tasks get automated within a job, your output in that job can go up tremendously, and that will then have a different range of impacts depending on the segment that company is in, or depending on what role that person is in," Levie said. Software engineering has been at the center of the debate on job replacement, as AI coding tools have automated many aspects of the work, and many recent grads are struggling to find jobs.
