Suhail Kakar, posting on X, re-outlines "vibe coding," the transformative approach to software development leveraging AI tools to democratize building apps. He credits Andrej Karpathy's insight: "There's a new kind of coding I call 'vibe coding', where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists." For developers, tools like Cursor and Claude enable faster iteration by offloading repetitive tasks, focusing on core ideas. Non-coders use Replit or Lovable for browser-based creation without touching code. Kakar emphasizes clear early planning, testing, and iteration to avoid common 'vibe' pitfalls. This shift empowers a new class of individuals to turn ideas into reality swiftly, exploding innovation and independence in tech creation, with a promising horizon for ever more accessible entrepreneurship.

Ledger customers have been warned of a fresh exposure of personal data following unauthorized access at Global-e, a third-party e-commerce and logistics provider used for international sales, according to emails reviewed by The Block. The compromised information includes customer names and contact details, though the scope remains undisclosed. Ledger said no payment data was affected and stressed that its core systems remain intact. “There was no breach of Ledger’s own platform, hardware, or software,” a company spokesperson said, adding that Global-e has no access to recovery phrases or digital asset holdings. The incident revives memories of Ledger’s 2020 data leak, which exposed information from more than 270,000 customers and led to lawsuits and phishing campaigns. While smaller in scale so far, the episode underscores growing pressure on firms in the bitcoin industry to ensure resilience not only in products but across commercial partners.

Bitcoin Core, the dominant software powering about 78% of the network's full nodes, saw a robust resurgence in development activity in 2025, bolstering the bitcoin industry's foundational security and innovation. Mailing list discussions surged 60% year-over-year, reversing a prior decline attributed to a platform migration, while 135 unique contributors added or modified roughly 285,000 lines of code, up from 112 individuals in 2024. This expansion reflects growing community engagement in protocol enhancements, including a landmark third-party security audit by Quarkslab that uncovered no critical vulnerabilities, and debates over mempool policies like lifting OP_RETURN limits. As Casa CSO Jameson Lopp noted in The Block, the metrics highlight a "notable resurgence" amid sustained funding from entities like VanEck's ETF profit pledge to Brink. These advances promise ongoing decentralization and user sovereignty in bitcoin.

In a thought-provoking essay, author George Nurijanian explores how digital distractions, including AI tools like ChatGPT, undermine creativity by fragmenting attention and prioritizing instant access over deep engagement. He argues that true innovation stems from sustained curiosity, which compounds like interest to forge novel connections and skills across domains. Nurijanian draws from personal experiences in music, writing, and product management to illustrate a "curiosity-creativity loop" vulnerable to interruptions. "Creativity requires sitting with an unresolved problem long enough to see new angles," he writes. He posits that apparent lack of curiosity often masks skill gaps, not innate disinterest, and offers strategies like interleaving familiar tasks with challenging ones to build traction. Optimistically, Nurijanian emphasizes reclaiming focus to harness AI additively, for more targeted personal growth and transferable insights in the era of abundance.
