Following in the footsteps of our first two cohorts — Disaster Management and Climate Resilience — the Now Go Build CTO Fellowship welcomes seven new fellows tackling a very important challenge: healthcare.The intersection of health and technology is very important to me. Before I started building distributed systems, I was a radiologist at the Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Hospital in the Netherlands. I worked alongside passionate doctors who would stay late into the night, knowing that any unfinished work meant patients would have to wait another day for potentially life-saving diagnoses. One colleague, Frank, kept telling me my skills would be…
Nov 17, 2025Ravie LakshmananVulnerability / Mobile Security Google has disclosed that the company’s continued adoption of the Rust programming language in Android has resulted in the number of memory safety vulnerabilities falling below 20% of total vulnerabilities for the first time. “We adopted Rust for its security and are seeing a 1000x reduction in memory safety vulnerability density compared to Android’s C and C++ code. But the biggest surprise was Rust’s impact on software delivery,” Google’s Jeff Vander Stoep said. “With Rust changes having a 4x lower rollback rate and spending 25% less time in code review, the safer path…
In a rapidly shifting, competitive digital landscape, entrepreneurs must go from ideation to product implementation at breakneck speed. For startups, time lost could mean being left behind by the competition and missing the window to embrace success. Digital entrepreneurs can access a critical advantage with a Headless Content Management System (CMS) that supports immediate implementation, customizable application, and ease of scaling. This article covers how a headless CMS promotes swift development and implementation from ideation to final execution so entrepreneurs can naturally progress to subsequent steps with speed. Less Development Time for Quick Launch Where entrepreneurs continuously struggle is with…
In the previous tutorial, we introduced the Foundation Models framework and demonstrated how to use it for basic content generation. That process was fairly straightforward — you provide a prompt, wait a few seconds, and receive a response in natural language. In our example, we built a simple Q&A app where users could ask any question, and the app displayed the generated text directly.But what if the response is more complex — and you need to convert the unstructured text into a structured object?For example, suppose you ask the model to generate a recipe, and you want to turn that…
One year after announcing the Cisco 360 Partner Program, it’s incredible to see how far we’ve come. What began as a bold vision to redefine how Cisco partners engage, grow, and win together has become a reality — shaped by your trust, your feedback, and your commitment to helping customers succeed. That collective energy was on full display at Cisco Partner Summit 2025, which exceeded every expectation. The energy was electric, the conversations were meaningful, and the sense of shared purpose was undeniable. Before we look ahead, I want to pause and say thank you. Our ecosystem — resellers, distributors,…
After numerous teasers, Honor just announced the launch date for the Honor 500 series. The Honor 500 and 500 Pro are set to debut on November 24 in China at 7:30 PM local time (11:30 AM UTC). The pair will usher in a design language for the Honor number series with a horizontal rear camera arrangement. Both phones are set to offer 200MP main cameras with the Pro utilizing a Samsung HP3 sensor alongside a 50MP 3x periscope telephoto (IMX858) and a 12MP ultrawide with a 117-degree FOV. Honor 500 (left) and Honor 500 Pro (right) Both…
Synthesis strategy and microstructure analysisWe previously demonstrated that piezoelectric polymer membranes based on single metal atoms are effective by anchoring isolated calcium (Ca) atoms onto nitrogen-doped carbon and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) composites [12]. Drawing on this prior research, we designed and improved the process to synthesize CaCN.ZIF-8 coated Ca (Ca/ZIF-8) was prepared via a hydrothermal method, followed by calcination to manufacture CaCN (Supplementary Fig. 1). Zinc nitrate hexahydrate, calcium chloride, and dimethylimidazole were used as raw materials, and synthesis was carried out using a hydrothermal method in methanol, followed by carbonization. Then, acid etching was performed to not only remove residual…
As a product builder over too many years to mention, I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve seen promising ideas go from zero to hero in a few weeks, only to fizzle out within months. Article Continues Below Financial products, which is the field I work in, are no exception. With people’s real hard-earned money on the line, user expectations running high, and a crowded market, it’s tempting to throw as many features at the wall as possible and hope something sticks. But this approach is a recipe for disaster. Here’s why: The pitfalls of feature-first development#section2 When…
Self-organizing / self-managing teams are a cornerstone of agile project management but they’re often misunderstood. Many mistakenly believe these agile teams operate without structure or guidance. Nothing could be further from the truth. This article explores what self-organizing teams are, how leaders can support them effectively, and the powerful outcomes that emerge from self-organizing teams. What Are Self-Organizing Teams? A self-organizing (aka self-managing) team is one that has the ability and autonomy to determine how best to accomplish its work within the boundaries and constraints put in place by its leaders. Self-organization doesn’t mean the team is unmanaged or anarchic;…
