TLDR 2025-11-26

Every day we hear from companies who are disappointed because their MSPs:

• Lack proactivity, resulting in little improvement over time
• Continuously charge more and sometimes for every change
• Offer no security visibility, keeping C-level executives up at night

ThreatSpike is disrupting the MSP market with a new model that offers:

→ A roadmap to great IT with measurable progress every day→ Visionary technology solutions enabling the business and its users→ Full security visibility and proactive protection→ 24/7 global support→ Fixed price per user (yes, really)See what's possible

Alibaba's Qwen app drew more than 10 million downloads in the week after its relaunch. The company will gradually add agentic AI features to support online shopping in the coming months. Alibaba has rebranded itself as an AI-first business. It plans to deeply integrate core lifestyle and productivity services directly into the Qwen app.

The Boring Company's Prufrock-5 tunnel boring machine (TBM) will begin tunneling by December 1. One of the key features of the Prufrock machines is that they can be retrieved, upgraded, and deployed again with improvements. Standard TBMs are often left underground at the end of projects because retrieving them is usually too expensive and impractical. TBMs from the Boring Company could eventually be as reusable as SpaceX's boosters.

Interoception is a sense that supplies the brain with a remarkably rich picture of what is happening throughout the body. It shapes our emotions, behavior, decisions, and feelings. A growing body of research suggests that many psychiatric conditions may be caused in part by errors in our perception of our internal environment. Scientists still need to develop a firm understanding of how interoception works, but someday it may be possible to treat some conditions by returning a person's internal sense.

The brain experiences five major phases, split up by four pivotal turning points (at around the ages of nine, 32, 66, and 83 years) in which brain organization moves on to a different trajectory. Understanding the brain's structural journey helps scientists identify when and how its wiring is vulnerable to disruption. It could also give insights into risk factors for mental health disorders, which most frequently emerge during the adolescent period. An overview of the five stages is available in the article.

That anxiety is real. This guide from Appfire draws on data from 3,000+ developers to show how leaders can support teams through AI adoption without burning them out. The Developer Thriving Framework covers the culture patterns that predict burnout, how to build confidence during transitions, and practical steps to support learning. Download the guide

Tech leaders should take the time to learn what they need to know about tech to be effective. Their job as a CTO is to make decisions in an extremely complicated environment and under conditions of considerable uncertainty. It's really important to understand clearly what tools and what teams are working with. A lack of understanding will eventually cause a messy crash.

Gemini 3 is now available for developers to build with via the Gemini API. Google has rolled out several updates to the API to support Gemini 3's state-of-the-art reasoning, autonomous coding, multimodal reasoning, and agentic capabilities. The changes are designed to give users more control over how the model reasons, how it processes media, and how it interacts with the outside world. Details are available in the article.

Technology has become so intertwined with day-to-day life that it influences everything, from our relationships to the way we work, protect ourselves, and even the things we choose to learn and when. The next year will see humans transition into a new era of AI in the human loop. This cycle will create massive opportunities to solve problems that truly matter.

You are not uniquely undisciplined. Deep work is mathematically rare unless you deliberately design for it. Just one less interruption per hour each day can transform your week. Learn how to split up tasks into smaller chunks. This post presents a model for increasing focus at work.
