What’s behind a new wave of apps in Apple’s App Store? It’s probably two words: vibe coding.The App Store was flooded with 235,800 new apps in the first quarter of this year—an increase of 84% over the same period last year, according to new data published by The Information—after declining by 48% between 2016 and 2024.That builds on a trend from last year in which developers created a whopping 600,000 new apps, leaving people wondering what is behind the big push.It turns out—perhaps not surprisingly—that with AI tools making it easier to create a mobile application more quickly, more apps are…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Insufficient documentation, limited feature visibility and poor support can all contribute to churn by making it harder for customers to discover what a product can do and get value from it. Use support tickets, session recordings, product usage data and public user reviews to find what frustrates users, then turn those insights into content that closes the gap. Turn each problem into the right type of content. Then embed it in the product and measure impact on support tickets, feature adoption, and churn. I write a lot of bottom-of-funnel content for B2B…

If you haven’t been affected yet, someone you know has. And whether driven by AI, a merger, a restructuring, or a strategic pivot, layoffs are no longer exceptional events. They’re a recurring feature of working life.Most layoff advice focuses on the mechanics: Update your résumé, optimize your LinkedIn profile, practice your exit story. All necessary. None sufficient. What determines whether a career transition is a three-week pivot or an 18-month grind isn’t your résumé; it’s the quality of the relationships you’ve built, maintained, and invested in long before you needed them.As I wrote in a recent article, busyness systematically downgrades…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways This case doesn’t mean you need to rip apart your product tomorrow, but it does mean you can’t treat your recommendation engine like a neutral feature anymore. If your system shapes behavior at scale, that’s part of your responsibility whether you intended it or not. A California jury just found Meta and YouTube liable for harm tied to addictive product features, with $3 million in compensatory damages and punitive damages still on the table.Nothing is final yet. This will lead to years of appeals. But even before the appellate process…

As American astronauts fly to the moon for the first time in 50 years, the test flight has gone off without a hitch . . . well, almost. This time around, the “Houston, we’ve had a problem” moment came with much lower stakes than Apollo 13’s oxygen tank leak.NASA’s Artemis II is the first crewed mission featuring a proper toilet—a major upgrade from the Apollo-era days of astronauts chasing runaway bodily emissions in zero gravity.Historically, waste capture was handled by a crude system of plastic bags attached to space suits, a headache for astronauts already contending with the many life-threatening…

Key Takeaways Peter Goldsborough dropped out of college to start his career in Silicon Valley on Facebook’s AI research team. He then worked for Anduril as a chief engineer before starting his own company, Rune Technologies. Rune tackles the problem of military logistics, or ensuring that troops or weapons systems have enough fuel, water and ammunition. After dropping out of college in his native Austria, Peter Goldsborough became emblematic of a particular Silicon Valley dream: At age 19, he landed a job on Facebook’s AI research team and later became a chief engineer at defense unicorn Anduril. But less than…

For most of modern financial history, retail investors were treated as background noise. Institutions moved the market. Hedge funds set the tone. Analysts shaped narratives. Individual investors followed.That era is over.Retail investors made up 35% of the market in April 2025, an all-time high. According to a 2024 report, almost 80% of the market is high-frequency algorithmic trading. Combine these numbers, and it is theoretically possible that all of the market could be trading a popular stock on social media that gets quickly amplified upwards by momentum trading algorithms.This is not a trend. It is a structural shift.And it is…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Early startup success often relied on aggressive growth hacks and urgency-driven tactics, but in today’s crowded markets, these approaches come across as forced. Brand discipline is the new driver of trust and growth. It comes from consistent messaging, interface behavior, visual systems and content structure that make a company feel coherent over time. One of the clearest characteristics of disciplined brands is restraint. When people are given space to understand what the company does, why it exists and whether it is worth trusting, they stay longer. For nearly a decade,…

After years of working with clients across various industries at Dreamix, certain patterns repeat. Not the technical work—that varies enormously—but in the conversations that happen before the work begins. The assumptions clients bring into a vendor selection process often shape the outcome more than the technology choices that follow.Three of those assumptions are worth questioning before signing anything.1. Don’t design the team before scoping the problem.A client arrives with a fixed requirement for five senior engineers, a specific tech stack, and product availability by a certain date. The project scope comes later.I understand their reasoning. Senior engineers are scarce and…

Key Takeaways Block CEO Jack Dorsey says that employees now bring AI-created prototypes to meetings instead of slide decks. He argues that prototypes offer deeper realism and can be changed in real time. This shift comes as Block has used AI-driven efficiency to justify laying off over 4,000 employees, about 40% of its workforce. A few months ago, meetings at fintech company Block consisted of a group of employees going through a slide deck or a document together.  Now, Block CEO Jack Dorsey says AI has changed the game. Instead of slide decks, employees are showing up to meetings with…
