AI tools for devs are multiplying like npm packages—Copilot, Cursor, ChatGPT, Tabnine, Ghostwriter—each promising to “revolutionize” your workflow while mostly just burning your time.

The truth? There’s no single “best” tool, just the right stack you can actually wrangle without drowning in bloat. Pick what helps you ship faster, ignore the hype, and remember: if you’re spending more time testing AI tools than writing code, the tool is using you.

When women and girls assert themselves, they often get a negative reaction. Women are criticized for being aggressive, and girls are told not to be bossy.⁠
⁠
This happens because of age-old stereotypes that lead us to expect women and girls to be nice and friendly. When they assert themselves, they go against that expectation—and as a result, we tend to like them less.⁠
⁠
When you hear someone criticize a woman or a girl for asserting herself, ask them about it: “That’s interesting. Would you have that reaction if a man/boy did the same thing?”⁠
⁠
Learn how you can help girls reject limiting stereotypes and embrace their leadership superpowers at LeanInGirls.Org.⁠

**Attention small to midsize business owners**

Does your plan for growth this year involve the implementation of new technology, software, or an AI powered solution? Are you running lean and not looking to bring on a full time team?

We can help, and it starts with a consultation about your projects, goals, and what success looks like for you. From there, we have a network of IT professionals and partners with decades of experience that help your team at the fraction you need. The first consultation is always free - book some time with one of our senior experts here https://www.apid.tech/services

This month we are highlighting the importance of technical project management, particularly when it comes to AI solutions, to ensure success. A fractional technical project manager is a project management consultant who works on a fractional basis, providing specialized expertise for specific projects or initiatives without the commitment of a full-time hire. This flexible approach allows businesses to access project management talent without the overhead of a full-time position.

Learn more about the value of Fractional Project Managers at our website, https://www.apid.tech/the-buzz/value-of-project-manager

A small business owner who manages everything themselves might think they don’t need a project manager, but hiring one—especially a fractional or part-time PM—can be a game-changer.

⚠ Security Update


The first quarter of every year is a high volume period for social engineering and malware attacks. There is a rise in the number of attacks that use a series of artificial CAPTCHA prompts to fool users into downloading and running malicious software. This use of malware that *looks* like legitimate security software you commonly see is incredibly effective and highlights the needs to remain vigilant when using web applications.

An increasing number of websites use a clipboard hijacker and instruct victims on how to infect their own machine.
