Why Your Best Engineers Are Interviewing Elsewhere, CodeGood

By / Blog / ,

Best engineers leave due to poor information flow in hierarchies, not just compensation. Decisions are often made without considering engineering insights, leading to crises and resignations. Middle managers filter bad news, causing delays in executives learning about issues. Effective solutions include skip-level conversations to gather direct feedback, which can prevent attrition by addressing problems early. Organizations that foster open communication retain talent better and avoid costly turnover, while those that ignore these issues face increased recruitment costs and knowledge loss.

AI Summarization Optimization

By / Blog /

AI notetakers are becoming central to meetings, potentially manipulated by attendees for favorable summaries, termed AI summarization optimization (AISO). Similar to SEO, AISO involves adjusting language to influence AI outputs. Techniques include using specific phrases and strategic timing. This manipulation can distort records, favoring certain views. Potential defenses include social norms, organizational rules, and enhanced AI methods to detect manipulation. As AI integrates into workplace dynamics, adapting communication for AI becomes a new skill, reshaping collaboration and decision-making methods.

​​Securing Critical Infrastructure: Why Europe’s Risk-based Regulations Matter

By / Blog / ,

Cyberattacks increasingly threaten critical infrastructure like hospitals, power grids, and financial systems, prompting Europe to implement new cybersecurity regulations (NIS2, DORA). These rules broaden security requirements, making CISOs more strategic and demanding improved risk management, swift incident reporting, and higher board involvement. The goal is to shift from a compliance mindset to real, risk-based resilience, prioritizing effective controls such as multifactor authentication and robust asset management. Boards are now accountable for cyber risks, and organizations should use specific metrics, such as inventory, privileged access, and timely updates, to measure and manage security posture. The focus is on practical protections that clearly mitigate real threats to society, rather than applying all possible controls equally.
