AI Reshapes Software Development; Williams Guardianship Ruling

A New York profile reports former daytime TV star Wendy Williams is under guardianship in a luxury senior home, provoking sharply divided public reaction and concerns about exploitation; a judge later threw out a federal lawsuit related to the case. Separately, industry analysts say artificial intelligence is rapidly shifting from a coding aid to the central driver of the software development lifecycle, reshaping requirements, planning, testing, and real-time collaboration. Developers increasingly must treat AI like a team member—using step-by-step guidance, product thinking, and combined coding and UI skills—to produce and refine usable software. Many engineers are pivoting toward AI + IoT + edge intelligence to build adaptive, real‑world systems and are documenting transitions from traditional web engineering to intelligent edge systems. Microsoft says developers will lead the next enterprise AI wave as copilots and agents collapse handoffs into continuous feedback loops, but warns enterprises must address governance, compliance, cost, and accountability and is promoting tools like Azure AI Foundry and the Model Connector Protocol to help do so.
