People are using astrology to figure out where they should live. I was skeptical until I tried it. - Business Insider

Business Insider's Grace Lett and Sydney Bradley at an astrology app's launch party in New York City. It was the day after the Fall Equinox, and we were partying on a rooftop, pulling tarot cards about our love lives. The location might surprise you: a venture capital firm's office overlooking the Manhattan skyline. Wait, what's astrology got to do with venture capital? We were at a launch party for a social-astrology app called Lora. The party was hosted by Lora founder Michelle Parsons at the offices of her pre-seed backer — AlleyCorp — in SoHo. Astrology is a hot subject in tech. Co-Star, a leading social app for the star-inclined, was acquired by AI company Midjourney this summer, casting a spotlight on the space. Investors and the astrology-obsessed alike want to know: Will an AI-era app take the crown as the next big app in the sector?

Rahul Devikar, a senior software engineer at Microsoft, says AI has transformed the way software gets built. This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Rahul Devikar, a 34-year-old senior software engineer at Microsoft who lives in the Seattle area. It has been edited for length and clarity. I've worked as a software engineer at Microsoft since 2018. Over the years, I've had a front-row seat to how AI has transformed the way software gets built. One of the biggest projects I've worked on is Microsoft 365 Agents SDK, an open-source library for building AI agents. It was my first open-source project at Microsoft, and we took it from idea to public preview in just a few months. While projects like this require a lot of work, I haven't experienced much of the AI fatigue that I've heard other engineers talk about. That's because overall, I think AI has made it much easier to get projects done. That said, AI comes with its own challenges. Sometimes an AI agent hallucinates, and figuring out why can be frustrating. As long as you're checking what it produces along the way, though, I think AI helps more than it hurts.
