2. 🚨 Your CDP Is Likely Broken If...
Every report feels off. Your marketing team questions the data. Sales doesn't trust the attribution. And now you're supposed to feed this mess into AI systems?

3. 💬 Slack is Launching Collaborative Vibe-Coding Channels
Well, this could be helpful.

The launch includes open, project-specific code channels with dedicated user tabs, alongside features that compare coding changes and preview HTML output before the project is shipped. (The Verge)
