Good Evening,

Here are the 5 things you missed today:

1.  🏋️‍♀️ Planet Fitness Raised Prices

Planet Fitness, known for its $10/mo membership plan, is raising that monthly fee for the first time in 26 years to $15/mo for new members. The company didn’t elaborate on why they were raising it, but it’s a common tune amongst gyms these days.

🧑‍💻 How This Brand Streamlined Their Tech With Their Business Goals

Is your team struggling with managing tight deadlines, development work backlogs, and a desperate need for code standardization? You're not alone. Zappos, a top e-commerce brand had similar issues.

They wanted custom internal tools for managing human resources, team assignments, budget forecasting and internal invoicing.

When upper management didn't have time to assign these tasks to the internal dev team, they turned to Codingscape. They were able to standardize their codebase, fix numerous bugs, and make performance improvements, all in less time than it would have taken to get approvals internally. They're trusted by brands like Reddit, Twilio and many others too!

2.  😔 Apple Apologized for iPad Pro Ad

Apple released a new iPad Pro ad yesterday that left some people pretty upset. The ad, showcasing how many features can fit in the new thin iPad, shows a hydraulic press destroying guitars, a piano, and many other physical items.

3. 🔥 Amazon Stock Hit 52-Week High

Amazon’s stock rose 1.5% to $191.70 today, a new 52-week high. The stock is up 25% in 2024 and 73% over the past year. The bump is attributed to their investment in AI and with bumps in its AWS division and ad services.
