The Japanese yen has given back nearly half its recent gains. Traders now watch the 160 level with rising unease. Intervention bought time. It did not fix the fundamentals.

Joseph Heck stared at his screen last week and wondered what it really means to call yourself a software engineer anymore. The internet overflows with claims about agentic systems that write code, fix bugs, and supposedly replace teams. Yet his latest piece on Rhonabwy.com cuts through that noise with a simple assertion: the basics of

PayPal finds itself at a crossroads. Once the undisputed leader in digital payments, the company now weighs an offer from a younger rival and a buyout firm.
