As a test I sent a few links to online brands to my wife on WhatsApp. She's on a different IP address and using an iPhone. She doesn't open the links and doesn't normally use those sites. She then gets adverts for them showing up in her Facebook feed. What's going on?

In the era of AI-assisted software development the role of the senior software engineer will shift more to code review, oversight and high-level design. Although AI-assisted code review is coming.
