The Quiet Resurgence of RF Engineering
Starlink's 10x launch surge, 5G's 8-16x RF hardware demand per base station, and EU automotive radar mandates converge to create a critical shortage—73% of EE employers can't fill RF positions—reviving a field that seemed in terminal decline.
2026.17: He Came, He Saw, He Cooked
Apple's leadership passes to John Ternus as Tim Cook exits after 14 years, SpaceX chases a $60B Cursor acquisition to break into AI, and US-China tech decoupling tightens—mature players reshuffling amid geopolitical fragmentation.
SpaceX's $60B Cursor bid signals that AI coding tools are now defense/aerospace strategic infrastructure. At least 2 defense contractors or aerospace companies (from Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, Raytheon, or Palantir) will announce AI coding tool partnerships or internal AI-assisted software development initiatives within 8 weeks.
The SpaceX-Cursor $60B deal will not close at the stated price or structure. The two sources reporting this disagree fundamentally — one says 'agreement to acquire,' the other says 'option to buy by year-end.' At 24x Cursor's last known valuation, the option structure exists precisely because the price is aspirational, not committed. The deal restructures to a lower price, converts to a strategic partnership, or lapses.
Amazon Leo and SpaceX Starlink announce competing enterprise or government connectivity contracts within 90 days, turning satellite internet into a direct proxy war between Bezos and Musk's AI infrastructure ambitions.
