AI Is Breaking Developers’ Traditional Game Testing Playbook
Game testing has always been an unpredictability problem for developers. Players move in the wrong direction, trigger events out of order, or combine mechanics no designer anticipated. Even so, developers could usually define the rules governing the world and check whether the game followed them. AI is making that harder. NPCs now react to changing […]
GitHub Slams the Brakes on Private Vulnerability Reports
Drowning in AI-generated bug reports? GitHub has a radical answer: Stop accounts from reporting them. GitHub’s new limits on bug reports aren’t a solution to the AI bug-report flood. Anything but! They’re an admission that the traditional security-disclosure workflow, with human maintainers in the loop, simply doesn’t scale. The scarce resource is no longer discovering […]

Open Source Mod Brings Rate Limits, Costs and CI Status Into View for Claude Code Users
Claude Statuspane gives developers real-time visibility into Claude Code context use, rate limits, costs and CI status, highlighting a growing need for agent observability.
How to Move AI SRE Agents From Demo to Production
An AI agent that works on an engineer’s laptop can feel like a breakthrough. It can read logs, query observability tools, inspect cloud resources and connect a failed deployment to a bad configuration change in minutes. For a single investigation, under close human supervision, that is real progress. It is also the easy part. The […]
Base44 Unveils AI Platform to Transform Application Development
Base44 this week unfurled a cloud-based platform that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to foster greater collaboration between software engineers, application designers and product management teams. Yoav Orlev, chief product officer for Base44, said at the core of the Base Code platform is a harness the company developed that enables multiple AI models to be used […]
The DevOps Standard Gives Teams a Shared Model for Software Delivery
A release can pass every pipeline check and still leave an organization uncertain about whether to proceed. Security evidence may exist in another system, the recovery plan may be incomplete, and nobody may own the final decision. The difficulty lies in how the delivery system connects its capabilities and responsibilities. The new DEVOPS INSTITUTE Official […]
From Software Supply Chains to AI Vulnerabilities: Why Neither Solves Enterprise Linux Security
For nearly a decade, cybersecurity has been dominated by one overarching concern: securing the software supply chain. Organizations invested heavily in Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs), artifact signing, provenance frameworks, reproducible builds, and vulnerability scanners capable of identifying compromised dependencies before software reached production. The software supply chain became the industry’s focal point, accelerated by […]
IBM Moves Its Bob Coding Agent Inside the Firewall
Plenty of enterprises want AI coding agents. Fewer are willing to send their source code to someone else’s cloud to get them. That tension has slowed adoption at banks, insurers, government agencies and other organizations that build software under strict rules about where code and data can live. IBM is betting a self-hosted option will […]
AWS AI Agent Surfaces Recommendations to Optimize Cloud Computing Environments
Amazon Web Services (AWS) today made available a preview of an artificial intelligence (AI) agent that surfaces recommendations to optimize cost, security, performance and resilience based on the business objectives an organization defines. Jill Fariss, vice president of AWS Support, said the AWS Well-Architected Agent generates code that can be implemented via a command line […]
DevOps Dozen 2026 Nominations Are Open: Recognizing the People and Technology Moving DevOps Forward
When we launched the DevOps Dozen in 2015, we wanted to recognize the people, projects and companies helping this community move forward. We saw the work happening across DevOps every day at DevOps.com. The awards gave our readers a chance to tell us who deserved recognition. Eleven years later, there is a lot more ground […]
Introducing Futurum Media: Why Futurum, Why Now?
Techstrong, Tech Field Day and Visible Impact come together, backed by the research, intelligence and expertise of The Futurum Group.
Survey Surfaces Sharp Increase in Amount of Code Written by AI
A global survey of 705 developers and IT leaders finds 42% of respondents reporting that artificial intelligence (AI) now writes at least half their code, with only 21% of developers now spending more than half their week writing new code from scratch. Conducted by BairesDev, a provider of software development services, the survey also finds […]
A Semicolon in a Branch Name Was All It Took to Steal an AI Agent’s GitHub Token
AI coding agents don’t just suggest code anymore. Tools like OpenAI’s Codex spin up a real container, clone a real repository, and authenticate with a real GitHub credential to get the job done — which means every agent your team wires up is also a new privileged identity, holding real access, running with comparatively little […]
Perforce Applies Machine Learning to Generate Synthetic Data for App Testing
Perforce Software has added a tool that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to make it simpler for application development teams to generate synthetic data for application testing purposes. Mayank Ahluwalia, a senior product manager for Perforce Delphix, said Delphix Synthetic Data makes use of machine learning algorithms to generate synthetic data for specific use cases. It […]
AWS Benchmark Aims to Reduce Number of False Positives Found by AI Vulnerability Scanners
Amazon Web Services (AWS) has developed a benchmark that can be used to test whether a model can distinguish real vulnerabilities from code that looks risky but is actually safe. The Deception Benchmark was created following an evaluation of the capabilities of 12 models from five different providers. In all, the benchmark includes 14,822 samples […]
Git 2.56 Takes Aim at Messy Merges, Slow Diffs and Branch Sprawl
Git 2.56 improves merge safety, speeds up large-repository operations and adds cleanup tools that could prove especially useful for AI coding agents and busy DevOps teams.
env zero Previews Control Plane for Agentic DevOps Workflows
env zero’s EZ Control introduces an agentic DevOps control plane that detects infrastructure drift, applies policy-driven remediation and keeps automated changes attributable, reversible and auditable.
Docker Introduces Open Sandbox Kit Spec for AI Agent Permissions
AI agents are getting good at probing the boundaries developers put around them. Their ability to improvise makes them hard to contain. “You ask for something in a very high-level, vague-at-best way. You walk away, and you come back to a remarkable pile of mostly working software. But you then realize that you gave a […]
Survey: Lack of Confidence in Software Supply Chain Security Runs High
A survey of 400 platform and security engineers in the U.S and United Kingdom (UK), finds nearly three quarters (73%) are either only moderately confident (58%) or not confident (15%) in the ability of their existing tools for managing software artifacts to prevent attacks against their organization’s software supply chain. Conducted by Cloudsmith, a provider […]
DHH Declares End of Hand-Writing Code at Rails World 2026
Controversial developer David Heinemeier Hansson (aka DHH) announced last week at Rails World 2026 that the end of handwritten code is upon us, calling it the modern era’s “Brownie” moment. The moment to which he referred was when Kodak released its Brownie camera that forever changed the trajectory of photography. In this case, the Brownie […]
