A portmanteau of “development” and “operations,” devops emerged as a way of bringing together two previously separate groups responsible for the building and deploying of software. In the old world, developers (devs) typically wrote code before throwing it over to the system administrators (operations, or ops) to deploy and integrate that code. But as the industry shifted towards agile developmen…

It was supposed to be a routine Tuesday. Employees trickled into the office of a mid-sized logistics company; some grabbed coffee, others settled at their desks. As they tried to access their shipment-tracking dashboards, schedule pickups, or even log in to the HR portal, critical systems inexplicably went offline. Chaos ensued. The IT team scrambled to diagnose the problem, initially confused be…

Google’s Antigravity development tool for creating artificial intelligence agents has been out for less than 11 days and already the company has been forced to update the known issues pages after security researchers discovered what they say are vulnerabilities. According to a blog from Mindgard , one of the first to discover problems with Antigravity, Google isn’t calling the issue it found a se…

According to a post by Mixpanel CEO Jen Taylor , the incident took place on November 8 when the company “detected a smishing campaign and promptly executed our…

Context engineering has emerged as one of the most critical skills in working with large language models (LLMs). While much attention has been paid to prompt engineering , the art and science of managing context—i.e., the information the model has access to when generating responses—often determines the difference between mediocre and exceptional AI applications. After years of building with LLMs…

Microsoft unveiled its awkwardly named Copilot in Azure back in 2024 . That was followed by the Azure Model Context Protocol Server , called from the GitHub Copilot agent in Visual Studio Code . Now, Microsoft is putting the band back together, with a new Azure Copilot that builds on both earlier projects to deliver a set of useful tools for all parts of the cloud application life cycle: for infr…

Google has updated its Gemini API in support of its recently introduced Gemini 3 AI model. The Gemini API updates, which include simpler controls over thinking, more granular control over multimodal vision processing, and ‘thought signatures’ to improve function calling and image generation, are designed to support Gemini 3’s reasoning, autonomous coding, multimodal understanding, and agentic cap…

When Miqdad Jaffer, product lead at OpenAI, challenged the illusion of ‘just add AI’ earlier this summer, he drew a line between teams crushed by hype and those who turn artificial intelligence into a lasting advantage. “The most durable and defensible moat in AI is proprietary data,” Jaffer wrote. “If your product generates unique structured data every time it is used, you pull further ahead in …

There’s an old joke about the weather in San Francisco: If you don’t like it, just walk three blocks. Or maybe it’s wait fifteen minutes. Either way works. The weather in San Francisco is weird. There’s a similar old joke about web frameworks: If you don’t like the one everyone is using now, just wait 24 hours—a new one will be along. And that wasn’t much of an exaggeration. I know I harp on how …
