AI has made writing code feel like cheating . The real trouble shows up right after git push . That is the part almost no one is talking about, and it is where most AI-assisted projects quietly die. It is not usually the code that fails. It is everything around it, because the cloud is unforgiving. Developers still run into the same problems they faced before large language models (LLMs) arrived.…

While Amazon Bedrock helps you build and scale generative AI applications, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore provides an enterprise-grade infrastructure and operations layer for deploying and managing AI agents at scale. AgentCore itself is completely agnostic about models, frameworks, and integrations, although its starter kit CLI only supports the most prominent of these. That CLI can generate agents us…

Nvidia has introduced a new reasoning-focused AI model that combines multiple neural network architectures in a bid to improve how enterprise systems handle complex tasks and automation. The company said its Nemotron 3 Super model combines Mamba sequence modeling, transformer attention, and Mixture-of-Experts routing to support so-called “agentic” AI systems that can plan and execute multi-step w…

Databricks has acquired Quotient AI, a provider of AI agent evaluation and training software, to help enterprises scale AI agents in production more reliably. “Quotient AI was built to close the gap in agent evaluation and continual learning,” the company said in a statement, adding that the startup’s technology, infused inside its Genie and Agent Bricks offerings, will help enterprises monitor a…

I’ve asked GPT-5.2, GPT-5.3, Opus 4.6, Sonnet 4.6, and other large language models (LLMs) to help me construct a nuclear weapon. All of them said no. Let’s be clear, my lack of knowledge is not the real barrier to constructing one. The knowledge is public, free, and well-documented. You can read The Manhattan Project’s declassified schematics online. The models know how. But just like Chinese mod…

Oracle has formally refused to restructure control of the Community Edition of MySQL, following a request that it do so from a consortium of database companies providing forks of the database, and from MySQL users. The decision comes after the consortium’s major players, Percona and VillageSQL, met Oracle earlier this month to discuss the changes requested in an online letter in February, which s…

Businesses of all sizes depend on “office” suites for their day-to-day tasks and for collaboration. AI, for its part, promises significant productivity gains for knowledge workers and for anyone who works with documents. According to studies , we spend over half our time using “office” software. And the global market for productivity applications is worth $22.5 billion annually, according to rese…

Ever since Electron’s first release, developers have both rejoiced and lamented. Electron offers a convenient way to package a web-UI application across platforms, with almost exactly the same behavior, UI/UX, and underlying codebase everywhere. But it also imposes a large memory and disk-space footprint, bundling a full copy of a web browser and JavaScript runtime for all the convenience it prov…

The world of software development is changing very rapidly, and agentic coding is the catalyst. And by “very rapidly,” I mean “so fast that things are basically spinning almost out of control.” What a fantastic time to be alive. With Claude Code, I have become (if I do say so myself) a 10x developer . Sometimes it feels like 100x. I find it all thrilling and amazing . For years, I’ve had a few id…

Amazon reportedly convened an engineering meeting Tuesday to discuss “a spate of outages” that are tied to the use of AI tools, according to a report in the Financial Times . “The online retail giant said there had been a ‘trend of incidents’ in recent months, characterized by a ‘high blast radius’ and ‘gen-AI assisted changes’” according to a briefing note for the mandatory meeting, the FT said …

TypeScript 6.0, a planned update to Microsoft’s strongly typed JavaScript variant , has reached the release candidate (RC) stage, with the RC adding type checking for function expressions in generic calls. The last TypeScript release based on the JavaScript codebase, before TypeScript 7.0 introduces a compiler and language service based on the Go language for better performance, TypeScript 6.0 re…

JetBrains has introduced two new tools for AI-assisted software development: Air, an environment for delegating coding tasks to multiple AI agents and running them concurrently, and Junie CLI, an LLM-agnostic coding agent. Both were announced on March 9. Air , in public preview, can be downloaded from air.dev , while Junie CLI , in beta, is accessible at junie.jetbrains.com . Air, now free for Ma…
