Apparently, AI agents need a social media platform to connect with one another. Thus, Moltbook was born, a Reddit-style social network exclusively for OpenClaw agents . While the powerful agentic capabilities are alluring, OpenClaw raises serious cybersecurity and privacy concerns . To be useful, the AI requires deep access to user data including login credentials to banks, billing companies, soc…

Prototyping is my favorite part of programming. I like building new stuff and getting things working. It’s no surprise, then, that I am a big fan of MongoDB and NoSQL in general. Don’t get me wrong: I’ve always appreciated SQL for what it is. The intoxicating smoothness of using MongoDB in JavaScript just swept me off my feet. Led by the dynamic PostgreSQL team, SQL has recently orchestrated an i…

OpenAI is reportedly developing a code hosting platform that could compete with Microsoft’s GitHub, a move that would put the AI company in direct competition with one of its most important partners. The idea was explored after engineers experienced service disruptions that made GitHub temporarily unavailable in recent months, according to a report from The Information . If OpenAI turns the proje…

The WebAssembly Component Model , an architecture for building interoperable WebAssembly libraries, applications, and environments, is being touted as a way to elevate Wasm beyond its current status as “a second-class language for the web.” The WebAssembly Component Model , in development since 2021, would provide critical capabilities for WebAssembly, according to a February 26 blog post from Mo…

If there’s one universal experience with AI-powered code development tools, it’s how they feel like magic until they don’t. One moment, you’re watching an AI agent slurp up your codebase and deliver a remarkably sharp analysis of its architecture and design choices. And the next, it’s spamming the console with “ CoreCoreCoreCore ” until the scroll-back buffer fills up and you’ve run out of tokens…

For decades, web architecture has followed a familiar and frankly exhausting pattern. A dominant approach emerges, gains near-universal adoption, reveals its cracks under real-world scale, and is eventually replaced by a new “best practice” that promises to fix everything the last one broke. We saw it in the early 2000s, when server-rendered, monolithic applications were the default. We saw it ag…

I was talking about the astonishing rise of AI-assisted coding with my friend Josh recently, and he said he was going to miss the craftsmanship aspect of actually writing code. Now, I’m a big believer that software is a craft, not an engineering endeavor. The term “engineering” implies a certain amount of certainty and precision that can never be replicated in software. I’ve never been a big fan …

The Angular team from Google has announced the release of two security updates to the Angular web framework, both pertaining to SSR (server-side rendering) vulnerabilities. Developers are advised to update SSR applications as soon as possible. Patching can help users avoid the theft of authorization headers as well as phishing scams. A bulletin on the issues was published February 28 . One of the…

Looking to accelerate API development via AI, Postman has added AI-native, Git-based API workflows to its Postman API platform. The company also introduced the Postman API Catalog, a central system of record that provides a single view of APIs and services across an organization. The new Postman platform capabilities were announced March 1 . With the new release, Postman’s AI-powered intelligence…

For more than a decade, cloud architectures have been built around a deliberate separation of storage and compute. Under this model, storage became a place to simply hold data while intelligence lived entirely in the compute tier. This design worked well for traditional analytics jobs operating on structured, table-based data. These workloads are predictable, often run on a set schedule, and invo…

.NET’s annual cadence has given the project a solid basis for rolling out new features, as well as a path for improving its foundations. No longer tied to Windows updates, the project can provide regular previews alongside its bug and security fixes, allowing us to get a glimpse of what is coming next and to experiment with new features. At the same time, we can see how the upcoming platform rele…

I’ve watched cloud careers rise and fall with each new wave of tools, from the early “lift-and-shift everything” days to today’s platform engineering, AI-ready data estates, and security-by-default mandates. Through all of it, the role that stays stubbornly in demand is the cloud architect because the hardest part of cloud has never been spinning up resources. The hard part is making hundreds of …

Rust developers are mostly satisfied with the current pace of evolution of the programming language, but many worry that Rust does not get enough usage in the tech industry, that Rust may become too complex, and that the developers and maintainers of Rust are not properly supported. These findings are featured in the Rust Survey Team’s 2025 State of Rust Survey report, which was announced March 2…

For years, one of the cloud’s biggest gifts was that vendors like AWS could take care of the “ undifferentiated heavy lifting ” of managing infrastructure for you. Need compute? Click a button. Need storage? Click another. Need a database? Let someone else worry about the details. The whole point of managed infrastructure was to save most enterprises from spending their days swimming in low-level…

Choosing the right data platform is critical for the modern enterprise. These platforms not only store and protect enterprise data, but also serve as analytics engines that source insights for pivotal decision-making. There are many offerings on the market, and they continue to evolve with the advent of AI. However, five prominent players — Databricks, Snowflake, Amazon RedShift, Google BigQuery,…
