In software development as in any aspect of business, time is money. Shortening development time to bring new applications to market is the goal of all commercial developers. Similarly, streamlining the development of custom software to optimize business processes can mean big savings. That's why more organizations are turning to coding shortcuts like artificial intelligence (AI) to slash development time ...
DevOps and security teams have long understood the challenge of insider threats. These threats typically involve employees, contractors, or partners with legitimate access whose actions compromise system integrity. It's time to expand this definition now that a new insider has appeared ...
When was the last time you actually looked at the API calls in your codebase? Not the ones you wrote yourself, but the ones quietly generated by your AI assistant. Do you know where they point? Are they hitting a test server? Did they skip authentication? Are they leaking something in error responses? You start asking these questions after something goes wrong (and no one knows why) ... The thing is, generative AI (GenAI) is excellent at speeding up how we write code, but it could become a major concern if not thoroughly checked ...
Artificial intelligence tools are becoming essential to software development, and developers find themselves at a crossroads. On the one hand, they're adopting AI faster than ever, using it to streamline tasks, enhance productivity, and drive innovation. On the other hand, there is growing distrust and frustration with AI's outputs, particularly with those handling critical tasks ...
A recent Palo Alto Networks report highlights the dual nature of GenAI tools: their success in areas like writing, testing, and deploying code, and the new risks they introduce, such as data exposure and malicious code generation.

The joy of coding isn't dead. But it's harder to find. Talk to most developers today, and you'll hear it — under the automation, the tooling, the race to ship. Something's missing. They're producing more than ever. But enjoying it less. It's not a productivity problem. It's a purpose problem. We've changed how software is built, but we haven't updated how developers experience the work. The role has shifted from creators to curators, from coders to conductors, and until we acknowledge that shift and design for it, we'll keep losing what once made the work meaningful ...
If you hired a junior developer who made up package names at a rate of 20%, how long would they last? Let's say they work 24/7, take negative feedback without blinking, and write code faster than anyone you've ever met. Does that change the equation? ... The Cloudsmith Artifact Management Survey 2025 showed that, when speaking to developers using AI, 42% said their codebase was now mostly AI-generated. Without thorough reviews, that's a big problem for anyone in the organization in charge of the CI/CD pipeline ...
