OpenAI plans to acquire Ona, a company specializing in secure cloud execution environments. The deal reveals a larger strategy to create AI agents that can continue working for hours or even days without requiring users to stay connected.

The world of software has seen many paradigms come and go, all of which were supposed to revolutionize its development. Still, one of the basic tenets in engineering of there …read more

Yay, Furality is here! I don’t know how many people are coming here vs. to my music site since Furality doesn’t give me any dealer’s den click metrics or whatever, but welcome all the same.

I already posted a Furality-specific entry on the blogpuppet, but since this is what I consider my main website, I guess I’ll cover all my bases! So, here’s another little FAQ.

Who are you, exactly?

I’m…

About a year ago, I published my first app – and I may have some insights and opinions.

The emergence of agent skills — modular, reusable blocks of natural language instructions and metadata — is transforming the developer’s role.

Virgin Atlantic says OpenAI Codex helped developers shrink legacy codebases, improve testing coverage, and dramatically speed up software development during high-pressure airline deployments.

As so many others, I played around with OpenClaw (https://openclaw.ai/). I guess I did not find any revolutionary, but as always, I tried to sketch up how 'my' agent works. So, here we go.

This is an autonomous daily briefing and social posting agent called Owlie42. Owlie42 wakes up at 6:00, reads and processes news using a local LLM (GLM-4.7 via Ollama), stores relevant context in a memory…

An analysis of GitLab’s "Act 2" transition under CEO Bill Staples, examining whether the company can successfully pivot to an AI-native, agentic software delivery model while dismantling the radically transparent, remote-first culture that originally defined its brand and operational success.

OpenAI is bringing Codex to the ChatGPT mobile app, allowing developers to monitor AI coding agents, approve commands, and manage remote development environments from anywhere.

On building software, vibe coding, and what happens to market prices when the barriers fall

A global survey of 636 software development professionals published today finds nearly two-thirds (64%) believe they are achieving at least a 25% increase in developer velocity and productivity using artificial intelligence (AI). Conducted by Jellyfish, a provider of a software engineering intelligence platform, just under a quarter (24%) report there has been a 50% to […]

With the rise of agents, terminal emulators are quickly evolving into a lot more than just interfaces, here's a glimpse into where they're headed!

AI coding tools have advanced rapidly, but most are still designed around the individual developer. Their effectiveness depends heavily on a user’s ability to write understandable prompts, preserve architectural coherence across sessions, and identify areas that require additional work. This model works for some engineers, but it is far less dependable for a large organization’s […]

AI coding agents are becoming more capable, but evaluating them is harder than it looks. Most benchmarks focus on a single dimension of agent capabilities; for instance, the popular SWE-Bench benchmark only focuses on fixing issues on open source Python repositories. Real-world software engineering involves fixing bugs of course, but it is a lot more […]

With industry changes forcing us to re-evaluate what software engineering should be, the retrospection path isn't uniform or unanimous, nor should it be.

But it's also good — Musings about the last year of Roomy development, and more.

AI is reshaping software development by accelerating coding, testing and reviews while reinforcing the need for human judgment and oversight.

A 25-minute session on federated product intake became quite popular in the recently concluded edition of Developerweek 2026, which was held at the San Jose Convention Center, in Downtown San Jose, California. If you work in the platform engineering or Commerce team, you know how difficult the product launches are. The systems used are outdated in most companies and many of these leverage legacy…

The CNCF TOC has voted to accept Tekton as an incubating project. As a Kubernetes-native framework for CI/CD, Tekton enables developers to build, test, and deploy across clouds by treating pipelines as standard K8s resources. Originally part of Knative, it now offers a modular ecosystem including Triggers and Chains for supply chain security, integrating deeply with Argo CD and Sigstore.

GitLab is pushing agentic AI deeper into development workflows with version 18.10, but developers may question whether they actually need it.

Cursor's four cofounders became billionaires in 2025 selling an AI code editor that hit $1 billion in annualized revenue by November. Three months later, they held an all-hands meeting with slides titled "War Time."

Over the holiday break, the company's own engineers had tested Anthropic's Opus 4.5 and found that the model could write code well enough to skip human review. — Read the rest…

Chrome will ship stable releases every two weeks starting in September 2026. With AI accelerating software development, some may wonder why not weekly or even daily updates.

Generative AI is transforming software development at remarkable speed. But in a new paper written by two Microsoft executives, Azure CTO Mark Russinovich and Scott Hanselman, VP of the developer community, argue that the AI technology also risks eroding the profession’s training pipeline. In their paper, Redefining the Software Engineering Profession for AI, published in […]

Google ADK adds integrations for GitHub, GitLab, Jira, MongoDB, and seven observability tools. AI agents can now work inside your DevOps toolchain.

Explore how AI coding agents are transforming software development. This article discusses the importance of clear objectives, runnable tasks, and continuous validation in planning to ensure that the transition from idea to production is seamless and efficient. Learn how effective planning and clarity are essential for modern application development.

Program aims to maximize discipline, despair, and time spent not fighting wars

January 2026 has been not only the month of Wikipedia’s anniversary. On 28th January, UNESCO’s headquarters in Paris celebrated the 10th anniversary of the foundation...

DevOps and site reliability engineering (SRE) are complementary strategies that enhance both speed and reliability in software development. While DevOps focuses on collaboration and automation to break down silos between development and operations, SRE emphasizes engineering reliability through metrics and accountability. By integrating both approaches, organizations can foster high-quality…
