On August 12, 2025, IBM Cloud experienced its fourth major outage since May, resulting in a two-hour service disruption that affected 27 services globally across 10 regions. This “Severity 1” event left enterprise customers locked out of critical resources due...
Nvidia was founded by three chip designers (including Jensen Huang, who became CEO) in 1993. By 1997 they had brought a successful high-performance 3D graphics processor to market; two years later the company invented the GPU (graphics processing unit), which caused a sea...
AI has changed a lot in just two years. In 2023, most companies were experimenting with large language models. These tools helped with writing, research, and support tasks. They were smart, but they waited for instructions and could not take action on their own. In 2025, we...
Go 1.25, the latest version of the Google-developed open source programming language, has been released. The update brings new capabilities including an experimental garbage collector that improves performance, a fix for a compiler bug that could delay pointer checks, and a...

Google has updated its AI-powered database fleet management offering — Database Center — with the capability to monitor self-managed databases running on its own compute virtual machines (VMs). Several enterprises run their databases, such as PostgreSQL and MySQL, on...
Here’s the awkward truth about today’s “smart” AI: It’s great at syntax, mediocre at semantics, and really bad at business context. That last bit matters because most enterprise value hides in the seams—how your organization defines active customer, which...
Amid all the buzz around advanced AI-powered data analytics, one crucial component often goes unnoticed: the metrics layer. This is where metrics creation takes place, the process that defines and manages the metrics that turn data signals into actionable, meaningful...
Software development is a demanding field where changes happen rapidly. Developers are pushed to constantly learn and innovate while simultaneously producing a high volume of code. It’s no surprise that software engineers and other development professionals experience...

Anthropic has expanded the capabilities of its Claude Sonnet 4 AI model to handle up to one million tokens of context, five times its previous limit, enabling developers to process entire codebases or large document collections in a single request. The upgrade, now in public ...
Last week I talked about connascence, a measure of the coupling of code. We all agree that loosely coupled code is good, but what that means isn’t always clear. Connascence helps us reason about how code is coupled. You can’t decouple your code if you don’t understand ...
Svelte introduced the idea of using a compiler to optimize and transform specialized syntax into front-end components. The idea has caught on with a variety of frameworks, including React. In this style of reactive development, using a compiler lets the framework be more...
Rubrik has announced Agent Rewind, software that provides visibility into agent actions and enables enterprises to undo agent mistakes by rewinding changes to applications and data. Announced August 12, Agent Rewind combines Predibase AI infrastructure (acquired by Rubrik in ...

Many modern development teams incorporate devops, site reliability engineering (SRE), and platform engineering—or at least they claim to. But figuring out what each of these buzzwords actually means can be a slippery proposition, and at first glance they cover much of the...
The rapid growth of model catalogs from hyperscalers and third-party providers is creating an environment where the heavy lifting of model hosting, versioning, monitoring, and billing can be outsourced. I appreciate others’ model efforts because they reduce my workload,...
I started my career as an architect and coder working on AI algorithms for image processing, natural language processing, and search. Flash-forward to today, my coding is limited to low-code platforms to perform basic automation, data collection, and other business...
The Rust team has released Rust 1.89.0 stable, an update to the fast and safe programming language that features support for explicitly inferred arguments to const generics. The Rust release team announced the new version on August 7. Developers who have a previous version...
