Andrew Swerdlow shares how Roblox scales autonomous software development from prompt to production. He discusses building robust security sandboxes, extracting institutional knowledge via code review exemplars, updating engineering infrastructure, and redefining productivity metrics around feature velocity and long-running AI turns to achieve trusted, automated deployment at scale.

Asgaut Mjølne Söderbom and Ola Hast discuss the evolution of their software engineering practices past continuous deployment and pair engineering. The conversation continues where it left off in the previous episode and focuses on the experiments in adopting Claude Code and the reasons why they consider it good for everything else, but not coding. By Asgaut Mjølne Söderbom, Ola Hast
Shift-left and DevOps have impacted how we flow changes from inception to production, but at the cost of increased cognitive load and duplication of effort across testing, security, and maintenance. This article explores the real-world challenges of rightsizing developer platforms and finding a cultural match for engineering teams who use them to reduce cognitive load and deliver change faster. By John Keates
JDK 27, the second non-LTS release since JDK 25, has reached its first release candidate phase featuring a final set of nine new features, in the form of JEPs, that can be separated into four categories: Core Java Library, HotSpot, Security Library and Java Language Specification. We examine JDK 27 and predict what features have, or could be, targeted for JDK 28. By Michael Redlich
Cloudflare recently open-sourced Cloudflare OS. It allows enterprise teams to output work artifacts grounded in enterprise knowledge, know-how, and provisioned connectors, automate repetitive workflows with optimized token cost (with AI assistance only where needed), and build personal, shareable, customizable work software that caters to specific, complex use cases within a secure sandboxed model By Bruno Couriol
Google is introducing HEIR (Homomorphic Encryption Intermediate Representation), an open-source compiler and development toolchain designed to make encrypted computation easier to deploy. In particular, HEIR can compile pre-trained AI models built for conventional, unencrypted inputs so they can instead operate on encrypted data. By Sergio De Simone
OVHcloud will raise prices from September, with 2026-edition gaming servers up 87 percent and other recent servers 40 to 59 percent. Founder Octave Klaba says memory cost six times more in June than a year earlier, as RAM suppliers shifted capacity toward high-bandwidth memory for AI. AWS, buying years ahead, has repriced one reserved GPU product. By Steef-Jan Wiggers
Security researcher Christopher Domas developed skitter-creek-bath-salts, an open-source hardware security tool that disrupts CPU privilege boundaries by manipulating memory controller translation registers. This allows unprivileged software to access protected memory regions, revealing a vulnerability in modern processor architectures that could affect cloud and confidential computing security. By Olimpiu Pop
Cloudflare recently introduced Kitesurf, a lightweight browser built for automated workloads. Kitesurf runs browser components in isolated WebAssembly/Rust environments on Cloudflare Workers and supports the Chrome DevTools Protocol, allowing tools such as Playwright and Puppeteer to drive it with lower resource overhead than a full Chromium browser.

Bruna Pereira explains how DoorDash built a content-agnostic AI moderation platform. She covers replacing costly LLM-only pipelines with a hybrid pattern: using fast internal models to filter obvious cases, LLM multi-axis scoring for nuanced decisions, and no-code workflows with backtesting. Discover how this architectural pattern cut safety incidents while scaling to millions of daily messages. By Bruna Pereira
At LinkedIn's scale, relying solely on human reviewers or simply putting an off-the-shelf AI reviewer in front of GitHub is not an effective way to manage PRs. To address this, LinkedIn engineers built a multi-agent AI code review platform that understands the organization’s coding context, treats code review as production infrastructure, and minimizes hallucinations and low-signal feedback. By Sergio De Simone
AWS has released aws-bench, an open-source benchmark for evaluating AI agents on real AWS tasks such as misconfigurations and infrastructure provisioning. Unlike traditional benchmarks, it uses real resources in disposable AWS accounts, scoring agent performance through automated verifiers. By Gianmarco Nalin
