Software engineering end to end: languages, data, infra, and security, with AI wherever it enters the work of people who write code. Always with code and examples, never just the news.
An issue opened in Postman's official repository shows the desktop app installing AI plugins in agents like Codex and Claude Code without asking for consent, and approving on its own the hook it created itself.

Marvell announced the purchase of Lumentum, a maker of optical chips, in a deal valued at up to $115 billion. It is the company's fourth acquisition in photonics since December 2025, a move that concentrates in few hands the technology that connects AI data centers.
A report by the Chinese newspaper STAR Market Daily, published on November 3, says DeepSeek is considering using Huawei's Ascend processors to train the V5 model, not just to run inference as it does today.
An experiment published on CSS-Tricks uses two new CSS functions, if() and sibling-index(), to recreate the logic of :nth-child() with variables that change in real time, without touching the selector.
A model had a calculator available and still failed at some basic math problems. The calculator worked perfectly, but the problem was the model knowing when to use the tool and what information to pass to it.
A Percona proof of concept tests a tiering layer in front of a saturated MongoDB replica set, without changing the application, and measures gains of up to 5.2x in operations per second.
New open source project eliminates the code rewrite that was blocking TPU adoption for PyTorch developers, with tests on 5,000 Hugging Face models and benchmarks on TPUv7 chips.
A post by Russian developer @1endstick, viral on Habr since November 1st, argues that AI won't mass-lay off programmers, but will level salaries and hollow out exactly the comfortable mid-career range in IT.
The company created a central layer for discovery, authorization, and execution to keep AI agent adoption from turning into a mess of duplicated integrations and loose permissions.
Study published in October 2026 shows that contaminating a minimal fraction of the pretraining corpus is enough to plant a remote-execution backdoor in LLM-based command-line agents.
Vercel added an interactive card to its MCP server that shows a deployment's status, logs, and commit directly inside ChatGPT and other MCP Apps-compatible clients, without needing to open the dashboard.
Meituan's multimodal model has joined the Vercel AI Gateway catalog, with a 1 million token context window for code, documents, and long agent workflows.
As of November 2, 2026, GitHub's code and secret risk assessments flag whether each finding sits in a protected repository or not, making it easier to prioritize where to reinforce coverage.
The sys.schema_unused_indexes view only sees the server it's queried on. A Percona tool cross-checks results across the primary and replicas before suggesting any removal DDL.
In October 2026, attacks on three Yandex data centers took down the infrastructure of a client of KTS, a Russian DevOps consultancy. Infrastructure as code, living documentation, and backups tested in advance kept the team from rebuilding from scratch.
Fortanix connected its attestation and key management service to the CNCF's Confidential Containers project, releasing secrets only to verified pods inside hardware enclaves. For teams running AI models on shared Kubernetes, this takes the job of building that trust layer from scratch off their plate.
DeepSeek's Harness team has open-sourced dsh-superagent, a research prototype that takes development requests via GitHub (and optionally Feishu) and returns ready pull requests. The project is MIT-licensed and grew out of the team's own internal workflow.
A technical article on the Awide Labs blog details how Polar Proxy sends reads from an open PostgreSQL transaction to a replica without losing snapshot, locks, or read committed consistency.
Trigger.dev confirmed this Sunday (November 1) that an attacker accessed environment variables belonging to a subset of customer organizations; the company says it has blocked the flaw and notified affected users by email.
China's Meituan unveiled LongCat-2.5 on November 2, a multimodal model with 1.6 trillion parameters trained to sustain long coding tasks with AI agents.
The company now pre-computes with AI the items customers typically reorder, instead of recalculating everything with every order. The result: less waiting, more completed orders.
In an interview with The Data Exchange podcast, Leo de Moura, creator of Lean and VP at AWS, explains how AI models now translate code from any language into machine-checked mathematical proofs, from compression libraries to cryptography libraries.
A real-world test on PostgreSQL 18.6 shows what DROP TABLE actually costs in locks, WAL, and replicas, based on a case GitLab brought to PGConf.EU in Valencia. The right answer almost always involves partitioning before deleting.
Andy Jassy confirms that large blocks of AWS capacity are largely sold out through 2027, with part of 2028 already allocated. The company says it keeps room for on-demand EC2 and Bedrock, but developers are already reporting queues for common instances.
Percona Operator for MySQL 1.3.0 now tunes MySQL configuration based on pod size, recovers lost transactions during asynchronous cluster failures, and encrypts the binlogs used for point-in-time recovery.
The Vercel Plugin, available in the Antigravity marketplace (Google's agentic IDE), gives AI agents guidance on Vercel APIs and patterns, including an example Python backend deployed via Vercel Sandbox.
As of October 27, 2026, GitHub Apps installed in organizations can call the Copilot SDK with their own identity, without depending on a logged-in user to authenticate or foot the bill.
Testing agents before deploy, designing for users who aren't human, and distrusting a benchmark run by its own author: the thread of the week.
