You will not find a smokestack on any CI/CD pipeline, nor a carbon meter in the corner of your screen to pass quiet judgment on the build. Yet the energy use is no less real.  Every server running a test suite, every virtual machine at work on some compilation, every container image that is stored is an electricity consumer. Multiply that by the thousands of pipelines a development team puts through the system in a month and the costs mount up.

Microsoft is preparing the next major update to Windows 11, version 26H2, with a strong emphasis on productivity, security, and system management rather than major visual redesigns. The update introduces practical improvements, including greater taskbar customization, a refined Start menu, enhanced Windows Update controls, and a new Administrator Protection feature designed to reduce the risks associated with elevated user privileges.

Emergent has raised $70 million in new funding as it looks to accelerate the adoption of no-code software development across enterprise and mid-market organizations. The investment underscores growing demand for platforms that allow non-technical users to build, deploy, and scale applications without writing traditional code.

When one of your developers would jump out of his well worn chair, hand grabbing his hair and screaming “The server is down!!” - it meant exactly one thing: a very real, very physical machine was catching on fire in a rack somewhere, waiting for an engineer to put out the flames and bring it back to life. You could kick it, reboot it, or bribe it with a fresh config file. But in the serverless era, that comforting ritual has vanished. Now it’s less “find the broken server” and more “solve the my

Forward-thinking organizations are solving this problem by shifting compliance left and embedding it directly into the CI/CD pipeline. The result is a model where security and compliance are not checkpoints at the end, but continuous, automated processes that run alongside development. The question on everyone’s mind is - How can DevSecOps teams automate compliance within CI/CD pipelines, enabling continuous validation, faster delivery, and stronger security outcomes?

In theory, the cloud is sleek, elastic, and endlessly efficient. In practice, it often behaves more like a garage stuffed with forgotten boxes labeled “might need later.”

A newly released industry survey from Infragistics found that 57% of technology leaders now identify AI integration as the biggest challenge facing software development organizations, a substantial increase over previous years.

There is something about software bugs that makes them appear at precisely the wrong time. You are in the thick of development and everything is going well. The build is good, the demo was a success, morale is high. But then an accountant hits a button no one put to the test, or a customer tries to upload a file with some odd name, and before you know it the support team is in for a long afternoon. In a way it is like a leaky roof. Spot the problem on a clear day and you can fix it in a jiffy. T

When people think of Ethical AI, what may come to mind is robots asking themselves important questions like, “Humans have no use, but is it right to just get rid of them, or should we just let them kill each other off?” Serious Robot questions aside, there is no denying that AI (Artificial Intelligence) has become the overachiever in the tech world. It is behind the content you read, the products you are sold, fraud detection, medical image analysis and much more. On occasion it will even seem t

There has been a refrain in the business world for years: gather more data, put it in storage, run the analysis, and then do it all over again with even more.  In some quarters it was like a sport. Every sensor update, support ticket, machine reading and customer click was funneled into an ever-expanding database. And to be fair, the approach had its merits. For a time, bigger datasets were the surest way to build better AI.

Like a snake slithering in the grass, Technical Debt has an uncanny ability to stay hidden - until it suddenly does not. It rarely announces itself with flashing warnings or dramatic system failures. Instead, it shows up as small annoyances: a feature that takes longer than expected, a bug that “should have been simple,” or a release that feels riskier than it used to.

As kids, we were basically tiny demolition experts with no formal training. We broke toys, snapped bike chains, shattered lamps, and occasionally our own bones. Sometimes by accident, and sometimes for fun to see what would happen. And every adult in the…

Microsoft has announced a significant expansion of its GitHub Copilot platform, introducing new enterprise-focused capabilities aimed at improving developer productivity and code quality.

Amazon Web Services has unveiled a new set of features designed to simplify serverless application development, reinforcing its position as a leader in cloud-native infrastructure. The updates focus on improving developer experience, observability, and performance across serverless workloads.

Collateralized loan obligation (CLO) managers, who have historically played a major role in funding software firms, are now scaling back investments in the sector. Software-related loans currently make up a significant portion of CLO portfolios, but declining confidence has led to reduced demand and increased risk premiums.

It is hard to believe, but the art of shopping on-line started over 40 years ago, with the introduction of early technology like Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and teleshopping in the 1970s paving the way for the modern-day E-commerce store and our accompanying empty wallets.
