Our company is both owned and has 13 banks as customers, so they both own us and they're our customers. So we can organise ourselves as a tech company.

Building this platform required solving extraordinarily complex engineering challenges. We're not just sending emails - we're orchestrating an entire ecosystem of domain management, inbox creation, deliverability optimization, and AI-driven decision making across multiple legacy systems with limited APIs.

95% of developers now rely on AI‑assisted tooling to accelerate their workflows and catch critical bugs before they ship, indicating a significant shift towards AI solutions in software development.

Black Duck Assist now integrates with IDEs like Eclipse and Visual Studio, as well as AI code editors, to ensure software is free of vulnerabilities.

A technical design document template is a pre-built structure that outlines how a system, feature, or product will function before any code is written.

"High Volume Automated Testing (HiVAT) takes the idea that automation changes the very concept of how tests can be created, run and evaluated, and extends it to its logical conclusion."

Version 9.4 of .NET Aspire introduces enhancements focused on developer experience, deployment automation, and deeper cloud integration, marking its most significant update to date.

Coupled code refers to a situation where changes in one module directly affect another, causing unexpected consequences or bugs, making maintenance difficult.

Roo Code is an autonomous coding agent that integrates directly with IDEs, allowing developers to build applications through AI without needing to deeply understand the underlying code.

One pervasive assumption in a stubborn codebase is that there's only one way to talk to the database, limiting potential changes and upgrades.

84% of developers now use or plan to use AI in their workflow, but only 33% trust the accuracy of AI outputs. This trust gap reflects real-world experience with AI's limitations.

Cargo now includes an info subcommand to display information about packages in the registry, addressing a long-standing request just shy of its tenth anniversary.

We clustered 91,954 cryptography-related questions on Stack Overflow and manually analyzed 383 to comprehend the crypto challenges developers face. Developers showed a lack of knowledge of fundamental concepts.

GitHub Spark, now available in public preview for Copilot Pro+ subscribers, represents a paradigm shift in how we approach application development. At its core, Spark eliminates the traditional friction points that prevent rapid prototyping and deployment.

"Our report shows that AI adoption is outpacing governance. It's a clear gap - 93% of organizations are using AI but only 7% have fully embedded governance frameworks."

DevProxy (formerly known as Microsoft 365 Developer Proxy) helps developers to add resilience to their API-related code by simulating a vast number of API and network behaviours.

npm has taken down all versions of the real Stylus library and replaced them with a 'security holding' page, breaking pipelines and builds worldwide that rely on the package.

The Microsoft C++ Code Analysis tool has been updated to provide better tracking, justification, and overall management of warning suppressions, leading to a more maintainable code base.

Gemini CLI is a mostly free, open-source, command-line AI workflow tool that connects to your tools, understands your code, and accelerates your workflows.

Replit's AI-assisted tool deleted a production database, ignored instructions to freeze code, and invented data, highlighting the need for strict oversight of powerful tools.
