Symbiotic Security, this week, launched a tool that leverages a large language model (LLM) specifically trained to identify vulnerabilities via a chatbot as application developers write code.Company CEO Jérôme Robert said Symbiotic Security version 1 reduces the current level of DevSecOps friction that exists by identifying issues long before flawed code finds its way into a production environment.Unlike a general-purpose large language model (LLM) that has been trained using samples of code randomly collected from across the web, the LLM created by Symbiotic Security has been trained using a proprietary dataset to provide more accurate results, including snippets of code that…

OpenAI is in talks to acquire Windsurf for about $3 billion, a move that would put the ChatGPT maker squarely in competition with artificial intelligence (AI) coding assistant providers that include Anysphere, which OpenAI backed from its startup fund.The acquisition, which would be OpenAI’s largest to date, comes after it reportedly approached Anysphere about a possible sale, according to a CNBC report. Last month, Anysphere was in discussions to raise funding at a valuation of close to $10 billion.When things didn’t pan out, OpenAI pivoted to Windsurf. The latter negotiation was first reported by Bloomberg.In recent days, rumors have pinged…
DevOps.com is now providing a weekly DevOps jobs report through which opportunities for DevOps professionals will be highlighted as part of an effort to better serve our audience.Our goal in these challenging economic times is to make it just that much easier for DevOps professionals to advance their careers.Of course, the pool of available DevOps talent is still relatively constrained, so when one DevOps professional takes on a new role, it tends to create opportunities for others.The five job postings shared this week are selected based on the company looking to hire, the vertical industry segment and naturally, the pay…
Heroku, a subsidiary of Salesforce, is piloting support for inference capabilities within its platform-as-a-service (PaaS) environment in addition to tightening the level of integration it provides with artificial intelligence (AI) agents developed by its parent company.Betty Junod, chief marketing officer for Heroku, said the Managed Inference and Agents (MIA) and AppLink capabilities being added to the platform will make it simpler for application development teams to build and deploy AI applications without having to build entire environments themselves.Additionally, Heroku is now piloting an ability to publish events via a centralized hub that can be subscribed to by multiple application services.Finally,…
If you’ve ever tried to delete a file or directory in Linux using the rm command and saw the error: rm: cannot remove ‘file-or-directory’: Device or resource busy Don’t worry, this is a common issue that simply means that the file or directory you’re trying to remove is currently being used by the system or by a currently running process. Why This Error Happens When you see the message “device or resource busy”, it means that the file or directory is currently being used. Linux prevents you from deleting files that are in use to avoid breaking things or causing…
Angular 19.2 brought an experimental new API called httpResource. I published a tutorial about rxResource a few months ago, and httpResource is a new, more polished layer on top of that.Let’s start with the basics. Signals are slowly making their way across all APIs of the Angular framework, which begs the question: How do we use the Angular HttpClient with Signals, since the HttpClient returns an Observable?A simple answer would be to use the toSignal function:signal = toSignal(this.http.get(“http://mydata.com”));While the above works, it doesn’t help us know:Is the data loaded / loading?Did we get an error while making that request?The resource…
The tech world is buzzing with two transformative trends — artificial intelligence (AI) and sustainability. As machine learning (ML) powers everything from predictive analytics to autonomous systems, its environmental footprint is growing. Cloud data centers powering ML workloads consume vast amounts of energy, contributing to significant carbon emissions. Enter MLOps for Green AI: A fusion of machine learning operations (MLOps) and sustainable DevOps practices that promise to make AI not just smarter, but greener. With over 18 years in IT and a deep focus on DevOps, I have seen firsthand how cloud infrastructure can be a double-edged sword — unlocking innovation while straining resources.…
I was on the epicgames.com website the other day, signing up so I could relive my Magic: The Gathering glory days with Arena. While doing that I saw their style for modal dialogs and thought I should try to re-create that with because apparently I’m both of those types of nerd. It’s a This thing came up on top of other content, so that alone makes it appropriate for the HTML element. We’ll use that. No Taller than Viewport It’s not absolutely required that the entire needs to be shorter than the viewport. If it’s taller, you just need to…

Observability — the ability to measure and understand the internal state of a system by analyzing the data it produces — has come a long way in the past 15 years. Companies such as Dynatrace have led the charge, helping businesses transform how they monitor and manage their systems. At the recent KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025 conference, Alois Mayr, senior principal product manager at Dynatrace, shared his insights on the evolution of observability and how artificial intelligence (AI) is now reshaping it. The Evolution of Observability When Mayr first joined Dynatrace nearly two decades ago, observability was a nascent concept. Back…
