Your Linux server’s network is maxed out, and you have no idea what’s eating it, so here’s how to find the exact program behind it in under 2 minutes using nethogs, iftop, ss, and the /proc filesystem. This happens pretty often. The server starts feeling slow, uploads get stuck at 100 percent, or you notice your cloud bill creeping up without any clear reason. You check top or htop, but everything looks fine because those tools only show CPU and memory, not network usage. So you know something is eating bandwidth, but you cannot actually see what it is. Linux…

I’ve lived through five major technology shifts: mainframe to Windows in the early ‘90s, internet computing in the late ‘90s and early 2000s, Agile in the mid-2000s, cloud through the 2010s, and now AI.You learn things by surviving that many. You learn that vendors oversell. That leadership wants results yesterday. That the breathless predictions almost never land on the calendar that everyone promised. So you learn to discount the hype.And that reflex, the one thing that five shifts trained into me, is the thing I’d warn other veterans about right now.The hype curve lies in both directions. Everyone knows it…

May 12, 2026 Docker AI Governance: Unlock Agent Autonomy, Safely Introducing Docker AI Governance: centralized control over how agents execute, what they can reach on the network, which credentials they can use, and which MCP tools they can call, so every developer in your company can run AI agents safely, wherever they work. Your laptop is the new prod Agents are the biggest productivity unlock… Read now
New Relic has made available an open source extension to its observability platform for coding tools at no additional cost.Nic Benders, chief technical strategist for New Relic, said the New Relic AI Coding Observability capability will make it simpler for DevOps teams to centrally monitor usage of a diverse range of artificial intelligence (AI) coding tools, including the cost of the tokens consumed, using the same platform they already have to observe IT operations.Regardless of the type of AI coding tool employed, New Relic AI Coding Observability normalizes the data collected, he added.That capability makes it possible for organizations to…

Terminal-based coding assistants for AI-curious developers are hot these days, and the most popular choice appears to be Claude Code. But Anthropic’s commercial offering has a new open source rival: MiMo Code, released under an MIT license by Chinese smartphone giant Xiaomi. Unlike Claude Code, MiMo Code is not restricted to a specific LLM provider. It was also optimized for “long-horizon automated programming tasks,” according to the introductory blog entry. The software aims to “maintain decision quality and state continuity over dozens or even hundreds of execution steps.”The AI community has taken notice of this release. Since its v0.1 release last…
AI coding agents can create a new code execution risk when they treat externally influenced error data as trusted guidance and have access to command line tools, according to new research from Tenet Security.The security company demonstrated an indirect prompt injection technique it calls “Agentjacking” in a recent report. In its proof of concept, an attacker planted malicious instructions inside a fake Sentry error report, causing an AI coding agent to execute an attacker-supplied command during a routine debugging task.The attack began with a Sentry Data Source Name (DSN), a credential commonly embedded in a website’s frontend JavaScript. Sentry treats…
You paste a slow Redshift query plan into PlanTrace and one of the tuning insights reads “SORTKEY optimization candidate”, pointing at an explicit sort step that’s adding cost you don’t need to pay. A sort step runs at query time, every time, and on a wide table with millions of rows it can dominate the total cost. The fix is usually a SORTKEY that matches what the query is sorting on.What an explicit sort step actually isWhen your query has an ORDER BY, a window function, or a merge join that needs ordered input, Redshift has two options. If the data is…
