Everybody agrees the AI code review bottleneck is real. Then go look at the org chart.The AI code review bottleneck is the one thing everybody in this industry currently agrees on. Making things got cheap. Checking them did not. You will hear it in every conference talk and every leadership meeting this year, usually with a slide. And then you go and look at the actual org chart, and there is nobody on it whose job this is. Not a person, not a title, not a line in the budget. We all agree it is the most important work in…

Jul 30, 2026 The Future of Agentic AI Depends on Openness and Trust. That’s Why Docker Is Joining Nvidia’s Open Secure AI Alliance. Docker joins NVIDIA’s Open Secure AI Alliance to help build the security, governance, and trust frameworks that agentic AI systems demand. Read now
Aside from spinning up a SQL Server instance container, the free Azure SQL Database is another great tool for learning SQL. You can even use it for low-traffic or lightweight app. See the documentations for the limits. I will not be responsible for your usage. That said, let’s provision the database.Provision an Azure SQL DatabaseGo to you Azure Portal and search for Azure SQL DatabaseOn the upper left-hand of the UI, click on Create and select SQL database (Free offer).Configuring an Azure SQL Database is pretty much intutive. For the Server option, use an existing SQL Database Server or create…
Most enterprises never fully finished the DevOps transformation they started a decade ago. Agentic coding is now surfacing every place that was left unfinished. Builds still take hours. Test suites are flaky. Releases are still gated by manual steps. An AI coding agent that has to sit idle for eight hours waiting on feedback is not just slow — it is an extremely expensive kind of slow, burning tokens and calendar time on the same pipeline gaps DevOps was supposed to close years ago.Moritz Plassnig, the newly returned CEO of CloudBees, joins Alan Shimel to explain what he saw during…
This tutorial shows you how to install TiDB using TiUP, start a local cluster, connect to it with the MySQL client, and run your first queries on Ubuntu and RHEL-based Linux systems. If you’ve ever struggled to scale MySQL beyond a single write node, TiDB offers a solution without requiring you to learn a new query language. It uses the MySQL protocol, so your existing applications, drivers, ORMs, and even the mysql client work with it. Let’s get TiDB up and running.

OpenAI has released its Codex Security command-line interface and software development kit as open source software under the Apache 2.0 license, providing a new way to bring its AI security scanner into development workflows.The CLI can scan repositories, review staged and unstaged changes before a commit, compare findings across scans and export results for use in other code-scanning tools. Teams can also run it in CI and set a severity threshold that returns a failing status when a completed scan identifies a finding at or above that level. OpenAI recommends starting with advisory results before allowing findings to affect the…
Everyone is arguing about AI and entry level jobs. Almost nobody is watching the other end of the ladder.A few days ago I wrote about a young developer who cannot get past the first interview and cannot tell whether he got worse or the door got narrower. I have not stopped thinking about him. The conversation about AI and entry level jobs is loud, crowded, and mostly correct. The junior work is gone because the machine does it in eight seconds and does not ask about health insurance. But there is a second thing happening at the same time, quietly,…
Not long ago, some business leaders seemed to view enterprise search as a “nice-to-have.” Or, at the very least, they considered it more of a supporting utility than a strategic, business-critical platform.Organizations use enterprise search tools to help employees locate internal documents and enable support teams to surface relevant information. And, of course, retailers have long needed search to help customers navigate their product catalogs. But historically, expectations have been relatively modest: Users entered a few keywords and received a list of links, and then they did the remaining legwork themselves to figure out which results were relevant.It’s little surprise,…
AI coding tools are producing more code, faster, than teams have ever had to absorb before. That productivity story is real, but it comes with a bill that most engineering leaders have not fully paid yet. Technical debt piles up faster. Repetition slips in. Security gaps and quality issues show up in places where nobody was watching, because nobody wrote the code that put them there. Speed alone is not the win it appears to be if the review layer never scales to match.Mike Vizard sits down with Mladen Lazic, CTO of Scopic, to work through what it actually takes…
I wrote earlier this week about the SQL MCP Server using the Data API Builder. In that post I showed how to query the MCP server from VSCode, but I didn’t explain the setup. This post shows how I did that.First, you need to ensure you have access enabled for MCP access. There is a doc on this, though I found it slightly confusing. I think the doc is trying to make this easier as there are public MCP servers available and a bit of a VSCode marketplace. However, that’s not what I wanted.I wanted a local server, using the…
