AI agents have come a long way from chatbots that answer questions. Today’s agents access email, pull records from CRMs, execute code, and take actions across dozens of connected systems. That shift from generating text to doing things in the world creates a very different set of risks — and most development teams aren’t fully equipped to address them.Microsoft is taking a direct run at that problem. The company has open-sourced two new tools — RAMPART and Clarity — designed to make AI safety a continuous engineering practice rather than a one-time checkpoint. Both are available now on GitHub.Testing Agents…

If you’re building a CMS, a documentation portal, or any web app where users type formatted content, picking the right WYSIWYG editor is one of those decisions that saves you weeks of pain later or causes weeks of pain immediately. You want something your users can figure out without a tutorial, something you can drop into a React component or a plain HTML page without fighting 40 npm dependencies, and ideally something that won’t lock you into a SaaS subscription the moment you need a feature past the free tier. That rules out a lot of options fast, and it…
News Ekaterina Valeeva Ekaterina Ryabukha Read this post in other languages: Making software accessible often comes down to removing small but repeated points of friction in everyday workflows. Today, on Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we’re sharing recent improvements in JetBrains IDEs across several areas: compatibility with assistive technologies on various platforms, keyboard navigation, and non-visual feedback. Some of these improvements are already available, and some are coming later this year. You can use the audio player below to listen to this blog post.

Injecting GenAI into applications is deceptively easy. Need a new chatbot backed by an LLM? Grab an OpenAI API key and you can throw together an MVP in an afternoon. This is the pattern teams have used to push AI features into apps for the last few years.The problem, as with previous tech hype cycles, is the “Day 2” hangover. This is the operational nightmare where the telltale signs of architectural debt appear. Once these apps hit production, reality bites: you wake up to a $10,000 bill because some logic went rogue, or you discover that 50 different developers have…
Now that we have our basic ralph loop in place, let’s make it feel a lot less…
What problem is Fabric Ontology trying to solve?For years, most data conversations have started with tables. We ask where the data lives, what columns are available, how the joins work, and whether the data is in a warehouse, lakehouse, semantic model, or some other system. That makes sense, because tables are how most of us have worked with data for decades. But tables are not how the business thinks.A business thinks in terms of customers, products, orders, shipments, assets, flights, runways, employees, policies, and actions. The problem is not usually a lack of data. The problem is a lack of…
OpenTelemetry just hit graduated status at the CNCF, and the timing matters more than the milestone itself. After years of consolidating what used to be OpenTracing and OpenCensus, the project has quietly become the default way modern applications emit traces, metrics and logs — right as the industry is staring down a new wave of workloads that will generate more telemetry than anything that came before.Mike Vizard sits down with Chris Aniszczyk of the CNCF to dig into why graduation is less of a finish line and more of a starting point. Aniszczyk’s argument is that OTel’s real value isn’t…
