Anthropic has launched Claude Security in public beta for Claude Enterprise customers. The tool gives security teams a way to scan entire codebases for vulnerabilities — and generate targeted patches — without the usual back-and-forth that slows down remediation. It’s a meaningful step forward for teams struggling to keep pace with the growing volume and complexity of security threats. And it signals where AI-assisted development is heading next. From Research Preview to Public Beta Claude Security isn’t brand new. Anthropic first released it as Claude Code Security in February, initially limited to Enterprise and Team customers. Since then, hundreds of…

The honest case for Python in connected hardware Here’s the short answer: the best Python libraries for IoT development right now are paho-mqtt, RPi.GPIO, gpiozero, pigpio, Adafruit CircuitPython, PySerial, Pandas, TensorFlow Lite, boto3, and Flask or FastAPI. Pick the right combination and a two-person team can wire a sensor to the cloud in a single sprint. Python isn’t the obvious hero of IoT. It’s interpreted, not compiled. It’s heavier than C. On a bare-metal microcontroller with 256KB of flash, it has no business being there at all. And yet – it keeps showing up. In factory automation scripts, in Raspberry…
You’ve been running a long rsync job or a Python script on a remote server only to watch it die the moment your SSH session drops, and now you need to understand nohup, screen, tmux, and systemd to stop that from ever happening again. You logged out for a second. Maybe your VPN dropped. Maybe your laptop lid closed. Either way, that 4-hour database export you were running is gone, and you’re starting from zero. This happens because Linux ties every process you start in a terminal to that terminal’s session, and when the session ends, the kernel sends a…
The 2025 Stack Overflow Developer Survey ranked Python fourth among the top five languages. It has reached a point where it’s often the main choice for teams that want reliability and long-term scalability for their work. The ecosystem in 2026 is all about picking the right combo of proven libraries and frameworks for your needs. This article focuses on that, as we have compiled the most useful Python libraries you should know about. We also explain how they can be used for actual tasks and when each tool really makes sense.

Most AI coding tools do one thing well: Help developers write code faster. IBM wants to go further than that. The company this week announced the general availability of IBM Bob, an AI development partner built to support the entire software development lifecycle — from planning and design through testing, deployment, and modernization. The timing makes sense. Enterprises have spent the past few years experimenting with AI-assisted coding. Many have seen real productivity gains. But they’ve also run into a familiar wall: speed without structure creates problems. Legacy systems, compliance requirements, and hybrid environments don’t disappear just because your developers…
Arm this week made available a free toolkit for analyzing agentic artificial intelligence (AI) workloads as they are being developed by DevOps and platform engineering teams. Earlier this year, Arm unveiled a 3nm processor based on its Neoverse V3 architecture that is specifically designed for AI workloads. The Arm Performix toolkit provides system-wide analysis across metrics such as memory bandwidth, latency, cache efficiency and CPU utilization for workloads running on that processor. Additionally, Arm has included recipes for testing multiple classes of agentic AI workloads. Developed in collaboration with Microsoft, MongoDB, Redis and SAP, the Arm Performix toolkit surfaces expert…
Materialized lake views (MLVs) in Microsoft Fabric are an effective way to implement medallion architecture declaratively, but once you have a pipeline of MLVs in production, you need visibility into whether they’re current. Fabric’s MLV management area gives you a visual lineage and refresh history, but if you want to build automated alerting, logging, or custom tooling, you need to get that information programmatically. This post walks through one way to do that, using a small demo lakehouse built entirely in a Fabric notebook.Getting lineage from table propertiesWhen you create a materialized lake view, Fabric automatically populates a table property…
PASS Summit East is in one week.I was on the road last week in the UK and then Houston for the Houston AI-lytics event. I had been a little under the weather all week, and when I arrived in Houston, I decided to stay in the hotel and rest. Plus the 6:00 arrival was midnight for my body.I walked next door and got some takeout and then grabbed a beer from the hotel store to relax and get to sleep early. Unfortunately, the bottle needed an opened. Fortunately, I was prepared.This little opener is a piece of swag I got…
Apr 23, 2026 Trivy, KICS, and the shape of supply chain attacks so far in 2026 We caught a malicious image pushed to checkmarx/kics on Docker Hub, the image was quarantined, and we coordinated response with Socket and Checkmarx. This blog walks through what happened and why we believe open, fast collaboration is the key to responding to this new pattern of emerging supply chain attacks. Read now
News JetBrains PHPverse – a community-inspired professional event for PHP developers – returns once more on June 9, 2026. This year, we’re gathering some of the most influential voices in the PHP ecosystem to share their insights on shaping the modern PHP language, the internals of ecosystem tools and frameworks, and the adoption of agentic workflows for shipping PHP code. Expect a one-day event of curated talks, live Q&As with the speakers, several special announcements, and even a few surprises (after all, it’s PHP’s 31st birthday). When: 11:00 am – 3:50 pm UTC on June 9, 2026. Where: Streamed live…
