AI is transforming software engineering. For enterprise Java developers, the key question is whether Java and Jakarta EE are prepared to integrate AI into enterprise applications. The answer is yes.Java and Jakarta EE already support integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI capabilities through existing APIs, libraries, and frameworks. Developers can continue using the enterprise Java ecosystem without waiting for new specifications. Meanwhile, ongoing initiatives are working to standardize AI programming models within Jakarta EE.AI and Software EngineeringAI is changing both how developers build software and what applications can do.AI supports development through code generation, review, testing, documentation, and…

MicroLighter – Master.dev Blog A brand new 2 KB client-side syntax highlighter from Dave. Includes a web component for very easy usage. Maybe these web components have legs, eh? The most interesting part about it is that it doesn’t touch the DOM. It uses the Highlight API to colorize text and TextMate grammars (the same as in VS Code) for the languages. Learn to Work with Web Components Dave Rupert’s course on Web Components will get you entirely up to speed on this powerful native web platform technology. As Dave says, it’s HTML with Superpowers.

TL;DR — Key Takeaways Sonatype identified 91 remediated Spring vulnerabilities affecting 209,569 software components, creating a potentially significant update burden for Java environments. AI is accelerating both vulnerability discovery and exploitation, pushing software vendors to address years of technical debt while forcing DevSecOps teams toward continuous patching. Open source dependencies may become the weak link, as smaller volunteer-maintained projects struggle to produce and test fixes at the speed enterprises increasingly require. A report published by Sonatype identifies more than 91 vulnerabilities that have been remediated in the latest update to the open source Spring framework for deploying Java applications mashed…
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 ten job postings shared this week are selected based on the company looking to hire, the vertical industry segment and naturally, the pay…
Full, differential and log backups are the three things almost every SQL Server DBA can define, and the three things a surprising number of us get wrong under pressure at two in the morning.I’ve been answering the same question for twenty years. Somebody has a full backup, a pile of differentials, and a few hundred log backups, and they want to know which ones go back in and in what order.I wrote it up in July 2009 with a static diagram. That post still gets traffic every single week, which tells you the question never went away.So this time I’ve…
The term “tokenmaxxing” left the developer lexicon just as quickly as it arrived, and like most viral technology concepts, it means different things depending on who’s using it. In practice, the term is being applied in two ways: maximizing total token consumption as a proxy for AI adoption and effort, or optimizing output per token as a measure of efficiency and skill. These are two very different things, and conflating them is causing organizations to reach for the wrong measurement framework at the wrong time.Why might this be happening? Token usage is a function of query volume and context: how…
Aug 24, 2026 MinIO End of Life: How to Stay Patched and Audit-Ready with Docker ELS Supply-chain attacks have kept escalating while AI writes more of the code you ship. Docker’s latest updates bring more software built from source into your images, keep security coverage running past end of life, carry every guarantee through your customized images, and move policy enforcement onto every developer machine.

I have been experimenting with MCP servers in a few ways, including the Redgate Monitor MCP Server. It took me a few tries, and some help from engineers to get connected. I’ll cover how I did this in Claude and Visual Studio Code in this post, and try to warn you about a few places I made mistakes.This is part of a series of posts on Redgate Monitor. Click to see the other posts.Creating A TokenI’m not going to bore you with the setup and configuration of the Redgate Monitor instance. That procedure might change by release, so I’ll assume…
Most sysadmins only use cat to dump a file and tail -f to watch logs. That leaves a lot of useful behavior untouched and a lot of time wasted scrolling through files that could be sliced in seconds. Every Linux system whether it’s a cloud VM, a bare-metal server, or a container running a single servic; generates files constantly. Config files, log files, CSV exports, deployment outputs, and cron job records are everywhere. Being able to read and inspect those files quickly, without opening an editor or writing a Python script, is one of the most underrated command-line skills. The…
