Warp has added a version of its artificial intelligence (AI) agent for writing code that integrates directly within a command line interface (CLI).Company CEO Zach Lloyd said rather than working with AI agents within the context of an integrated development environment, Warp Code embeds AI agents with a CLI that is likely to prove more appealing to some developers and many DevOps engineers that prefer a traditional terminal-based coding experience.Warp Code is based on the same agentic AI framework as Warp, an AI coding tool that is designed to generate code from natural language prompts in a way that provides…

A survey of 101 senior engineering leaders published this week finds while 87% believe their organization is “prepared” or “very prepared” to adopt artificial intelligence (AI). It’s also clear that several hurdles remain, most notably making sure application development teams have the quality assurance skill and expertise needed to validate AI outputs (66%).Conducted by Uplevel, a provider of a platform for tracking engineering metrics, the survey also finds engineering leaders are starting to focus more on performance monitoring and optimization (39%) and system architecture and integration skills (34%).Additionally, the survey identifies technical debt (27%) and lack of clear AI strategy…

Today’s world of gaming comes in an expansive range that covers everything from shooting games to car games, fighting games, RPGs, casino games, multiplayer games, mobile games, sports games, and just about everything in between that one could imagine. The mechanics may differ from genre to genre, but what doesn’t change is that the coding behind the game needs to be solid to pass muster with players. While the programming complexity can differ from game to game, there’s still no room to make arbitrary mistakes or release games that don’t work as they should. Programming and Popular Casino Style GamesStrong programming…

We’ve all been there. Someone walks up and asks, “Is SQL Server having issues?” What’s your first move?For me, it starts with the SQL Server Error log. I zero in on the timeframe the requester mentioned and begin my investigation.Quick Review via SSMSFor a fast, no frills check:Connect to the server using SSMS.Navigate to the appropriate error log.Scroll through the log records to spot anything unusual.The manual review can be surprisingly effective for simple reviews, but sometimes you will need to dig deeper.Filtering the Error LogLet’s say a user reports that the database stops responding at 7:00 PM every day.…

One of the nice things about Markdown is that you can just… put HTML in there too. There is no Markdown shortcut for a , but you can just use a . That means you can use use as well, bringing the world of Web Components into your writing and creating of content. Deane Barker writes: What if you want a Markdown-friendly way to represent a feedback form, or a tabbed UI, or a mortgage calculator, or something else way beyond the scope of text formatting. For these situations, what you really want is to put a token or a…

In the beginning, there was OLTP – Online Transaction Processing. Fast, reliable, and ruthlessly efficient, OLTP systems were the workhorses of enterprise data. They handled the daily grind: purchases, logins, inventory updates, and all the transactional minutiae that kept businesses humming. But as data grew and curiosity bloomed, a new hunger emerged – not just for transactions, but for understanding. Enter analytics.Yet, for years, these two worlds, OLTP and analytics, lived in awkward silos. OLTP was the sprinter, optimized for speed and precision. Analytics was the marathoner, built for depth and endurance. Trying to run both on the same track…

Speed is the currency of modern development, but security often pays the price. As teams push code faster than ever, traditional security methods can’t keep up. That’s where vulnerability scanning, done right, becomes essential. Not just as a checkbox, but as a real enabler of secure, continuous delivery.  In this blog, we will discuss what actually makes scanning effective in today’s rapid-fire CI/CD pipelines and why most teams still get it wrong. Why Traditional Scanning Methods Fall Short in CI/CD Traditional vulnerability scanning was never built for DevSecOps. It’s reactive, slow and often disconnected from the pace of modern software delivery. You run a…

As a Linux user, you may eventually run into a situation where your root partition (/) runs out of space, which can cause errors, prevent software installation, or even stop your system from functioning properly. Expanding the root partition may sound tricky, especially for beginners, but with a bit of guidance and patience, it’s absolutely doable, as explained in this article. Understanding the Root Partition The root partition (/) is where your Linux operating system resides and contains all the system files, installed applications, configuration settings, and sometimes user data if /home isn’t on a separate partition. The root partition…

JFrog at its annual swampUP conference unfurled a DevOps platform, dubbed JFrog Fly, designed to enable application developers to more easily integrate artificial intelligence (AI) agents within workflows at scale.Via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) developed by Anthropic, JFrog Fly is designed to integrate with multiple AI repos and platforms such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot and Claude Code to enable DevOps teams to centrally manage the storing, sharing and serving of software components using semantic metadata to optimize deployments of releases in a way that is also integrated with package managers and GitHub repositories.Additionally, JFrog revealed it has developed a…
