A survey of 1,129 developers and 50 project managers suggests that individual developers are significantly further ahead when it comes to embracing AI than managers of application development projects. Conducted by BairesDev, a provider of software development services, the application developers surveyed said they are now saving on average 7.3 hours of work per week, […]

Docker Hardened Images: crafted by humans, protected by AI At Docker, we are building our hardened images to exacting standards. That means carefully crafting by hand, because humans are still the best security architects. That said, we understand the value of AI and deploy it as an extra set of eyes at critical junctures in our Docker Hardened Image (DHI) build process. With this…
I’ve spent most of my career in infrastructure and reliability engineering, from years as an SRE at Google to leading teams at Facebook and now building Spacelift. Along the way, I’ve watched entire paradigms rise and fall, seen technologies mature, and learned some hard lessons about where DevOps and security meet—and where they clash. The […]
This was one of the original values:The facing page has this text: No matter how smart you are, or how good you are at narrowly defined tasks, there is no room for you here if you’re an asshole.This is a similar value to that I’ve seen at a few companies, such as Google’s: Don’t be evil.I think this is one of those values that has held true over time. We try to be professional and respectful with each other. We don’t want to offend others or treat them poorly. The Oxford dictionary has this definition: “a stupid, irritating, or contemptible…
For decades, enterprises have thought about data like plumbers think about water: you build pipelines, connect sources to sinks, and hope the pipes do not burst under pressure. That model worked when data was simpler, slower, and more predictable. But today, pipelines are showing their cracks. They are brittle; one schema changes upstream and suddenly your dashboards are lying to you. They are expensive, maintaining dozens or even hundreds of ETL jobs are like keeping a fleet of leaky boats afloat. And they are slow, by the time data trickles through, the “real-time” decision window has already closed.The truth is…
How to Do Hardened Images (and Container Security) Right Container security is understandably a hot topic these days, with more and more workloads running atop this mainstay of the cloud native landscape. While I might be biased because I work at Docker, it is safe to say that containers are the dominant form factor for running applications today. Equally important, the next generation of applications focused on AI are already running on containers. Because the world runs on containers, getting container security right is of paramount importance. I am sad to say that most organizations who claim to be delivering…

Prototyping is a foundational step in interactive product development. It allows teams to quickly test ideas, validate functionality, and refine user experiences. In 2025, Python continues to hold a central role in this process. Its balance of simplicity, power, and adaptability makes it an enduring favorite among developers working across industries.Why Python Remains a Go-To Language for Developers in 2025There is the rise of newer languages focused on speed or concurrency, but Python still dominates early-stage development and prototyping. Its extensive libraries, simple syntax, and flexible programming paradigms make it ideal for translating rough ideas into functioning interfaces very fast.…
For over a decade, the core mission of enterprise IT has been to accelerate innovation. This drive has led to a fundamental shift in how software is built, favoring team autonomy and the freedom to choose the best tools for the job. Whether it’s a specific CI/CD pipeline, a new testing framework, or a specialized […]
