CI/CD Was Built for Deterministic Software — Agents Just Broke the Model

CI/CD was built around a comforting idea: Software should do tomorrow what it did today, assuming the inputs are the same. That assumption sits underneath a lot of modern DevOps.

AWS Security Agent Brings Full Repository Code Scanning to Preview

Security teams have long relied on static analysis tools to catch vulnerabilities before code ships. Those tools are useful, but they have a fundamental limitation: they match code against known patterns. They don’t understand your application. AWS is taking a different approach with its latest addition to AWS Security Agent. The company recently released full […]

AI-Generated Apps Without DevOps: A Security Disaster Waiting to Happen

A small internal tool was built over a weekend. An engineer used an AI coding assistant to generate most of the backend. A simple interface was added, a few API calls were wired together and within hours the app was live. The app worked. The app felt fast. The app looked like progress. No one […]
