Is AI killing open source?

That mismatch worked, if uncomfortably, when contributing had friction. After all, you had to care enough to reproduce a bug, understand the codebase, and risk looking dumb. But AI agents are obliterating that friction (and have no problem with looking dumb). Even Mitchell Hashimoto, the founder of HashiCorp, is now considering closing external PRs to his open source projects, not because he's losing faith in open source, but because he's drowning in "slop PRs" generated by large language models and their AI agent henchmen.

Linus Torvalds confirms next Linux will be version 7.0

Linux kernel version numbering became more predictable with the 3.x series, which saw the release of 19 kernels before ticking over to 4.0. Torvalds had some fun along the way, dubbing version 3.11 Linux for Workgroups, a reference to the name Microsoft gave Windows 3.11. He later pondered using version 4.0 as a special release dedicated to cleaning up bugs.

Xcode 26.3 Brings Integrated Agentic Coding for Anthropic Claude Agent and OpenAI Codex

The latest release of Xcode, Xcode 26.3, extends support for coding agents, such as Anthropic's Claude Agent and Open's Codex, helping developers tackle complex tasks and improve their productivity. With agentic coding, Xcode can work with greater autonomy toward a developer's goals - from breaking down tasks to making decisions based on the project architecture and using built-in tools. The new release expands the agentic coding capabilities introduced in Xcode 26 by providing coding agents with access to more Xcode's features.

Spotify puts the brakes on Developer Mode with stricter API rules

According to Spotify, developer access usage patterns have changed dramatically in recent years. While Development Mode was intended as an accessible sandbox for testing ideas with a limited group of users when it was introduced in 2021, Spotify now sees that scale, automation, and AI bring new risks. Stricter and clearer controls are therefore needed at the current platform level. The new measures build on previous changes, such as tightened access to Web API endpoints, modified quota rules, and the phasing out of outdated authentication

Linux kernel to move to version 7.0 after release of 6.19

Linus Torvalds has announced that the kernel will continue as Linux 7.0 after version 6.19. The announcement was made via the Linux Kernel Mailing List. The announcement was shared by The Register. The choice of version 7.0 follows the existing versioning policy, whereby kernel series usually end at subversion 19. Previous series, including 5.x and 6.x, followed the same pattern. According to Torvalds (photo), the transition to a new major number is motivated by clarity in versioning.

A Language For Agents

Last year I first started thinking about what the future of programming languages might look like now that agentic engineering is a growing thing. Initially I felt that the enormous corpus of pre-existing code would cement existing languages in place but now I'm starting to think the opposite is true. Here I want to outline my thinking on why we are going to see more new programming languages and why there is quite a bit of space for interesting innovation.

Five signs your business has outgrown off-the-shelf software

When staff resort to copying data between spreadsheets, keeping shadow systems in Excel, or doing repetitive tasks that feel like they should be automated, something is wrong. These workarounds creep in gradually; a quick fix here, a temporary solution there, until suddenly your operations depend on a patchwork of manual processes. Workarounds rarely stay small. What begins as a simple spreadsheet to track information your CRM cannot handle eventually becomes a document that multiple team members depend on.

If You Don't Have Database Delivery Automation, Brace Yourself for These 10 Problems |

Manual database processes break DevOps pipelines; only 12% deploy database changes daily, causing configuration drift, frequent errors, slower time-to-market, and reduced productivity.
fromDbmaestro
4 years ago

What is Database Delivery Automation and Why Do You Need It?

Manual database deployment means longer release times. Database specialists have to spend several working days prior to release writing and testing scripts which in itself leads to prolonged deployment cycles and less time for testing. As a result, applications are not released on time and customers are not receiving the latest updates and bug fixes. Manual work inevitably results in errors, which cause problems and bottlenecks.

Generative AI exponentially brings down the cost of building solutions. It lets people build exactly what they need to solve an exact problem in an exact moment. It lets people own their own solutions. This is great for a lot of specific problems that need specific solutions that wouldn't normally get solved easily. This has been the evergreen promise of computers and programming and hacking. But there's a difference between solving your specific problem, and owning a problem domain.

The recipe domain is just a familiar, low-stakes vehicle for discussing these deeper ideas.
