A software engineer describes how delegating work to AI agents risks eroding their own mental model of the codebase, and outlines strategies to preserve judgment while using agents. The author emphasi…
Depot, a container build service, has added support for SOCI (Seekable OCI) v2 metadata in its container builds, enabling lazy-loading of container images to speed up deployment. SOCI, originally buil…
Depot uses PostHog's AI observability tools to monitor and maintain its AI assistant Sherlock, which helps customers analyze builds and jobs. Sherlock usage from the dashboard grew to 5x the volume of…
A developer shares a workflow for using AI to write maintainable code, emphasizing constraints like linting rules and standardized testing to keep AI-generated code readable and team-friendly.…
Depot now supports SOCI v2 for container builds, enabling lazy-pulling of images to drastically reduce startup times. The feature generates a SOCI index during the build process, allowing containers t…
Agentic coding has increased CI pipeline frequency, making test suite bottlenecks more costly. Teams can accelerate their pipelines by first optimizing parallel test execution within a single machine,…
Five Linux local privilege escalation vulnerabilities were disclosed and exploited within weeks this spring, with attackers using AI to scan kernel subsystems and find bugs like the "Copy Fail" vulner…
Depot has launched a general availability release of its CI API and CLI, enabling developers to manage continuous integration workflows entirely from the terminal or editor without needing the web das…
Depot has expanded its AI assistant Sherlock to analyze Depot CI workflows and jobs directly from the dashboard, allowing users to investigate failures, compare attempts, and get fix suggestions witho…
A developer built a tool called `/orc` to solve "context rot" in AI coding agents, where long conversations caused models to forget rules and produce worse results. The tool splits the coding workflow…
Depot CI engineers reduced microVM cold boot times from 7-9 seconds to under 5 seconds by implementing direct kernel boot with a custom minimal Linux kernel, bypassing the standard Ubuntu image's unne…
