Red Hat offers a new free option for up to 25 Red Hat Enterprise Linux instances for business developers.

On StackExchange,
someone asks why programmers talk about “calling” a function. Several possible allusions spring to mind:


Calling a function is like calling on a friend — we go, we stay a while, we come back.
Calling a function is like calling for…

Hey everyone, After the last Cursor update, I’ve noticed the code suggestions have gotten way worse. Before, it used to generate clean, well-structured code that followed good practices. Now the code feels really basic, sloppy, and sometimes just wrong.…

We conduct a randomized controlled trial to understand how early-2025 AI tools affect the productivity of experienced open-source developers working on their own repositories. Surprisingly, we find that when developers use AI tools, they take 19% longer than…

Study Shows That Even Experienced Developers Dramatically Overestimate Gains

Repello AI provides enterprise AI security platform with automated AI red teaming, adaptive guardrails and threat modelling. Secure your GenAI systems from deployment to production.

A couple of weeks ago I fixed a nasty bug in this function in OpenZFS:

Developers have nothing to fear from generative AI, but self-cultivation is key.

Contrary to popular belief, using cutting-edge artificial intelligence tools slowed down experienced software developers when they were working in codebases familiar to them, rather than supercharging their work, a new study found.

Programming Language Theory (PLT) is one of my favourite areas of computer science yet I feel it's one of the most misunderstood by outsiders.

The safest and most reliable way to deal with feature flags is to hardcode them

I have previously blogged about the relatively new trend of AI slop in vulnerability reports submitted to curl and how it hurts and exhausts us. This trend does not seem to slow down. On the contrary, it seems that we have recently not only received more…

It started with a simple thought: four bytes in a hash table bucket look just like an integer. Luckily, this one idea led to a deep dive into bit-twiddling and a 2x performance boost.

New research shows developers think AI makes them 20% faster but are actually 19% slower. Vibe coding is creating unemployable pseudo-developers who can't debug or maintain code.
