You will not find a smokestack on any CI/CD pipeline, nor a carbon meter in the corner of your screen to pass quiet judgment on the build. Yet the energy use is no less real.  Every server running a test suite, every virtual machine at work on some compilation, every container image that is stored is an electricity consumer. Multiply that by the thousands of pipelines a development team puts through the system in a month and the costs mount up.

Microsoft is preparing the next major update to Windows 11, version 26H2, with a strong emphasis on productivity, security, and system management rather than major visual redesigns. The update introduces practical improvements, including greater taskbar customization, a refined Start menu, enhanced Windows Update controls, and a new Administrator Protection feature designed to reduce the risks associated with elevated user privileges.

Emergent has raised $70 million in new funding as it looks to accelerate the adoption of no-code software development across enterprise and mid-market organizations. The investment underscores growing demand for platforms that allow non-technical users to build, deploy, and scale applications without writing traditional code.

When one of your developers would jump out of his well worn chair, hand grabbing his hair and screaming “The server is down!!” - it meant exactly one thing: a very real, very physical machine was catching on fire in a rack somewhere, waiting for an engineer to put out the flames and bring it back to life. You could kick it, reboot it, or bribe it with a fresh config file. But in the serverless era, that comforting ritual has vanished. Now it’s less “find the broken server” and more “solve the my

Forward-thinking organizations are solving this problem by shifting compliance left and embedding it directly into the CI/CD pipeline. The result is a model where security and compliance are not checkpoints at the end, but continuous, automated processes that run alongside development. The question on everyone’s mind is - How can DevSecOps teams automate compliance within CI/CD pipelines, enabling continuous validation, faster delivery, and stronger security outcomes?

In theory, the cloud is sleek, elastic, and endlessly efficient. In practice, it often behaves more like a garage stuffed with forgotten boxes labeled “might need later.”

Consider a scenario where someone fires up an AI business tool and puts in a straightforward query: “Why did we see a drop in sales last month?” Within seconds the system starts processing and computing, you can almost image the computer chips glowing with electricity as the system processes your request; and then it responds with a nicely put together response and an explanation that has all the right confidence to it. 

Google has officially accelerated Chrome’s release schedule, shifting from a four‑week cycle to updates every two weeks—a significant change the company says is necessary as artificial intelligence transforms both software development and cybersecurity. The new cadence began this week with the rollout of Chrome version 153 across desktop and mobile platforms.

A growing wave of concern inside leading artificial‑intelligence laboratories intensified this week after an Anthropic researcher announced he is leaving the industry, warning that companies are accelerating toward self‑improving AI systems that could slip beyond human control. The departure has become a flashpoint in an already tense debate over how quickly the sector is advancing and whether existing safety practices are sufficient.

Ahold Delhaize, parent company of major U.S. grocery chains including Food Lion, Stop & Shop, Giant Food, Hannaford, and The Giant Company, experienced a cybersecurity incident that disrupted online services and impacted some employee systems. While stores remained open, the event highlights the importance of incident response planning, operational resilience, and business continuity strategies to minimize disruption during cyber-related outages.

GitLab has released urgent security updates to address CVE-2026-97229, a critical remote code execution vulnerability affecting Community Edition and Enterprise Edition servers. The flaw impacts self-managed GitLab installations and could expose source code, CI/CD pipelines, and connected infrastructure. Organizations are advised to upgrade immediately, review security controls, and maintain regular patching to protect software development environments from cyber threats.

So what did Network Security and large office buildings have in common? Well, there was a big front door, a security man and his badge scanner. Once you made it in pass security, you were free to go where you pleased. The break room, the server closet – no one put a hand on your shoulder to ask what you were doing. For thirty years or so, that was also the way of most corporate network security setups. It was fine, until it wasn’t.

here is a characteristic in the heart of a critical software application that any developer would recognise as a mess. That characteristic, or clue - is that the application has been “temporary” for three years, and while it works; no one has much affection for it. The options are plain: put some order into it or let it be. Then comes the question from the business side that developers tend to avoid: “Can we just ship it?”

Microsoft has announced a significant expansion of its GitHub Copilot platform, introducing new enterprise-focused capabilities aimed at improving developer productivity and code quality. The update reflects Microsoft’s continued investment in AI-assisted software development tools as demand grows across large organizations.

Amazon Web Services has unveiled a new set of features designed to simplify serverless application development, reinforcing its position as a leader in cloud-native infrastructure. The updates focus on improving developer experience, observability, and performance across serverless workloads.

It is hard to believe, but the art of shopping on-line started over 40 years ago, with the introduction of early technology like Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and teleshopping in the 1970s paving the way for the modern-day E-commerce store and our accompanying empty wallets.

Your dream website will make you billions and you already know how you want it to look like, but having the most beautiful website in the world will not make you a Billionaire.
