AI factories are token factories, converting power into intelligence in real time. And as agentic AI scales and autonomous, always-on special agents are deployed in the enterprise, performance per watt and cost per token become the economics that matter.

Learn how to build a custom MCP server in Node.js. Connect Claude or VS Code to your own data and tools with just one dependency and a few lines of code.

At the GOTO Conference in Copenhagen in 2025, Kent Beck and I spent some time on stage talking and answering questions from the audience - a format I refer to as “two old geezers on a park bench”. We talk about our experiences with LLM-augmented programming (at that point - October 2025), we show ou...

La question qui nous intéresse tous (et qui a ouvert l'event) : est-ce que l’IA a sonné le glas du design ? Spoiler : pas encore, mais les designers et product managers vont devoir revoir leurs positionnements.

Comment sait-on qu'on est au bon niveau d'abstraction ? La question de l'abstraction et du design de code est centrale, mais elle est rarement posée.Cet article explore comment le code exprime le métier à travers l'abstraction et l'encapsulation, et pourquoi trouver les bons concepts métier demande ...

AI’s impact on software engineering continues, and more and more of that AI is packaged as agents as results from our newest pulse survey show agentic usage has almost doubled (59%) since we last asked about it in our annual Developer Survey

A thoughtful review of AI-generated frontend code in a real product: strong in isolated spots, but increasingly inconsistent at the system level. It also makes the case for using AI as a candidate generator and validator, not as the reviewer with the final opinion. Read more

Moving data from your operational database has traditionally meant setting up and...

Caching the result and knowing when the cache is valid. The post Sharing the result of a single Windows Runtime IAsyncOperation among multiple coroutines, part 1 appeared first on The Old New Thing.

You probably found this tutorial because you want to send emails with Python to automate confirmation messages, password resets, or scheduled notifications. Python’s standard library covers the whole pipeline, from making a server connection to building the message and sending it to one or many reci...

See how open source TimescaleDB powers a year of hourly building energy data in a single heat map view — rendered in under a second across 38 live sites.

In the last year, agents have strained the limits of cloud infrastructure with new usage patterns: higher throughput of control-plane operations, more demand for on-demand infrastructure, and capacity crunch. The resulting spate of failures and incidents amongst cloud services has taught us lessons ...

CVE-2026-31431 is a Linux kernel vulnerability that was recently disclosed. This CVE does not compromise Docker infrastructure. That said, Docker Engine's default profiles prior to v29.4.3 allowed containers to create AF_ALG sockets, which is the syscall surface the exploit uses. You are not exposed...

An exploration of the meticulously messy hunt for a project’s digital signature: the singular, reactive behavior that makes a brand feel unforgettable.

Agentic development tools have started to change the way I approach software work. Instead of only asking for a small autocomplete suggestion or a quick explanation, I can now ask an agent to inspect a problem, propose a plan, make code changes, and even iterate on a solution. That can be incredibly...

In this quiz, you’ll test your understanding of Sending Emails With Python. By working through this quiz, you’ll revisit how to build messages with the EmailMessage class, secure your SMTP connection, attach files, send HTML alternatives, route replies to a different mailbox, and address multiple re...
