The Trump administration's framework for assessing potential cybersecurity risks posed by advanced AI reportedly has no interest in testing open models. Axios reports that not only do the voluntary guidelines outright exclude open models - meaning anyone can download them and inspect their core components - but the framework explicitly says it can't be used […]

Cursor, VS Code, and Antigravity are the best AI editors most of us have ever used. Here's the new 1-click RCE bug, and what to do about it today. The three editors developers are leaning on hardest right now — Cursor, Microsoft Visual Studio Code, and Google Antigravity — just got hit with a disclosure worth taking seriously: a one-click remote code execution flaw where the trigger is a link inside a commit message. Click the link, and your endpoint belongs to whoever embedded the command. ...

I wrote a www → apex redirect in my Worker's fetch handler. It was dead code from the moment I deployed it, and I didn't notice for weeks. Matches if: your Cloudflare Worker isn't running; the fetch handler never fires; a redirect in Worker code doesn't work; console.log in a Worker produces nothing on real pages. The symptom The redirect logic is right there in the Worker. It's deployed. You can read it in the dashboard. And www.example.com/about serves the page instead of redirectin...

A few months ago, if someone mentioned AI, most people immediately thought of ChatGPT. Today, the conversation has changed. Everywhere you look, people are talking about AI Agents . Tech companies are building them. Startups are raising millions around them. Developers are integrating them into products. And suddenly, everyone claims that "AI Agents are the future." But here's the interesting part. Many people still use the terms chatbot and AI agent as if they mean ...

The tool I have quietly run my work week on is now open source. Kiro Crew is a persistent agent workspace built on Kiro. I have been on the internal version since April, and it changed how I think about what AI at work actually is. A while back I wrote about terminal productivity as a TPM and how far the command line can take a non-engineer. This is the next chapter: the terminal now runs itself. I am a technical program manager, not a software engineer. My setup today: around a dozen...

"S3-compatible" is one of those phrases that gets thrown around so much that people nod along without checking whether everyone means the same thing. Here's what it actually means, why it became the de facto standard, and what changes when you pick one implementation over another. What "S3-Compatible" Actually Means S3 compatibility means implementing Amazon's S3 REST API as a protocol — not as an AWS service you pay for. Specifically, it means supporting: The shared data m...

A few years ago, building software meant writing a series of rules. If a user clicked a button, the application executed a function. If a condition was true, another function ran. Everything was predictable because every possible outcome had already been programmed. That approach has worked for decades. But AI is changing the way software behaves. Instead of building applications that simply follow instructions, we’re beginning to build systems that can understand goals, make decisio...

A review form asked me a yes/no question I could not answer with yes: do you encrypt personal data at rest and in transit? In transit, sure, TLS everywhere, that part is free in 2026. At rest, no. The app runs on a plain VPS with no full-disk encryption, and the database held customer names, addresses and email addresses in a json column, in clear, exactly as PostgreSQL received them. There are two ways out of that question. One is to click yes and move on, because everybody knows the ...

✓ Human-authored analysis; AI used for formatting and proofreading. Most cloud security tools work by checking individual resources against a library of known-bad patterns. Is this bucket public? Is this port open? Is this key unrotated? These checks are necessary. They're also insufficient. Because the most dangerous violations don't exist in any single resource. They exist in the RELATIONSHIPS between resources. They're detectable from the configuration structure alone, without any use...

If you've shipped an AI agent to production in the last year, you've probably already felt the gap between "this works in the demo" and "this is safe to run unsupervised." Agentic AI systems that plan, call tools, and take actions with minimal human input breaks a lot of assumptions that traditional app security is built on. Here are five mistakes developers keep making, and what to do instead. 1. Treating the agent's credentials like a service account It's tempting to give you...

Four days after I published a piece arguing LLMs can't make the jump, OpenAI announced that an internal model called Astra had solved ten open problems in mathematics and theoretical computer science. One of them had been open since 1999. I'm not going to pretend that's a comfortable coincidence to sit with. So let's sit with it properly instead of pretending it didn't happen. The headline result is a non-sofic group. Mikhail Gromov introduced the concept of soficity in 1999 and asked...
