‍Our commitment has always been to ensure that our developers enjoy a seamless experience on Bitrise. However, with every major tool or version update, there is always a potential for disruptions, especially for workflows that have grown reliant on the specifics of an older stack.

Coding assistants are quickly becoming essential tools in the software development process. By 2028, it’s expected that 75% of enterprise software engineers will rely on AI-powered coding assistants, a huge jump from less than 10% in early 2023, according to Gartner. The reason for this sharp increase is clear — AI coding assistants can boost developer productivity by up to 45%. This helps streamline tasks like code generation, review, and documentation, compared to traditional methods.

Imagine you're at a buffet, eagerly approaching what you think is the dessert table, only to find an empty space where the chocolate cake should be. That disappointing moment? That's pretty much what happens in your code when you encounter the infamous "Cannot read properties of undefined" error. Just as you can't slice a piece of cake that isn't there, JavaScript can't read a property of an object that doesn't exist. But don't worry!

When developers build applications, they need to think about how they will connect their products to data sources. Direct database access vs. REST APIs: which should you pick? Both currently stand out as two of the most popular options. Let’s explore the pros and cons of each so you can determine whether API-led connectivity serves your needs.

As software systems grow more complex, ensuring reliable performance and delivering a seamless user experience becomes increasingly challenging. Product teams need the ability to track and analyze system behavior in real-time, allowing them to address issues before they affect users. Product observability offers a proactive approach, enabling teams to gather data, monitor system health, and make informed decisions based on a complete view of both infrastructure and user interactions.

The upcoming PHP 8.4 release will include the brand-new feature “property hooks”, a mechanism to add logic to a class property when read from or written to. One benefit of this feature is that you do not need to protect property access with a private property and public getter/setter methods anymore. You can find out how this feature works in the RFC and other places, but in the spirit of this blog we want to focus solely on the performance implications.

Imagine you're a postal worker sorting through a mountain of packages. Some packages are ticking suspiciously, while others are leaking mysterious liquids. As a responsible postal worker, you have two choices: deal with these problematic packages yourself (throw) or slap a big "HANDLE WITH CARE" sticker on them and pass them along to the next person in line (throws). Think of throw as actually creating an error in your program. You use it when something goes wrong and you want to stop the program.
