Which Bugs AI Agents Fix Better With Traffic

In the first experiment, I wanted a baseline: if an AI coding agent gets the same production signal a human would get, can it fix bugs in a codebase it has never seen? Yes, but only when I gave it better context. With only an alert, the agent passed 51% of the runtime tests. When I added captured traffic, the actual request and response for the failing call, it climbed to 77%. This post is the second pass.

7 Ways Power Cables Affect Data Center Performance and Uptime

Data centers are the backbone of the digital economy. Every second of downtime can cost a business thousands of dollars - and in some cases, damage its reputation beyond repair. While most conversations around uptime focus on servers, cooling systems, and redundant networks, the role of power cables is often overlooked. Yet these humble components sit at the heart of every data center's reliability.

The Kubeshark Workflow That Doesn't Stop at the Dashboard

The Observability Gap shows up the moment you try to reproduce a production bug locally. Your traces tell you a request was slow. Your logs tell you which line printed. Neither tells you what was actually on the wire: the headers, the JSON body, the surprise field your client started sending last Tuesday. Until now, closing that gap meant SSHing to a node, attaching a debugger, or shipping a sidecar through change review.

React Native New Architecture and OTA Updates: What Teams Need to Know in 2026

The React Native New Architecture is no longer optional. From React Native 0.82 onwards it is mandatory, the legacy architecture is gone, and every team still running it is now carrying technical debt that will need to be resolved. For most teams, the migration conversation quickly turns to tooling. Does our CI/CD pipeline still work? Does our crash reporter still integrate correctly? Do our analytics tools need updating?

Beware of PII in Testing Data: The Security Iceberg and Where PII Actually Hides

If you run a platform tools or security team, you have likely heard this request from developers: “I just need a copy of the production database for staging so I can run realistic load and integration tests.” It is a completely reasonable request. Production traffic and data contain the actual request shapes, real-world value distributions, long-tail anomalies, and timing patterns that make tests useful.

Deployment Strategies Every Developer Should Know

The first time I watched a deployment take down a production app, I was a junior engineer with no idea what a deployment strategy actually was. I assumed "deploying" just meant pushing code and refreshing the page. Deployment strategies are the structured approaches development teams use to release software updates into production, defining how, when, and how safely code moves from a repository into the hands of real users.
