Modern applications rarely do just one thing at a time. An API request creates an order, and then another service needs to reserve stock, another to charge the customer, another to send an email, and so on. In a serverless or event-driven architecture, follow-up actions are usually triggered by messages (either events or commands). That gives us loose coupling, better scalability, and independent services. But it also introduces a reliability problem. “What happens when the database update...

If you use Claude Code a lot, you’ve probably run into usage limits, sometimes even in short coding sessions. But cost isn’t the only problem. In long-running sessions, the context window eventually fills up, and that can cause the agent to forget earlier decisions, lose important details, or come back from compaction with gaps in its working memory. Here are three tools worth checking out if you want to reduce token usage and make longer coding sessions possible. 1. CavemanThis is a Claude...

AI agents can now scan an entire open-source codebase for exploitable vulnerabilities in hours. Frontier models carry the complete library of known bug classes in their weights. So you can simply point an AI agent at a codebase and tell it to find zero-days. This isn't theoretical. Willy Tarreau, the HAProxy lead developer, reports that security bug reports have jumped from 2–3 per week to 5–10 per day. Greg Kroah-Hartman, the Linux kernel maintainer, described what happened: "Months ago, we...
