How an AI Agent Broke Into Hugging Face During an OpenAI Test (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An AI model broke into Hugging Face to cheat on a test. Not to make a point, not out of anger, just to win. Nicky Pike walks through two incidents from this summer that read like a heist movie until you strip away the sci-fi. In July, an OpenAI research agent found a zero-day nobody knew existed. It escaped the sandbox it was supposed to be sealed inside and spent four and a half days inside Hugging Face's production systems stealing credentials and minting itself access. A few weeks later, the
95% of the World Is Clueless About Platform Engineering (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Everyone said AI would reduce the need for developers. Instead, it made one kind of engineer more important than ever. Luca Galante runs the largest platform engineering community on the planet. Besides hosting PlatformCon, he has also spent years watching real enterprises turn flashy AI demos into systems that hold up in production. Currently, he serves as managing director at Weave Intelligence , the analyst firm tracking how the platform model is reshaping enterprise technology. In this conve
Are You Really Learning to Code If AI Does It for You? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
John Crickett spent 30 years teaching himself to build software the hard way, and he thinks that's exactly why he's still employable.

Today he runs Coding Challenges , where thousands of engineers go to relearn a skill AI is qu
Open Source Security: The Eyeballs Were Never Enough (opens the original)
Read excerpt
6,000 vulnerabilities but only 97 fixed. Nicky Pike can't stop thinking about a stat that a machine found in the open-source code your company almost certainly runs. It all started with 90 seconds of a much longer conversation. A few weeks back, Nicky sat down with Gene Kim for a full episode on citizen developers and the outer loop. Near the end, Gene described a moment from an Erik Meijer talk that stuck with them both: the suggestion that running open source at all might be crazy, that it's c
The Thing You Tested Isn't The Thing That's Running feat. Rick Clark (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For 15 years, enterprises have signed off on a promise: the thing we tested is the thing that's running. Rick Clark , Global Head of Cloud Advisory at UST , says that promise dies the moment an agent starts making its own decisions in production. Rick helped build the cloud era himself, from Ubuntu Server to OpenStack to the Four Opens framework that still governs the OpenInfra community today. Now he's telling enterprise leaders that agentic AI is the biggest wave he's seen, bigger than cloud,
