How to Use Git Blame in Your Editor in 6 Steps (2026)

Tracking down who made a specific change in your codebase can feel like detective work. Whether you’re debugging an issue or trying to understand why a particular piece of logic exists, knowing the history behind each line is invaluable. GitKraken makes this process simple with tools like GitLens for VS Code and GitKraken Desktop, which bring blame annotations directly into your workflow.

10 Privacy-First Engineering Intelligence Platforms 2026

Engineering leaders need more than raw metrics, they need actionable insights they can trust with their data. When evaluating engineering intelligence platforms, privacy controls and centralized repository oversight should top your criteria list. The platforms on this list each offer distinct approaches to tracking DORA metrics, developer productivity, and code quality while keeping your data secure.

Let AI Run Your Cloud Infra? Ex-VMware & SAP Architects Weigh In. (ft. TechWorld with Nana)

Can you trust AI to run your platform? AI can now spin up production infrastructure in minutes — but speed cuts both ways. In this episode, Nana(TechWorld with Nana) sits down with Doron Grinstein and Dan Wilson, two architects who built, broke, and fixed platforms at VMware and SAP, for a no-hype look at platform engineering in the age of AI.

Real-World Service Desk Automation: Use Cases That Prove a Platform is Enterprise-Ready

Most conversations about service desk automation stay at the strategy level for too long. Capability checklists and evaluation frameworks matter, but they won’t show you what the platform does when something breaks at 2 AM, or what happens when a single incident crosses four team boundaries before it can close. These scenarios show where simpler platforms start to give way. Teams usually automate the clean, single-system work first.

Security and reliability review: 7 delivery model weak points to check first

Security audits that focus only on application code often miss the delivery layer entirely. That is where the most common and most avoidable failures live. Most teams treat security as a layer added on top of a working system. The problem is that the delivery model itself introduces risk before a single line of application code runs. When deployments are manual, environments are inconsistent, or configuration drifts across stages, the system behaves unpredictably.

Data sovereignty is an opportunity for regional growth

Data sovereignty wasn’t a major topic just a few years ago and now it’s becoming a major economic opportunity for regions across the UK. In this clip from Perspectives from the Edge, Katie Gallagher OBE from Manchester Digital discusses why the conversation around data sovereignty has shifted, and how the rise of AI is accelerating demand for trusted regional digital infrastructure. As organisations rethink where data is stored, processed and governed, regions like Manchester are increasingly well placed to benefit through investment, innovation and digital skills growth.

The audit-ready engineering org

Two weeks before the audit, the Slack messages start. Get me a screenshot of this. Can you screenshot the CI/CD logs? Can you add the artifact names that were deployed to production and when, and when the incident happened? Senior engineers stop shipping. A spreadsheet appears. The product roadmap goes on hold while four people chase down ownership data and evidence that should have existed all along. This fire drill is the symptom of an operating model problem.

Welcome Keynote | Ubuntu Summit 26.04

Welcome to Ubuntu Summit 26.04! In this welcome keynote, Mark Shuttleworth (CEO, Canonical), and Jon Seager (VP Engineering, Canonical), detail how Ubuntu is driving speed, safety, and community access in the era of agentic engineering. Learn how Canonical is balancing the need for rapid innovation with strict safety sandboxing through snaps, LXD, and microVMs. You'll also get a first look at what's in store for Ubuntu.
