Before agents were part of the picture, GitKraken Desktop had one job: make Git make sense. Visualize the commit graph, show branches and remotes clearly, and let a developer feel confident hitting merge. That job has not changed. What changed in GitKraken Desktop 12 is what sits on top of it.

Recently, Google released a couple new Gemini models. They were Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash Lite, and 3.5 Flash Cyber. Many people on the internet roasted Gemini Flash and Flash Lite for their less-than-frontier performance. This makes sense when you consider that OpenAI and Anthropic have been sparring back and forth for first place for quite a while but Gemini almost never gets that first place position. After all, this is Google we are talking about.

Enterprise IT work rarely stays inside one tool anymore, does it? A service request may start in an ITSM platform, require approval in a collaboration tool, trigger an identity change, update a system of record, and notify an employee when the work is complete. Likewise, an infrastructure incident may begin with a monitoring alert, require diagnostic checks, involve cloud or network systems, and end with validation, documentation, and escalation if remediation fails.

I spent the day at NVIDIA thinking I’d be learning about all the newest models and RAM throughput achievements. Instead, a version of the future started to crystallize where AI really is good enough, pervasive and cheap(er). Let me share some of my observations and conclusions.

Confidential computing is moving quickly. The foundation is already here: AMD SEV-SNP and Intel TDX have made it possible to run confidential virtual machines (VMs) with stronger protection for data in use. Ubuntu 26.04 Long Term Support (LTS) brings integrated host and guest support for both of these technologies, making confidential computing a native part of the Ubuntu virtualization offering..

In April, Harness announced the Harness Cursor Plugin, a native integration that lets developers manage CI/CD pipelines, deployments, and security posture using natural language inside Cursor, governed by the same RBAC, OPA policies, and audit trails already enforced across the Harness platform. That experience has, until now, lived entirely at a desk.

We didn’t set out to build a new category of product. We set out to stop juggling. That’s the word Gyo, the senior engineer who built the first version of Kepler, keeps coming back to when he talks about where it started. “I have a lot of terminals opened, and with all those tabs, it was very difficult for me to keep focused on what I was doing,” he says. “I’m not a juggler.”

How to export a Microsoft Teams chat - manual options, Purview eDiscovery for admins, what happens after a user leaves the organization, and why retention is not export.

Most organizations have responded to the rapid growth of AI by creating written policies that define acceptable use. A clear AI policy can establish expectations, assign responsibilities, and help employees understand how AI should and shouldn’t be used. But policy alone can’t provide oversight and is almost impossible to enforce at scale without the right tools.

Chrome’s root program decides what certificates will be trusted by Chrome, and what they are allowed to do. Recently, Google decided that client authentication isn’t on the list. Under Chrome Root Program Policy v1.8, every certificate issued on or after March 15, 2027 can assert only one Extended Key Usage (EKU): server authentication. Let’s Encrypt moved early.
