Why Streaming Services Need a Better User Experience

The problem is not content anymore, it's friction. Streaming platforms rarely lose users because they run out of shows to watch. They lose users in the gap between intent and action. You've probably been in that position as well. You open an app with something in mind. Maybe a show you want to continue. Maybe a quick search for something new. That intention is already strong. The content is usually there. The problem starts immediately after.

How AI Improves Service Desk Automation and Client Experience

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the IT service desk, moving it from a reactive cost center to a proactive, value-driven business partner. By automating repetitive tasks and providing deep analytical insights, AI helps IT teams resolve issues faster and deliver a superior client experience. This shift allows support staff to focus on more complex challenges, improving both efficiency and employee morale. The result is a more agile and responsive IT support system that directly contributes to organizational success.

Logs told me something broke. Traffic showed me what.

Here’s a problem I run into constantly: something breaks in production, I can see the 500 errors in my logs, but I can’t reproduce it locally. The trace shows me the dependency graph but not the actual request that failed. This is especially painful in microservices. I was looking at a CNCF example the other day (a simple demo app, like 4 pods) and it already had so many cross-service dependencies that understanding what broke required looking at the whole system at once.

IBM Think 2026 Infrastructure Insights for IT Leaders

IBM Think 2026 made one thing clear: infrastructure leaders are being asked to support more AI, more automation, and faster decision-making without adding unnecessary complexity or risk. Held earlier this month in Boston, IBM Think 2026 focused heavily on enterprise AI, hybrid cloud, automation, governance, and operational transformation.

Atlassian Transforms Product Development with AI

What used to take months now takes weeks, and it’s changing what it means to build great products. At Atlassian, product managers and designers are using Rovo and Jira Product Discovery to move faster at every stage of the development lifecycle. From running deep research across all their tools and documents, to capturing ideas, surfacing insights, and prioritizing what to build next. AI is transforming how product decisions get made.

You don't need a paid plan to use AI Root Cause Analysis

When an error appears in production, the hardest part often isn’t seeing what broke. It’s understanding why. That’s why we built Root Cause Analysis (RCA). It helps connect the dots between an error and its likely cause, so you can spend less time investigating and more time moving forward. Until now, RCA was only available through plans that included AI credits. Starting today, free plan users can purchase an AI credit subscription and use RCA without changing plans.

Splunk Observability at Cisco Live: Agentic Observability for the AI Era

Observability has always been about seeing clearly under pressure. But the pressure has changed. Applications are more distributed. Kubernetes environments keep expanding. Digital experiences depend on services, APIs, networks, third-party providers, and now AI models and agents that can make decisions faster than a human team can review every signal.

The AI ROI Company's new groove: CloudZero's new UI, and what it means for customers

Customizability. Feature velocity. Performance. Capabilities that are critically important to all B2B software users. And capabilities in which CloudZero’s brand-new platform specializes. Pitching a total frontend overhaul didn’t necessarily make me CloudZero’s most popular new PM. But it’s made CloudZero faster, more customizable for a wider range of personas, and easier to update with the new features that matter most to our customers. And, if I may say, it also looks beautiful.

Claude Opus 4.8: Pricing, benchmarks, and which model to actually run

Anthropic shipped Claude Opus 4.8 on May 28, 2026, exactly 41 days after Opus 4.7. The SERP was empty for two days after launch. Not because nobody cared. Because engineering managers and finance teams were doing the math on whether the bill changes.

Massive Open Source Success: A Step-By-Step Guide | Ubuntu Summit 26.04

Not all open source projects gain traction -- but a few become movements. In this talk, Nariman, Founder of Puter, shares what actually separates the two, based on his experience of growing Puter to 40K+ stars, gaining hundreds of contributors, and over 500K installations. He breaks down how to gain momentum from a project's foundation, attract contributors, and design projects that capture the imagination.
