Your Metrics Look Fine. Your Engineers Are About to Quit.

Developer experience predicts what's coming 3 to 6 months before it shows up in your delivery metrics. So why are most engineering leaders measuring it last? In this session, GitKraken VP of Developer Research Jeremy Castile breaks down what developer experience (DevX) actually is, how to measure it across 6 key dimensions, and how it connects to velocity, code quality, and AI impact data your team is already tracking.

How to Size Infrastructure When Hardware Delays and Cost Pressure Change the Equation

Sizing infrastructure has always required a balance between performance, capacity, and risk. What has changed is the level of precision required to make those decisions. Hardware timelines are less predictable. Costs are under closer review. Decisions that were once routine now require clear justification. In many cases, the question is no longer just how much capacity is needed, but whether that capacity can be delivered when it is needed and whether the investment will hold up under scrutiny.

Enforce Artifact Governance with OPA Policy-as-Code | Harness Artifact Registry

Artifact governance should not depend on manual checks. But for many teams, container images, software packages, and open-source dependencies are imported into registries from multiple internal and external sources. Without automated guardrails, vulnerable images, untrusted packages, end-of-life dependencies, or non-compliant artifacts can reach developers and delivery pipelines.

AI Cost Savings Unlocking Hidden Engineering Value

Bain says AI cost savings aren't arriving. But the value isn't missing, it's invisible. Most engineering teams can see token spend. They can see AI usage. What they can't see is whether any of it shipped, and whether it moved the needle on delivery. That's the measurement gap. And until it closes, AI ROI will keep looking worse than it should.

An Architect's Guide to IPoDWDM

IPoDWDM is an architecture that integrates IP routing and Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing into a single, converged platform. This integration is achieved by placing coherent optics directly into the ports of IP routers and switches, a fundamental shift from traditional network designs. Consequently, this approach eliminates the need for a separate, dedicated layer of optical transponders and their associated shelving.

Claude Code alternatives in 2026: 10 AI coding tools compared on cost, features, and AI ROI

Something unusual happened in the first half of 2026: the most productive AI coding tool on the market became the most financially dangerous. And the companies that discovered this the hard way read like a Fortune 50 roll call.

Shipped: The AI spend on your team's laptops is the part you can't see.

Your engineers run Claude Code. Your designers are in Cowork. Half the company has Claude open in a browser tab, and a few are on Cursor. It’s on their laptops, each person authenticated a different way, and none of it touches your gateway. The only record you get is one lump-sum bill at the end of the month. Now you can capture it where it happens – on the laptop.
