In this special ShipTalk episode, host Dewan Ahmed (Principal Developer Advocate, Harness) sits down with @Harnessio Field CTO Nick Durkin for spicy—but practical—2026 predictions across AI, software delivery, DevSecOps, MLOps, and developer experience. Will we see the first “AI-caused meltdown”? Are AI “confidence scores” even trustworthy? Is 2026 the year of AI cleanup crews and recovery engineering? Nick’s take: the answer isn’t more gates—it’s guardrails, policy in the pipeline, and teams operating with the same “rulebook.”

AI didn’t just change how we write code. It changed everything that comes after. Application teams are shipping more code than ever with AI — but 70% of the work still happens after coding: testing, security, deployment, optimization, and keeping everything moving. As coding gets faster, delivery becomes the bottleneck. That’s where Harness comes in.

In this episode of the ShipTalk Podcast, host Dewan Ahmed (Principal Developer Advocate at Harness) sits down with Evgeny Ilinykh (Founder of GuidedMind.ai and former Tesla Engineering Manager) to move past the AI hype and get into the engineering reality of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). If your AI agents are hallucinating, the problem probably isn't your model—it’s your retrieval layer. Evgeny breaks down how to turn the "black box" of LLMs into a transparent, production-ready system that developers can actually trust.

Tis the season for love... and optimization.

In this tutorial you will learn how to link alert rules to time series panels for better visualization. Don't miss the rest of the "Get started with Grafana Alerting" series! Each part dives into a different feature to help you get the most out of alerting in Grafana.

You have the ideas, now learn how to turn them into production-ready AI agents. Join us on January 21st at 5:00 PM for a live webinar featuring Ben Norris, AI Engineer at Civo, and Sophia McKee, COO at Civo. We will demonstrate how to design, build, and deploy intelligent agents using n8n’s visual workflow automation platform, all powered by secure, UK-hosted infrastructure from relaxAI. You'll learn how to orchestrate tools, APIs, and LLMs to create scalable automations without needing deep coding expertise.

Shipping systems powered by LLMs would be hard enough if the models stayed the same. But in reality, they don’t. Models get updated and deprecated at a pace traditional software wouldn’t. All while teams are still expected to hit reliability targets that look a lot like traditional SLAs.

This video breaks down the core challenges MSPs face with Azure cost visibility, forecasting, and anomaly detection and how a smarter approach to optimization helps reduce unexpected spend across multi-tenant environments. If you're an MSP looking to simplify Azure cost management and improve clarity for your customers, this overview is a great place to start.
