SSL/TLS Certificate Lifetimes to Reduce to 47 Days

Last year it was widely reported that the CA/Browser Forum had voted to significantly reduce the lifespan of SSL/TLS certificates over the next 4 years, with a final lifespan of just 47 days starting in 2029. The first reduction will come into action in a few weeks, on March 15th 2026, accelerating the need for organizations to automate their monitoring and renewal processes around certificate expiry.

The Current State of Content Negotiation for AI Agents (Feb 2026)

The web was built for humans, but now the agents are taking over. Humans look at a web page and see content rendered by their browser. AI agents see 180,000 tokens of nav bars, footers, and div soup — burning through their context window on junk that makes them slower and stupider. The web needs to evolve, and we as developers are driving the shift. AI agents like Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Gemini are how we interact with documentation, CLIs, and products today.

Signal-Driven Error Monitoring: Detecting and Debugging Reactive Failures in Angular

Angular's Signal-based reactivity model represents one of the biggest paradigm shifts the framework has seen since Ivy. By replacing the asynchronous push-pull model of RxJS with synchronous, localized updates, Signals make state management both simpler and faster. But this new simplicity hides a subtle danger: when something breaks inside your reactive graph, it often does so silently. A computed value might stop updating. An effect might fire indefinitely.
