The productivity impact of coding agents (3 minute read)
A large study of tens of thousands of Cursor users found that after agents became the default, organizations merged 39% more PRs with no increase in revert or bug-fix rates. Senior developers accepted agent-written code more often, planned more before coding, and generally used agents more effectively, while most user requests (61%) were for code implementation

How when AWS was down, we were not (30 minute read)
Authress stayed up during the major us-east-1 AWS outage by engineering for 5-nines reliability: eliminating unreliable dependencies, using multi-region and edge failover, running custom health checks, doing incremental rollouts, and applying anomaly detection, rate-limits, and customer-driven incident signals. Their architecture assumes “everything fails,” so they continuously validate data, automatically fail over regions, block abusive traffic, and treat customer support as part of their reliability system.

How Dash uses context engineering for smarter AI (7 minute read)
Dropbox Dash has evolved from a search system into an agentic AI to better interpret, summarize, and act on information, requiring a shift towards context engineering. Dash curates context through retrieval consolidation, relevant context filtering, and specialized task agents to improve the AI's decision-making, addressing issues like "analysis paralysis" and "context rot" that arise with too many tools and excessive data.

Cloudflare outage on November 18, 2025 (12 minute read)
Cloudflare's global outage yesterday was caused by a ClickHouse permissions change that accidentally doubled the size of a Bot Management “feature file,” exceeding a hard-coded limit and causing the core proxy (FL/FL2) to crash and return widespread 5xx errors. After initially suspecting a DDoS attack, Cloudflare stopped propagation of the bad file, restored a known-good version, and fully recovered services by 17:06 UTC.
