If you're near the Google campus this Wednesday, Oct 21, please stop in for the Ajax Push Panel:The Chronicles of Web Standard Prince Comet: Next Wave of Comet. I'll be there along with Alex Russell, Michael Carter, Greg Wilkins, and Dylan Schiemann. It should be a good opportunity to discuss the impact of Google Wave and Cloud Computing on push technologies. Should Google support Servlet 3.0 in the Google App Engine, or should they force people to use proprietary technologies? Should ICEfaces Ajax Push be split out into a separate push server, available with no dependency on JSF?
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

You can find your way through an organization by figuring out what artifacts people leave behind, David Grizzanti mentioned at InfoQ Dev Summit Boston. He compared culture to anthropology, suggested studying behaviors, power dynamics, and decisions first, and then patiently model and reward new norms, build allies, and use influence and leading by example, to shift engineering culture over time.

While AI tools are enabling developers to generate code faster than ever, Smith argued that the models themselves are increasingly “stale” because they lack the repository-specific knowledge required to produce production-ready contributions.

Claude Opus 4.6 discovered 22 Firefox vulnerabilities in two weeks, including 14 high-severity bugs, as nearly 20% of all critical Firefox vulnerabilities were fixed in 2025. The AI also wrote working exploits for two bugs, demonstrating emerging capabilities that give defenders a temporary advantage but signal an accelerating arms race in cybersecurity.
