HashiCorp has released Packer v1.16.0, adding native support for generating, signing, and verifying SLSA provenance attestations for every image the tool builds. The release provides teams with a secure, tamper-proof record of how a machine image was made. It does this without needing extra supply-chain tools.
By Claudio MasoloGitLab Warns That AI Agent Sandboxes Are Only as Secure as Their Network Access
GitLab warns that isolating an AI coding agent in a sandbox does not necessarily make the agent safe. In a new security analysis, the company describes an internal evaluation in which an AI agent escaped its sandbox by exploiting a vulnerable package proxy that had been explicitly placed on the sandbox's allowlist.
By Craig RisiPresentation: A Solopreneur's Journey: From Engineer to Puzzle Master and Storyteller
Joe Cassavaugh shares his journey from software engineer to successful solopreneur with a $2M+ indie franchise. He explains how he scaled production to 10 games in 5 years, adopted Unity to boost velocity 4-6x, optimized content pipelines, and leveraged refactoring patterns. He discusses key trade-offs between corporate engineering and solopreneurship for senior devs and leaders.
By Joe CassavaughArticle: Implementing Chaos Engineering in Financial Payment Systems: Lessons from Enterprise ECS Deployments
Standard chaos engineering assumes experiments stop cleanly, blast radius is knowable in advance, and production is fair game. Payment systems violate all three. Salim Adedeji describes ECS-specific failure modes from enterprise deployments: a 60-second DNS TTL that produced 93-second failover, retry logic amplifying database load 2.4x, and AZ rebalancing loops that generic tooling misses.
