Profile Information
- How did you hear about Codetown?
- I went to a JUG meeting, and I found out there's a "facebook for coders". I don't have a facebook, but a facebook for coders doesn't sound so bad.
- What are your main interests in software development?
- right now, I'm just interested in learning as many languages as I can as well as I can (I'm decent at C++ and Perl, and I can say hello world in Java, Python, Lisp, Haskell, JavaScript, Ruby, and C#), and getting some practical coding experience under my belt. as far as projects go, I'm not good enough at either relevant language (C++/C#) to program games for my phone, but that's probably what I'll end up doing a lot of over the next year.
well, that and learning some of this new XHTML stuff (last time I wrote HTML was almost a decade ago. I hear it's changed) and figuring out CGI.pm, so I can put up a web site.
- Do you have a website?
- http://bit.ly/codeman
- Anything else you'd like to add? Where do you live? (optional!)
- I don't care what anyone says, I still think JavaScript.onMouseOver is a funny way to play internet pranks on people.
Happy 10th year, JCertif!

How OpenAI Built a Secure Windows Sandbox for Codex Agents
OpenAI details Codex Windows sandbox architecture, showing how SIDs, ACLs, restricted tokens, and dedicated sandbox accounts enable safe execution of autonomous coding tasks. The design balances isolation with real developer workflows and shows how OS security primitives must be composed for AI agents on local development environments.

LinkedIn’s Karthik Ramgopal and Prince Valluri discuss leveraging AI as a new execution model for large-scale engineering. They explain how to move beyond fragmented implementations by building platform abstractions for orchestration, structured context, and safe tooling like MCP. They share architectural insights from real-world coding, observation, and UI testing agents built at LinkedIn.

Netflix has shared details about Service Topology. This internal system creates and updates a live dependency graph for thousands of microservices. It helps engineers see how services connect and resolve issues more quickly. The system merges three separate data sources into a single, queryable graph. It updates almost in real-time as traffic patterns shift.
