Codetown ::: a software developer's community
Ronald Rozensky has not received any gifts yet
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.

Cybersecurity firm Chainguard has announced the launch of Athena, an industry coalition to use artificial intelligence to find and fix vulnerabilities in widely-used open-source software before attackers can exploit them. The coalition focuses on libraries, containers and other components that underpin web browsers, data centres, smartphones and payment systems.

Microsoft recently introduced at Build 2026 Microsoft Scout, an always-on agent. Scout belongs to a new category of agents Microsoft called Autopilots: always-on agents that work autonomously on a user’s behalf with their own identity, without needing to be prompted each time. Microsoft Scout integrates with Work IQ and is based on the open-source agent framework OpenClaw.

Uber recently described an internal architecture for propagating identity across multi-agent AI workflows. The design aims to perserve user context, agent provenance, and scoped access as agents delegate work and call internal tools. The case study aligns with Auth0’s view that AI agents need permissions based on delegated authority, scoped credentials, and explicit human approval boundaries.

Aditya Kumarakrishnan explains how to move past the "amnesia phase" of AI. He shares a blueprint for engineering leaders to build modular agent frameworks using CoALA, leverage decades of process science for scalable workflows, and "terraform" legacy environments into robust, event-sourced artifacts capable of handling unpredictable, cross-functional agent demands.

GitHub has introduced the GitHub Copilot app, a desktop control centre for agent-native development that aims to keep engineers in charge while AI agents handle more coding work. Mario Rodriguez writes on the GitHub blog that the recent wave of coding agents has brought faster delivery but also "disjointed workflows, more context switching, and too much time spent reviewing agent-generated code".
