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.

Hannah Foxwell began her QCon London 2026 talk by noting that the long-sought velocity in development has arrived, but the industry is unsure how to use it. She set aside the technical details of agentic coding, focusing instead on its implications for the people working with these systems.

Agoda engineers developed Storefront, a Rust-based S3-compatible reverse proxy that improves load balancing, request routing, and observability across large-scale object storage systems. The proxy addresses DNS-based distribution limitations, implements latency-aware routing, cross-data-center optimizations, IO safeguards, credential-less authentication, and exposes telemetry via OpenTelemetry.

Airbnb has revealed how it significantly improved its observability practices by rethinking how alerts are developed and validated, concluding that what appeared to be a "culture problem" was actually a tooling and workflow gap.

OpenAI announced they are extending the Responses API to make it easier for developer to build agentic workflows, adding support for a shell tool, a built-in agent execution loop, a hosted container workspace, context compaction, and reusable agent skills.

We dive into the critical trifecta of AI-driven phishing, model poisoning, and cloud governance. By rethinking security as a lifecycle responsibility, this issue provides a roadmap for securing the machine age through layered tactics, robust MLOps, and responsible deployment frameworks.

Josh, I read a reference to a Josh Davis of Wired Mag in this article and thought of you. We're putting together our 2013 JUG speaker schedule for GatorJUG, OrlandoJUG and Senejug - let me know if you have some interest in Florida or Africa!
Thanks for coming to Gainesville and speaking about the Grails Portal. Even without some prerequisite programming knowledge, the presentation was informative to me and generated some interesting discussions.
All the best,
Justin
