Business is essentially software-driven these days and in the era of AI generated code the need for better software delivery compliance tools has never been more critical. For companies in regulated industries, and those simply seeking higher quality software delivery, with processes and effective controls, compliance was already a significant challenge. Compliance and audit are closely related, and too often the approach has been to wait until the audit happens, and then hustle and hope.

Applications, services and infrastructures are becoming ever more distributed. Meanwhile expectations for fast feedback loops and iterations in the software delivery process are greater than ever.

The demand for Claude 4 already in just 24 hours is absolutely insane. My favorite part is hearing from all the startups on the cutting edge who've now tried Opus and suddenly their product just... works.
RT @kevinroose: I’m calling for a six-month moratorium on AI progress. Not for safety, just so I can take a nap.
This does worry me. Software development should not be only for the rich.
When starting as a developer, I couldn't afford Borland C builder, and chose languages with free environments. The big change was web development, which was free and independent of tools. When I hear now that magical AI coding tools cost you $200/month we're back to gatekeeping.
