In the Age of AI, Taste Isn't About Aesthetics

AI can generate a UI in seconds. So what do designers actually bring to the table? Marcela, Principal Product Designer at Rootly and former Founding Designer at Ramp, has spent 20 years in design. Her answer: taste isn't about aesthetics or crafting pleasant interactions. It's about asking the uncomfortable questions, and choosing the right problem, not the easiest one.

Auto-Generate Tests for Your Codebase with AI (CircleCI Chunk Tutorial)

AI coding tools help you ship features faster than ever, but test coverage often can't keep up. In this video, we show you how CircleCI's Chunk autonomous CI/CD agent finds untested code in your codebase, writes tests to cover it, and opens a pull request for your review. What you'll learn: Chunk works directly inside your CI/CD pipeline, giving it access to your build history, test results, and coverage reports. That means smarter tests, not just more tests.

You're Running Agents. Your Tooling Is Still Catching Up.

Introducing GitKraken Desktop 12.0. At some point in the last year, the question shifted. It stopped being “should I use AI coding agents?” and became “how do I run more than one at a time without losing my mind?” If you’ve been there, you know what the management layer looks like.

Once it's over, the post-mortem itself can feel like the finish line. You've documented what happened, been honest about it, identified what went wrong. It feels like the work is done.

Cloud Cost Visibility at Scale: Why It Fails & How to Fix It | Harness Blog

Why does your cloud cost visibility break down the moment someone spins up a Kubernetes cluster in a new region without telling anyone? You get the alert three weeks later when the bill arrives — and by then, nobody remembers which experiment justified the spend, or which team should own it. This scenario repeats constantly across platform teams managing multi-cloud environments at scale. Cloud cost visibility works fine when you have five services and one AWS account.

Women in Tech: Journeys, Grit, and the Future We're Building | Harness Blog

Technology evolves rapidly — but progress in tech isn’t driven by tools alone. It’s driven by people. By curiosity. By courage. By individuals who choose to step into complex systems and shape how they function. As an engineering leader driving application and API security, I have always believed that our industry is at its best when complex concepts are made accessible and practical for everyone.
