AI Didn't Change the Game, It Just Exposed Your Bottlenecks w/ Ganesh Datta (CTO, Cortex)

Every engineering org says they want to improve reliability — but most can't even agree on what "good" looks like. Ganesh Datta, Co-Founder and CTO of Cortex, has spent the better part of a decade helping companies confront that gap.

RalphCI: The Self-Healing AI Coding Loop That Automatically Fixes CI Failures

RalphCI is an open-source, CI-enabled agentic coding loop built by the Loop Lab at CircleCI. You write a spec, and the agent breaks it down into tasks, builds your application step by step, commits to GitHub, and runs your full CI pipeline on every iteration. If anything fails—linting, tests, security scans, missing files—a CI Doctor sub-agent detects the failure, reads the stack trace, and fixes it automatically. In this video, Ryan Hamilton demos RalphCI by building a classic Snake game end-to-end with zero manual coding.

Load Testing Vs Stress Testing | Resilience Testing | Harness

Load testing and stress testing are two important parts of performance testing, but they serve very different purposes. Load testing checks how your application behaves when many users access it at the same time under normal or expected conditions. It helps you understand if your system can handle real-world traffic smoothly without slowing down.

Rovo Chat in Bitbucket now understands your Pipelines

Why did your build fail? Ask Rovo, get a clear answer, and even a way to fix it, from anywhere in Bitbucket Pipeline debugging is one of the most common and most painful parts of the development workflow. In our Atlassian research: AI adoption is rising, but friction persists, over 50% of developers reported losing more than 10 hours each week searching for information, onboarding to new code, or toggling between apps.

AI Enablement for Dev Teams: The 6-Pillar Flywheel

AI adoption is already happening on your team, whether you have a strategy or not. Tracy Lee (CEO of This Dot Labs, Microsoft MVP, Google Developer Expert) breaks down the AI Enablement Flywheel — a 6-pillar framework used by successful engineering organizations to move from scattered experimentation to scalable, ROI-positive AI workflows.

From IC to VP: Engineering Leadership at Every Level, with Box's Tamar Bercovici

Cortex co-founder and CTO Ganesh Datta sits down with Tamar Bercovici, VP of Engineering at Box, who spent 15 years at the company growing from senior IC to leading its core platform organization, to talk about what engineering leadership looks like at each level of the org.

Platform engineering metrics: What to measure and what to ignore

Platform engineering teams have access to hundreds of metrics, yet over 40% of platform initiatives cannot demonstrate measurable value within the first year. Teams that cannot quantify their impact fail to obtain executive sponsorship, risk being defunded, and ultimately, face deprecation. To accurately calculate a platform’s ROI, platform engineering teams need to differentiate between signals that measure platform effectiveness and those that should be used solely for investigative purposes.
