Why we stopped hiring for the skills we used to hire for

Aug 19, 2026 By Harness In Harness
Six engineers, two QA, a product owner and a Scrum Master used to be a normal squad. With today's tooling, that's bloat. Teams are being rebuilt around three people.

The infrastructure work you should not have to touch just to ship a feature

Aug 19, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
You wrote the feature. It works locally. Then you spend the next two hours on things that have nothing to do with the feature: a Terraform plan that wants to replace a database you didn't touch, a Kubernetes manifest that needs a new ingress rule, an IAM policy that's one permission short of what the deploy needs.

Vulnerabilities used to move at human speed. A researcher found one, disclosed it, and defenders had days - sometimes weeks - to respond before it was weaponized in the wild. That window is gone. According to the Edgescan 2026 Vulnerability Statistics Report, it still takes an average of 55 days to fix a vulnerability - but the Zero Day Clock shows attackers going from disclosure to first exploit in as little as 6 hours.

Power Usage Effectiveness has long been used as a metric to calculate data center efficiency. For roughly the last two decades, this popular metric has been used to manage data centers throughout the world.

Aug 18, 2026 By Pulsant In Pulsant
UK data centre occupancy hit 91% in 2024, according to Arizton market data, and new capacity is not arriving fast enough to close the gap. Grid connection wait times for new projects now run between five and 15 years, reports Data Center Dynamics, and Savills has attributed the 11% year-on-year drop in new capacity delivery to power constraints rather than a lack of demand or investment.
