Auvik Aurora and the Future of AI in IT Operations

We built something called Auvik Aurora, and before you scroll any further, I can already hear your thoughts. “Wait a second, Anto. Is this going to be another blog post giving me the hard sell on using AI?” Fair enough, I don’t think anyone would blame you, especially when we’re seeing AI adoption across nearly every industry, tool, hobby, workflow, or even . The blank is intentional, AI is everywhere, and chances are that you already know that it matters.

How to Ship AI-Generated Code to Production

AI writes code. But shipping to production? That still takes a software engineer. In this GitKon talk, Chris Kelly from Augment Code breaks down what it actually means to use AI-assisted development to write production-ready code, not vibe code. If you've been using AI coding assistants and wondering why the output doesn't always make it past code review, this is for you. Chris covers: Key takeaway: The engineers who will thrive aren't the ones who let AI do everything. They're the ones who know how to review, direct, and architect around what AI produces.

How to Improve Your Documentation with AI (CircleCI Chunk Tutorial)

AI coding assistants help you ship features fast, but documentation almost never keeps up.

AI matched or beat physicians on real-world clinical reasoning

A major new study from Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center has found that a large language model (LLM) outperformed physicians across a wide range of clinical reasoning tasks, including making emergency-room triage decisions from messy, real-world patient data. The findings, published April 30 in Science, represent one of the largest comparisons yet between AI and physicians on clinical tasks.

Why I Give My Engineers $5,000 Per Month Of Claude Code Tokens

A few weeks ago, a group of engineering leaders I trade notes with got into it over a question none of us has a clean answer to: How much should you let an engineer spend on AI? One SVP at a company of similar size and stage is in calibration mode and capping engineers at $200 per month. Hit the cap, you can self-bump by $100. Hit that, you need your manager. I told the thread our number. $5,000.

Infrastructure for AI Agents: what platform teams need to build now

If an AI agent in your development workflow needed to spin up a test environment tonight, how many manual steps would stand between the request and the environment being ready? By early 2026, AI agents have transitioned from simple code assistants to first-class platform citizens. They are running test suites, analyzing performance, and triggering deployments.
