Youth safety requirements are moving down the tech stack to operating systems and app stores—raising new questions for open source developers.
Researchers share in an interview how they used GitHub data to predict GDP, inequality, and emissions in ways that traditional economic data misses, along with our Q4 2025 data release.
This afternoon, we sent the following email to our global team. One of our core values at Cloudflare is transparency, and we believe it's important that you hear this directly from us because it’s a major moment at Cloudflare.
When a critical Linux kernel privilege escalation was publicly disclosed, Cloudflare's security and engineering teams detected, investigated, and mitigated the threat across our global fleet, confirming zero customer impact and no malicious exploitation.
Agentic workflows that run on every pull request can quietly accumulate large API bills. Here’s how we instrumented our own production workflows, found the inefficiencies, and built agents to fix them.
A practical guide to reviewing agent-generated pull requests: what to look for, where issues hide, and how to catch technical debt before it ships.

Excerpt By 2024, Slack’s data platform had accumulated 700+ SSH-based operators orchestrating critical data pipelines. We’re talking daily search indexing that processed terabytes of data, analytics jobs powering business intelligence, the whole shebang. Every single one of these jobs required direct SSH access to production AWS Elastic MapReduce (EMR) clusters. We had a massive security…
Design always starts with function — function shapes form. But if that function can’t be made completely invisible and people still have to interact with it, it inevitably becomes part of their experience. In this article, Kyrylo Levashov shares four common software design assumptions.
