Open is Not Costless: Reclaiming Sustainable Infrastructure

| | Central
For years, the software industry treated public package registries like a law of nature. They were simply there. Immutable, invisible, and somehow outside the normal rules of cost, capacity, and responsibility ... Read More
AgentOps Is Here: What DevSecOps Leaders Need to Do Now

AgentOps Is Here: What DevSecOps Leaders Need to Do Now

We've seen this pattern before. The industry gets a new kind of leverage, treats it like a tool upgrade, and then acts surprised when the operating model snaps under the strain. Waterfall didn't "become" Agile because of Jira. DevOps didn't "become" DevSecOps because someone added a scanner to CI. Those shifts ... Read More

We've Been Building Toward This Moment For months, I've been writing about a growing tension at the center of AI-powered development: AI can now generate code at extraordinary speed, yet our ability to govern that code hasn't evolved to match it. In a series of articles, I explored the emerging ... Read More
The Last Mile Problem: AI Can Write Code, But Only Policy Can Ship It

The Last Mile Problem: AI Can Write Code, But Only Policy Can Ship It

Artificial intelligence (AI) can already write code that compiles, runs, and sometimes even surprises us by passing tests. In many ways, it's crossed the threshold that once separated "assisted coding" from "autonomous creation." ... Read More

From Generic Code to Specialist AI: How MCP Will Reshape the Developer Experience

One of the challenges with using AI and LLMs to generate code today is that they mostly produce generic code. That shouldn't surprise us ... Read More

The LLM Dependency Trap

Large language models are reshaping how we write software. With a few prompts, developers can generate boilerplate, integrate dependencies, write tests, and scaffold entire systems in a fraction of the time it used to take ... Read More

From Abuse to Alignment: Why We Need Sustainable Open Source Infrastructure

Open source doesn't run on any individual project, foundation, or company — it runs on shared infrastructure. That's why we've come together with other stewards to issue a Joint Statement on Sustainable Stewardship ... Read More

The End of Tribal Knowledge: Why Contextual Policy Is the Foundation for Agentic AI Development

For years, the challenge in software security and governance hasn't been knowing what to do, but instead scaling that knowledge across fast-moving teams. At Sonatype, we invested heavily in solving that through contextual policy. Not just rules, but rules that understood intent. Rules that prioritized based on usage, risk, and ... Read More
