The DevSecOps Paradox: Why Security Automation Is Both Solving and Creating Pipeline Vulnerabilities (Tue, 24 Feb 2026)
The numbers tell a troubling story. Forty-five percent of cyberattacks in 2024 exploited weaknesses in CI/CD pipelines, according to industry tracking data. Not application code. Not user credentials. The build and deployment infrastructure itself. This represents a fundamental shift in how attackers think. Why spend weeks crafting an exploit for production systems when you can compromise the pipeline that deploys to those systems? Poison the well, and every downstream service drinks contaminated water.

Performance-Centric Platform Engineering: Shared Responsibility, Guardrails, and Tenant Isolation (Tue, 24 Feb 2026)
Platform engineering today isn't just about making deployments faster; it's also about making sure that performance is always predictable, reliable, and scalable. As companies start using internal developer platforms (IDPs) on Kubernetes, performance engineering must shift from being an application-level concern to a platform-embedded discipline. This is where Performance by Design emerges: a model where responsibility is shared, guardrails are enforced, and tenant isolation ensures fairness and reliability across workloads.

How to Extract Document Summaries in C#/.NET (Tue, 24 Feb 2026)
Document Summarization: A Significant Value-Add in the AI Boom C# developers are often saddled with building document-heavy processing workflows across enterprise systems. When we think about what “document processing” means, we probably focus on things like extraction, validation, conversion, storage, etc., but in many modern systems, being able to quickly parse an understanding of what a document contains is often just as important as parsing data from it. Whether we’re processing PDFs from an upload workflow, or tapping into an email server to handle inbound email attachments, or even dealing with hand-scanned images from mobile devices, producing short, readable document summaries can drastically improve how downstream systems and users interact with those documents. A concise summary paragraph can help with anything from document approval & review to search indexing or triage (among many other examples).
