Access - SAML assertion encryption for identity providers

Cloudflare Access now supports SAML assertion encryption for identity provider integrations. When turned on, your identity provider encrypts SAML assertions using a Cloudflare-managed certificate before sending them through the user's browser. Only Access can decrypt these assertions, protecting sensitive identity data even after TLS termination. Without encryption, SAML assertions are transmitted in plaintext and could be visible to browser extensions or client-side malware. SAML encryption in

Building Your First Developer Agent With OpenAI Agents SDK

A developer agent should not start by writing code. That may sound strange, but if you are building an agent for real engineering work, the first version should be cautious. It should read an issue, inspect the codebase, create a plan, suggest tests, and generate a pull request summary. Only later should it edit files. That is how you build trust. In this article, we will build a small developer agent using the OpenAI Agents SDK. The goal is not to create a fully autonomous engineer. The goal is

I built a Chrome extension that tests web forms with AI

Dev log #1 Hi, I'm Denyse. I'm a software engineer, and for the past two months I've been building a tool I'm genuinely excited about. It's a Chrome extension that takes a requirements document, uses AI to generate test cases, and then drives a real web form the same way a human QA tester would filling fields, clicking dropdowns, reading validation messages, and producing a pass/fail report. I'm calling it QA Helper, and I'm going to start writing about it every week. Some weeks will be deep tec

How I Used the JVM’s JDWP to Cut GlassFish Redeploys from 2 Minutes to 5 Seconds

Building a command-line hot-swap workflow for GlassFish using JVM debugging internals: no IntelliJ Ultimate, no JRebel, no custom JVM. Repo: glassfish-hotswap-cli If you've worked on a Jakarta EE application running on GlassFish, you probably know this routine. Change a line of Java. Save. Rebuild the WAR. Wait while it undeploys, redeploys, and re-warms CDI, EJBs, JPA, JSF, and everything else. Then finally refresh the browser. By the time the deploy log finishes scrolling, you've forgotten wha

How I use pluckmd to read blogs with an AI agent

I wanted to read blog posts with an LLM in the loop, not just on my own. The push came from two places. Karpathy's LLM Wiki idea, where the model keeps a folder of markdown notes as you learn a topic. And Thariq's post on how well Claude generates interactive HTML, which is now on the Anthropic blog. Put together, the workflow I wanted looked like this: pull blog articles into markdown, have an agent index them into a wiki, then generate interactive HTML pages to learn from. Step one was the blo

Run Claude Code For Free (for Fun and Profit)

Uber blew through its entire 2026 IT budget on AI in 4 months. The State of FinOps Report now lists "FinOps for AI" as the number one priority for 2026 — surpassing traditional cloud cost optimization for the first time. And in typical fighting-an-AI-problem-with-more-AI fashion, Google announced a FinOps Explainability agent at Cloud Next '26 whose entire job is to autonomously investigate why your other AI is costing so much. They also shipped Spend Caps that literally pause your API traffic w
