Now in preview: Find and fix software vulnerabilities with CodeMender

As adversarial AI threats accelerate attacks on code, security teams must counter them with machine-speed defenses that can automate code remediation and fight AI with AI. CodeMender is our managed code security agent, and starting today, we're bringing its code scanning and remediation capabilities directly to you in preview. CodeMender offers access to our generally available models via Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, or it can be deployed as a core component of AI Threat Defense.  CodeMende

Spec-Driven Development Renamed an Old Problem; It Didn't Solve It

Spec Kit, OpenSpec, BMAD, Kiro — all of it is built on the assumption that a spec can stay the source of truth. It can't, for the same reason design docs and wikis never stayed current either. I think the interesting unsolved problem in this space isn't "more rigorous specs," it's "specs that don't require a human to remember to update them." Curious if people running these in production agree. The Pitch Everyone's Making Right Now Spec-driven development has become the default answer to "AI age

One Click From Requirements to Production: The Promise and the Reality

Every few months, a new demo circulates in engineering circles. A product manager types a requirement into a chat window. The AI reads the docs, scans the codebase, writes the code, generates tests, opens a pull request, and deploys the feature. Start to finish, maybe four minutes. The comments fill up with fire emojis and breathless predictions about the end of software engineering as we know it. I have been building enterprise systems for eighteen years. I have shipped platforms that process t
