Strong Active Directory passwords don't have to come at the expense of usability. Specops Software explains how passphrases, breached password protection, and self-service resets can improve security without frustrating users. [...]
Conductor on Vercel Multiple parallel coding agents running at scale in the cloud Model-agnostic, works with Claude Code, Codex, and other coding agents Used by engineering teams at Notion, Linear, Ramp, and Life360 Interacting with a single coding agent feels natural, and Conductor makes directing a fleet of agents just as intuitive. It's a GUI for spinning up multiple coding agents in parallel, each working on an isolated branch of your codebase at once. You review their work, merge what
AI’s impact on software engineering continues, and more and more of that AI is packaged as agents as results from our newest pulse survey show agentic usage has almost doubled (59%) since we last asked about it in our annual Developer Survey
