New Relic and Agentic DevOps with Nic Benders

Software Engineering Daily ·

2026/04/14

Observability emerged from the need to understand complex software systems, and involves tracking metrics, logs, and traces so engineers can detect and diagnose problems before they affect users. However, modern applications often encompass hundreds of services, containers, and dependencies, generating more observability data than dashboards and alerts alone can effectively surface.

Mobile App Security with Ryan Lloyd

Software Engineering Daily ·

2026/04/09

Mobile apps have become a primary interface for critical services, including banking, payments, and healthcare. Unlike web applications, much of the logic and intellectual property in a mobile app lives directly on the user’s device, which is an environment the developer doesn’t control. That makes mobile apps uniquely exposed to reverse engineering, runtime manipulation, andThe post Mobile App Security with Ryan Lloyd appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

2026/03/26

Modern cloud-native systems are built on highly dynamic, distributed infrastructure where containers spin up and down constantly, services communicate across clusters, and traditional networking assumptions break down. Linux networking was designed decades ago around static IPs and linear rule processing, which makes it increasingly difficult to achieve scale in Kubernetes environments.

Prettier and Opinionated Code Formatting with James Long

Software Engineering Daily ·

2026/03/19

Developer tooling shapes how software gets written day to day, but the best tools often disappear into the background once they succeed. Formatting, linting, and build systems can either create friction and endless debate, or quietly remove entire classes of problems from a team’s workflow. Over the past decade, the JavaScript ecosystem has wrestled withThe post Prettier and Opinionated Code Formatting with James Long appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.
