⏱️ How I Program With Agents Agents are simply "9 lines of code" - a for loop containing an LLM call that can execute commands and see output without human intervention. David explains the basics of agents and showcases how he implemented GitHub App auth in days rather than weeks, despite the agent creating initial security vulnerabilities that were quickly caught and fixed through proper code review. |

⚡ Denuvo Analysis Denuvo is currently the most successful anti-tamper software in video games, and much can be learned in cryptography from its workings. Reverse engineer Conor explores the techniques used in it, including mixed-boolean arithmetic, bit vector storage, and stack-based anti-hooking measures that make it nearly uncrackable. |

⚙️ When Google Sneezes, the Whole World Catches a Cold Yesterday, a faulty backend rollout in Google Cloud's Identity and Access Management service caused global authentication failures across GCP products, Cloudflare, and even Claude. Engineers had to roll back binaries and purge bad configs while forcing token cache refreshes across regions. This incident shows how a single cloud provider's hiccup can ripple across the entire internet infrastructure. |

🏷️ o3 80% Price Drop and First Thoughts on o3-Pro OpenAI cut o3 costs from $10/$40 to $2/$8 per million tokens, matching GPT-4.1 pricing. The new o3-pro variant costs $20/$80 and delivers 64% win rate against base o3. Simple tests don't capture its strengths, o3-pro is context-hungry and shines for complex problem solving and workflows. |
