Aikido Security found 151 malicious packages uploaded to GitHub in one week that hid their payload in invisible Unicode characters, leaving reviewers staring at code that looked completely blank.

Anthropic's new `/btw` command lets Claude Code handle side conversations while a long-running task is still in progress. For small teams, that means less waiting, fewer broken workflows, and a more practical way to use AI during real development work.

Anthropic just added Code Review to Claude Code. When a pull request opens, Claude dispatches a team of agents to hunt for bugs, giving small dev teams a stronger review layer without adding headcount.

Claude Code now renders interactive option pickers and date selectors mid-task instead of guessing at ambiguous decisions. Here is what changed, why it matters for multi-step coding sessions, and how to trigger it consistently using AGENTS.md.

StepSecurity documented an active campaign where an autonomous bot exploited GitHub Actions across major open source repos. Here is what happened, what is verifiable, and the practical hardening checklist for SMB teams.

Setting temperature=0 is supposed to make LLMs deterministic. In production, the same prompt still returns different answers. Here's the actual reason why, and the three engineering approaches solving it right now.
