At Stanford's Imagination in Action Summit, Randall Lane, Chief Content Officer at Forbes, posed a critical question to the "Autonomous AI in Software" panel: How do you approach adopting AI in heavily regulated industries? Kartikesh Herur, CIO at State Street, offered this thoughtful perspective: "You always have to start with the human in the middle before you get to a truly decision-making autonomous state. So I think we are taking that journey slowly. Really looking at different use cases in terms of where we can deploy it, how we can actually showcase—'cause the key in that regulated industry is to be able to provide the lineage and the decision-making aspects of it."

Blitzy CRO Christopher Harris sharing why our office at Link Ventures gives us an edge—constant access to AI builders and investors who are shaping what's next. From Link's "Building in the Age of AI" founders panel: "We are a rocket ship at Blitzy right now. We're growing ridiculously fast...so it helps us when we're surrounded by leaders who are also ahead in predicting the future."

Curious how Blitzy adds new features to million-line codebases? Doug Sillars challenged Blitzy to add a Git metadata tracking feature to MLflow, an open-source project with 21,000 GitHub stars and over a million lines of code, based on an open GitHub issue. In just 2 hours and 11 minutes, Blitzy's autonomous AI agents analyzed the entire codebase, generated 7 commits across 4 files, and delivered a 100% complete, production-ready feature—accomplishing what would have taken a developer an estimated 24 hours (3 days) of manual work. https://hubs.li/Q03MCC110

Insights from panelist Tom Jackson (CTO, RSM US) at the "Autonomous AI Agents in Software" panel during Imagination in Action at Stanford last month. The all-star lineup included Blitzy co-founder Brian Elliott, Kartikesh Herur (EVP, CIO State Street), and Raj Basu (Partner Galatea Associates and was moderated by Forbes Chief Content Officer Randall Lane.

Insights from StateStreet's EVP & CIO, Kartikesh Herur, during the "Autonomous AI Agents in Software" panel discussion at the Imagination in Action Summit at Stanford University. "...you have to start thinking about that evolution of that agent, because now it's building based on the learnings that it has...but over time it's going to learn and it's going to understand the different factors coming into play that don't exist in today's world."

December 2021: Log4Shell hits. A vulnerability so severe it scored 10/10, affecting an estimated 93% of enterprise cloud environments. Ars Technica called it "arguably the most severe vulnerability ever." Security professionals' descriptions were called "bordering on the apocalyptic" by The Washington Post. The original bug sat undetected in Log4J for 8 years. When discovered, it took multiple emergency patches across several weeks to fully resolve. Doug, a developer relations expert with over 20 years of experience, asked: What if Blitzy's autonomous AI agents had tackled this vulnerability from day one? The challenge: Doug fed Blitzy the vulnerable Log4J 2.14.1 codebase and described the JNDI injection vulnerability—but with one critical constraint: no access to CVE databases, GitHub commits, or any documentation showing how it was actually fixed. Blitzy had to solve it independently. The results: → 5 hours, 20 minutes to generate a complete fix → 11 commits across 8 files → JNDI lookup mechanism removed → Pattern blocking implemented → Failsafes and security controls added → Complete security documentation generated → Risk level reduced from 10/10 to minimal Watch Doug walk through the entire process—from analyzing the vulnerable code to reviewing the PR that hardens Log4J against JNDI injection attacks. The implications for enterprise security teams are massive: vulnerabilities resolved in hours, not weeks. https://hubs.li/Q03LPKmz0 #Cybersecurity #AI #SoftwareDevelopment #VulnerabilityManagement #Log4Shell #EnterpriseAI #DevSecOps

Fireship has a unique way of cutting through the noise: sharp, witty, and always entertaining. While we might not align with every hot take, we deeply value the service his reports provide to the developer community. They spark conversations, surface trends, and keep thousands of devs engaged with what’s next in tech. That’s why we were excited to support this edition of the Code Report and be part of a conversation that reaches such a wide and passionate audience.

When was the last time your technical documentation was fully updated? How much time would your team save with complete, current documentation? Doug Sillars has spent two decades in developer relations, and he's seen it all—codebases with zero inline documentation, repos where new contributors can't figure out where to start, and enterprises losing weeks of productivity every time a developer leaves. So we challenged him: Take an open-source repo, with hundreds of thousands of lines of code and minimal inline documentation—and see what Blitzy's autonomous AI agents could do. The results: → Comprehensive technical specifications generated automatically → Detailed API documentation for every module → Inline code comments added across 700+ files → Module-level guides for every major component → Complete safety system and architectural documentation Doug walks through the entire process in this video—from feeding the codebase into Blitzy to reviewing side-by-side code comparisons showing meaningful documentation where there were none before. The enterprise implications are huge. https://hubs.li/Q03LPkdb0
