Coding agents powered by large language models have shown impressive capabilities in software engineering tasks, but evaluating their performance across diverse programming languages and real-world scenarios remains challenging. This led to a recent explosion in benchmark creation to assess the coding effectiveness of said systems in controlled environments. In particular, SWE-Bench which measures the performance […]

Software runs the world – not just the new software applications built in modern languages and deployed on the most optimized cloud infrastructure, but also legacy software built over years and barely understood by the teams that inherit them. These legacy applications may have snowballed into monolithic blocks or may be fragmented across siloed on-premises […]

As I sat down to write this post, my daughter called from the top of the Eiffel Tower on a trip with her high school class. While she excitedly pointed her camera toward the Parisian skyline, I was struck by how technology has transformed our concept of distance. Her world, at eighteen, is infinitely more […]
