Honest question for DBAs and devs: How far do you actually let an AI coding agent into your database work?

No judgement. We just want to know where the community line is.

Stop treating cybersecurity compliance like a checklist—it’s an architecture problem. The EU CRA is now official, and it targets the industry’s weakest link: the supply chain. If your product uses third-party components, you are now legally responsible for their security posture.

3 essentials to know: CE Marking: Mandatory conformity for software. Duty of Care: Legal liability for the entire lifecycle. Transparency: You can’t secure what you can’t see.
Is the CRA a bottleneck or a structural opportunity for your team?

Is MySQL hitting a 30-year mid-life crisis or a second wind?

My first post for @InfoWorld looks at the "stasis" in MySQL innovation. Perfect timing for the #FOSDEM crowd—are the announcements this week enough to close the gap with Postgres? https://t.co/0RglcwB6Ln

I’ve been quiet for a bit, but a recent argument at my local tennis club got me thinking. 🎾

If your first reaction to a member's post is "don't post that here," you aren't managing a community—you're policing it. 👮‍♂️
