AI Agent Architecture Patterns: A Deep Dive into Modern Agent Design AI agents are transforming how we interact with technology. But behind every smart agent lies a carefully designed architecture. In this article, we explore the key patterns that power modern AI agents. What is an AI Agent? An AI agent is a system that can perceive its environment, make decisions, and take actions to achieve specific goals. Unlike traditional chatbots, agents can: Plan multi-step tasks Use external tools and AP...

**# We Somehow Got DaemonCore Into the Microsoft Store I:=DAEMONCORE` Well, this is pretty damn cool. DaemonCore Academy is officially available through the Microsoft Store. There is something slightly surreal about writing that sentence. DaemonCore Academy started with a group of developers, hackers, security people, and professional rabbit-hole explorers who shared a simple belief: Cybersecurity education should be accessible to everyone. No subscription required to start learning. No credit c...
Parts of WordPress that look like they're reading straight from the database are often actually going through an HTTP API behind the scenes. Loading a post list dynamically with JavaScript, or having an external PHP script pull "just the titles and excerpts of the latest three posts" â both of these can be done without touching SQL directly, by calling the REST API that ships with WordPress itself. Understanding this means that whenever you need one system to peek into another WordPress site's c...
DaemonCore Academy: Cybersecurity Education Should Not Have a Cover Charge We built DaemonCore Academy around a fairly radical idea. Education should be free. Not "free for seven days." Not "free until Lesson 4." Not "free, but the labs require Pro." Not "free, but enter your credit card first." Actually free. DaemonCore Academy is being built by a group of developers, hackers, security people, infrastructure nerds, and lifelong technology addicts who share one belief: your ability to learn shou...
Atlassian reports its Rovo Dev AI reviewer cut PR cycle time by up to 45% internally and 32% for customers (primary source, Jan 2026). That figure gets quoted as proof that AI review saves review time. Read what the reviewer is described as doing and the number is mostly about routing. The post says the reviewer enforces engineering standards and Jira acceptance criteria before a person opens the PR. Mechanical checks run first, so most of the read-and-re-read cycle is gone before a human touche...

I've been running multiple migrations recently. A common step in all of them is a long cleanup action at the end. I ended up using postgres advisory locks and sqlx.

We talk to Starcraft GM and Creative Director Dan Hay and Anna Lee Hertling the Associate Manager of Development Operations to learn more about the big reveal from Blizzcon 2026. We learn more about story and lore, the focus on a single player campaign, the potential for armor customization, where the Protoss showed up in the cinematic reveal, why they chose to reveal now even though we're so far from the 2030 release date and more.
Cameron gets hands on with World of Warcraft Forever and shares his five biggest takeaways including new features coming, a new race, customization, visual upgrades and controller support (alpha) at Blizzcon 2026.
StarCraft's reveal trailer squarely put the focus on the Terrans, who later in the cinematic face a terrifying confrontation with the Zerg. The franchise's three franchises--including the Protoss--have always been a central element of what distinguishes StarCraft from other strategy games. Although the Protoss were effectively absent from the trailer, they are a foe you will face at some point. GameSpot spoke with GM and creative director Dan Hay at BlizzCon and asked him about how the three fac...
If you walked away from the StarCraft reveal excited for the franchise to return, but unsure what this new game even is, you're not alone. Aside from being described during the BlizzCon Opening Ceremony as an open-world shooter, Blizzard didn't share much else. In an interview with GameSpot, Blizzard GM Dan Hay provided a few more details, including the fact that it's a third-person game. The StarCraft franchise, having taken the form of real-time strategy games previously, has typically used an...
StarCraft is "focusing on single-player," StarCraft creative director and general manager Dan Hay and associate manager of development operations Anna Lee Hertling said in an interview with GameSpot. One of the biggest announcements of BlizzCon 2026 was the return of StarCraft, described as an open-world shooter and slated for a 2030 release. Aside from its impressive reveal cinematic, there wasn't much additional information about how StarCraft would play or what the shooter reboot of the RTS f...
Thanks to rumors and reports, the announcement of a new StarCraft game taking the form of an open-world shooter did not come as a complete surprise at BlizzCon's Opening Ceremony. What is surprising is when it's coming: 2030. That's a long time from now, and we've heard other developers lament announcing their games too soon. So what made Blizzard reveal StarCraft so far in advance? "We totally get the question. You walk that kind of knife's edge of how much do we want to show, when do we want t...
Diablo 4 won't receive more expansions moving forward, as Blizzard shifts its focus to the newly revealed Diablo 5 instead. As revealed during BlizzCon 2026's opening ceremony, Diablo 5 is slated to be coming in Spring 2029 and is set 100 years after Diablo 4 in a world where the titular Lord of Terror reigns supreme. In an interview with PC Gamer, Diablo game director Brent Gibson said there were no plans for additional Diablo 4 expansions, as the team is instead "focused on seasons [for Diablo...
Diablo 5 isn't coming until Spring 2029, but Blizzard has already revealed three of the game's playable classes. Two of them will be familiar to Diablo 3 fans: the Monk and Demon Hunter. The third will be an all-new class, the Plague Knight. The Plague Knight sounds similar to Death Knights from Blizzard's other fantasy franchise and are described as "walking death" that spread disease and pestilence wherever they go, then consume it to increase their power. Blizzard revealed plenty of new detai...
Heroes of the Storm, Blizzard's MOBA mashup of its various franchises, has largely remained unchanged since its developers moved onto other priorities back in 2022. But as WoW's long-running storylines are moving toward a conclusion that involves Xal'atath, that character is set to be added to HotS, and she arrives quite soon. Blizzard revealed the new addition as part of the BlizzCon Opening Ceremony. Xal'atath will join the Public Test Realm beginning this Monday, September 14, with a full rel...

The shooter will have a "beginning, middle, and end," according to StarCraft GM Dan Hay.

Anthropic's Dario Amodei and OpenAI's Sam Altman seem to agree that it's time to "pace the frontier." What would that actually look like?
Yesterday, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a lengthy open letter saying it was time to "pace the frontier" and slow down AI development. OpenAI's Sam Altman and Elon Musk both agreed, publicly voicing their support on X. Even Alphabet's Demis Hassabis offered tentative support for Amodei's proposal.

Marvel's mishandling of its Blade reboot will likely go down as one of the studio's biggest mistakes.

In retrospect, though, the disappointing demise of Blade might not be such [âŚ]
