Linux Linux 7.0 RC6 Is Busier Than It Should Be, and Torvalds Isn't Happy About It Linux 7.0 RC6 landed with more fixes than Torvalds wants to see this late in the cycle, and RC5's calm turned out to be a mirage. He's not panicking yet — but he's also not making promises about the release date, and he suspects better AI coding tools might be partly responsible for the noise.
Artificial intelligence Amazon's Mass Layoffs, Kiro AI, and Why Shipping AI-Generated Code to Production Should Terrify You Amazon fired 1,800+ engineers while forcing staff onto its Kiro AI tool. Here's why that's a cybersecurity disaster waiting to happen — and what it means for every developer.
