[Cursor] Bugbot is out of beta

Bugbot hunts bugs in PR diffs, flagging logic slip-ups and strange edge cases. It then detects security gaps, blending top LLMs with custom heuristics. It plugs into the Cursor dashboard and runs dedicated Bugbot rules.Beta stats: 1M+ reviews, 1.5M+ issues found. Half the bugs are fixed before merge.. read more

The vibe coder's career path is doomed

An AI-powered dev workflow combinedClaude,Playwright, and aPostgres-backed REST APIto ship 2–3 features per day. But as complexity grew, multi-agent loops broke down, tests ballooned, and schema drift demanded increasingly precise prompts and manual corrections.The result: more time spent managing c.. read more

The Future of Threat Emulation: Building AI Agents that Hunt Like Cloud Adversaries

AI agents tap MCP servers andStrands Agents. They fire off tools that chart IAM permission chains and sniff out AWS privilege escalations. Enter the “Sum of All Permissions” method. It hijacks EC2 Instance Connect, warps through SSM to swipe data, and leaps roles—long after static scanners nod off. .. read more

Seeing like an LLM

LLMs function as next-token predictors. With scant user context, they hallucinate—spinning fresh backstories. As these models morph into autonomous agents, context engineering—feeding facts, memory, tools, guardrails—halts rogue behavior. Trend to watch:A jump in context engineering. It pins LLMs t.. read more

What Is IDOR? Finding and Preventing Insecure Direct Object References in AWS APIs
DevOpsDayLA is Southern California's premier conference focused on the human side of technology delivery. For 15 years, we've brought together SoCal practitioners who understand that great software isn't just about tools, it's about people working together effectively.

The 2026 Lens: DevOps in an AI World: You're working in a world where AI is everywhere, embedded in your tools, requested by your management, and reshaping how teams deliver software. Whether you're embracing these changes or navigating the challenges they create, your experience matters.

We're looking for stories about how you and your organizations are adapting your mindsets, processes, and team dynamics in this rapidly evolving landscape. How did your team integrate AI into existing workflows? What changed about collaboration when AI entered the picture? Where do humans remain critical in automated processes? How do you build the next generation of engineers when entry-level work is automated? What are the real implementation challenges you're facing in Southern California's entertainment, gaming, aerospace, retail, healthcare, and manufacturing companies?

What makes DevOpsDayLA different: We focus on culture, collaboration, and cross-industry implementation stories rather than pure technical deep-dives. We're all about the people and processes that make technology successful in an AI world, not the technology itself.

We especially welcome new speakers, under-represented voices, and fresh perspectives from across SoCal's diverse tech landscape.
