A new feature spotlights open source games sourced from small, lesser-known repositories rather than popular rankings. The selection aims to surface playable projects that might otherwise go unnoticed by mainstream audiences.
In an essay, Montana State University professor and consultant Carson Gross describes a shift he has observed in client organizations adopting agentic coding: Markdown documents are increasingly the source of truth for systems, with LLM-generated code treated as a derived, low-level artifact. He cites Hartley Brody's earlier essay 'Markdown is the new source code' to support the observation, and argues that Markdown specs should be checked into /src alongside the code and tests they generate, rather than living only in transient prompt sessions.
An essay draws a parallel between the historical shift in bridge construction from stonemasons hand-placing stone to carpenters building wooden forms for poured concrete, and today's shift in software development driven by AI code generation. The author argues developers are moving from directly writing code line-by-line, like stonemasons, to constructing structures such as tests, documentation and guardrails that shape what AI generates, akin to carpenters building molds.
CrowdSec disclosed that a leak of its private source code repositories occurred in May 2026 and was reported to the company on September 16. The exposed material includes SaaS console code, AWS routines, connectors, and CI/CD tokens, but excludes CrowdSec's public Security Engine software. The company found no evidence of leaked credentials, customer data, or login information, and believes the Tanstack supply-chain compromise was the likely entry point.
Makepad creator Rik Arends built a 3D navigable tool that renders up to 2.5 million lines of source code at over 120 frames per second, initially requiring 21GB of RAM before optimizations to indexing and streaming compression brought usage down to 3.5GB. He also tested loading Chromium's 51-million-line codebase, which took about 60 seconds.
