A drive fails in a RAID 5 array. During the 15-hour rebuild, a second disk throws an unrecoverable read error. Your entire array is gone.

On paper, RAID 5 looks like a smart compromise for extra capacity. In reality, rebuilding multi-terabyte drives hammers the surviving disks right when they are most vulnerable. If a second drive gives out during that long read window, you lose everything.

Write performance is an even bigger trap. Running a busy database on parity RAID forces the controller into four physical I/O operations for every single write. While a simple static site barely touches the disk, transactional workloads stall out trying to compute parity math under load.

We broke down the actual IOPS math for real production workloads. Here’s when a standard RAID 1 mirror is plenty, why databases require RAID 10, and where RAID 6 actually makes sense.

82% of organizations carry security debt, up from 74% a year ago (Veracode, State of Software Security 2026).

Security debt is the backlog of known vulnerabilities left unfixed for over a year. It builds up quietly, and paying it down starts with making room for fixes in everyday work.

Where it comes from:
• Rushed releases that skip security checks
• Skill gaps, when the team doesn't know which issues to look for
• Blind spots in testing and monitoring
• Issues nobody owns

How to stop it from growing:
• Reserve time for security work in every sprint
• Add security checks to your definition of done
• Assign an owner to each security issue
• Retest before closing tickets
• Use quiet periods between incidents to review and patch

How to find what's hiding:
• Keep an inventory of the software and components you run
• Check third-party code: it accounts for 66% of critical security debt
• Run pe*******on tests to uncover weak spots
• Train your team to spot and fix issues early

How to pay it down:
• Fix the highest-risk vulnerabilities first
• Watch for new vulnerabilities as they appear
• Build automated security checks into your CI/CD pipeline
• Plan a security budget at the start of each project

What you gain: fewer emergency fixes and more time for planned work. Start with one overdue fix this week.

What's the oldest open security ticket on your board?

Inspired by this year’s horror hits. We gave them an AI-era rewrite.

Swipe through. Some of these plots sound a little too familiar…

Your AI agent agrees with everything, including its own bad code.

Reality check: require human review and don’t let agents merge their own PRs.

Your agent hits the same error and keeps trying. And trying. And spending.

Exit: set iteration limits, timeouts, and spend caps.

10,000 bots hit your server at once.

Vaccine: filter DDoS traffic at the edge and add rate limits behind it.

Your “CTO” calls asking for admin access. The voice sounds exactly right.

Hang up: verify the request through a trusted second channel. Keep MFA on every admin account.

Your AI agent recommends a library that doesn’t exist and backs it up with a source that doesn’t either.

Debunk: check every package, API, and link before you use it.

PHP security update: fixes are out. Update now.

PHP has released patches for the two critical vulnerabilities we reported earlier: CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619. Both can allow unauthenticated remote code ex*****on.

Fixed versions: 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 and 8.2.35.

Back up, install the appropriate update, and restart the services running PHP. If you use distribution or control panel packages, check your vendor for patched builds.

Running PHP 8.1 or older? Contact your vendor about backported fixes or migrate to a supported branch.

Updating is the only complete fix.

We’ve all seen these mistakes. Swipe through for the green cards in the captions.

🟩 GREEN CARD: free weekly backups. No “later” required.

🟩 GREEN CARD: patch and restart on schedule. Our 99.99% uptime SLA covers the infrastructure underneath.

🟩 GREEN CARD: a password manager takes the same five seconds and doesn’t end in a headline.

🟩 GREEN CARD: same VPS environment for dev and prod. No more «works on my machine.»

Drop yours in the comments. We’ve all got one.
