A photographer has detailed how they automated their 35mm film scanning pipeline, walking through the hardware and software setup that converts developed negatives into digital files with minimal manual work. The writeup covers the practical choices involved, from capturing the frames to batch processing, and is drawing attention from film photography enthusiasts interested in speeding up a normally tedious digitisation workflow.
- 2New Open-Source Tool Automates Pipeline Corrosion SimulationโผNew Open-Source Tool Automates Simulation of Pipeline Pitting Corrosion Monitoring
A new open-source tool has been released that automates the simulation of pitting corrosion monitoring in pipelines. Pitting corrosion is a major cause of pipeline failures, and simulating its progression typically requires significant manual effort. By automating these simulations, the tool could help operators and researchers assess pipeline integrity more efficiently and at lower cost.

A software project called Instant Factory, published by developer Mikola Lysenko, is described as enabling 'instant software factories' โ a claim that has caught the attention of the developer community. Details about what the tool actually does are sparse in the available information, and it is unclear whether it automates code generation, build pipelines, or something else entirely.

Cybersecurity Insiders published a piece arguing that SAP environments are often left out of DevSecOps practices, leaving security gaps in enterprise software delivery. The article outlines how organisations can integrate security testing and automation into SAP development pipelines. It reflects a wider debate about whether mainstream DevSecOps tooling covers legacy business platforms like SAP adequately.

Software developers are connecting AI coding agents together into chained workflows, letting one model hand off tasks to another or orchestrate multi-step programming jobs with less human input. The trend is drawing attention as teams look for bigger productivity gains than single-agent tools deliver, though some developers caution that errors can compound when multiple agents operate in sequence without close oversight.
- 6AI-generated fake bug reports overwhelm Google's security bounty programโผGoogle paid bug hunters to find open-source flaws, then AI flooded the queue with made-up bugs
Google's bug bounty scheme, which pays security researchers to find vulnerabilities in open-source software, has been flooded with large volumes of AI-generated bug reports that appear plausible but are often fabricated or useless. The influx is overwhelming reviewers and making it harder to surface genuine flaws, raising concerns that AI tools are now degrading security research channels built on human expertise.
- 7Software Architecture Fails in Unexpected Places, Engineers SayโSoftware architecture rarely breaks where we expect it to. A system can have clean code, elegant abstractions, carefully
Engineers are discussing how software systems can fail despite clean code, elegant abstractions, well-designed APIs, automated tests and polished deployment pipelines. The argument is that even code that passes every review can start behaving strangely once user numbers grow, meaning architecture tends to break under real-world load rather than at obvious design flaws. The observation is resonating with developers who have seen theoretically sound systems collapse in production.
