I JUST RECEIVED THE FINAL VERSION OF THE BOOK!🥹
We poured EVERYTHING into this book. Many books focus on AI from the perspective of the highest levels of education but what about the average corporate dev that wants to stay ahead & do well at their jobs?
We wrote this for you!
Twice a year we do a cohort with our community. This cohort, 3 people have landed jobs in tech BEFORE THE COHORT IS EVEN COMPLETE! 🥹
The talking points they walk out with are what wins interviews for them and makes the conversations go the way they need them to. – at Frisco, TX
Atlassian's Team For Builders conference CFP has officially opened! Submit your talks! It will be in Germany and India!
INDIA! I am finally coming out there!
We need to organize some software developer meetups too! 👀

Why is CYC such a big deal?
Why is the cohort we do such a big deal?
This is why!
CYC created opportunities for people.

So many speakers are asking for me to open the CFP Early for CYC27. I feel like it’s way too early, but people seem very adamant about it. What are your thoughts?
It's still 2026. Is it wise to open CFP this early?
I used to think the smartest person in the room was the one with all the answers. Now I realize it's often the person asking the question that makes everyone reconsider theirs. – at Frisco, TX
Giving out Halloween candy today, I go ALL out with candy.
We have Korean Candy, Japanese Candy, Full size bars, etc. but the thing everyone has been gushing about?
The trick or treat mode on this @Tesla.
The adults and kids have LOVED it!
I'm genuinely impressed! – at Frisco, TX
When is an appropriate time to finally start putting up Christmas decorations?
... Asking for a friend👀
This is why cyber security and guardrails matter so much. If a single exposure from an employee laptop leads to $6.3 BILLION in losses, you need better guardrails. – at Frisco, TX
Binance's initial investigation suggests that the security incident may involve a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop, which allowed an attacker to gain access to a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions. We have found no evidence of any wallet private key leak. We will share a detailed technical post-mortem once the investigation is complete and the facts are fully verified.
The estimated total impact sits at around $6.3B. We have worked with blockchain partners to freeze affected assets, with ~$3 billion frozen on-chain so far.
Binance will cover all losses from the SAFU fund and the company’s funds. User funds are safe. We will also publish an updated Proof of Reserves once the remediation is complete.
As an immediate precaution, Binance has:
- temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals while security checks are completed;
- revoked the affected address authorisation;
- engaged law enforcement and blockchain intelligence partners to trace and recover funds.
Our teams are working around the clock to resolve this issue safely and thoroughly. We are working closely with our law enforcement partners to confirm the identity of these criminals and bring them to justice.
Please rely only on official Binance channels for updates. Please feel free to contact Binance Customer Support if you have any further questions.

What happens when you put 200 Jira admins, PMs & developers in one room?
If my team is there, you get them talking about Forge and Atlassian MCP!
We watched “I wish I could do this with my instance” turn into “WAIT... WE CAN BUILD THAT?!”
From workshops to talks, we had everyone building apps for their companies and learning about workflows! – at Highland Park, TX

what are some of the coolest use cases of Grok Bot you've seen or done yourself?
so far i've used it to:
- opt out of sites that collect your data to reduce spam calls thanks to @DThompsonDev.
- reservation & date bot that goes and checks availability and makes reservations for my gf & i.
- paper discovery bot, where it notifies me of new papers & research released on ML.
Hanging out at The Build IT Together Conference in Dallas! The community has really come out and is learning together! So many different topics and Atlassian Champions helping others grow! Today my team has been delivering workshops on Forge and tomorrow I speak on MCP!

Almost 1,000 GitHub accounts compromised which means they probably have 5,000 unfinished projects, 12,000 YouTube tutorials, and maybe 12 projects making money. – at Frisco, TX
🚨 850+ compromised GitHub accounts. 13,500+ malicious branches.
Researchers uncovered 'Gheist,' an ongoing campaign using stolen tokens to plant GitHub Actions workflows that dump private repo secrets into logs.
Attackers download the logs, then delete the runs.
