Buttondown cut its database from 2TB to 750GB by deleting three legacy tables

Buttondown’s 'Great Pruning' is a small-SaaS operations story about deleting architecture rather than adding it. The company removed duplicated or over-retained request and email-event data after changing how those workloads were processed.

Android Bench 2.0 shows frontier coding agents still fail most multi-day Android tasks

Android Bench 2.0 moves coding-agent evaluation away from small repository fixes toward dependency upgrades, app builds, migrations and other jobs that can take a human engineer days. The results expose a much larger reliability gap than short-task benchmarks—and show that the agent harness can materially change cost and outcome.

GPT-6 Astra reaches broad API rollout with 1.05M context — and enterprise computer-use controls

Astra's adoption question is no longer only model capability. Builders can now model its long-context economics and task-level efficiency, while enterprises get a more explicit control plane for computer use. The same release also raises the cyber-safety boundary: OpenAI says Astra is its first model to reach the Preparedness Framework's Critical cybersecurity capability threshold.

GitSpawn shows how a repository’s own Git config can escape AI coding-agent safety boundaries

The useful lesson is architectural rather than vendor-specific: coding agents inherit execution paths from ordinary developer tooling. If an agent shells out to Git without sanitising repository-local configuration, a hidden `.git/config` can become a host-level command channel that bypasses the controls users think govern the model.
