    Firebender, a simple coding agent for Android Engineers2025 · docs.firebender.com · ▲53

You can use the plugin for free, no sign up needed, on the jetbrains marketplace. The agent can edit multiple files, run gradle tasks like tests, and use the output to improve its changes. At the end, it reports a git diff of all changes that can be accepted or rejected. Under the hood, the agent relies on Claude 3.7…

    Proactive Security Monitoring for GitHub Actions Workflows2024 · ▲32

    Hey HN, it's Farrukh and Umar. We're building listen.dev–a tool for proactive security monitoring in GitHub Actions to secure software releases from supply chain threats.

In 2017, while building an ML ops toolkit on Kubernetes, we got hacked. During a pilot with a fintech customer, our cluster became victim to a crypto-jacking attack. As it turned out, a dependency in our container base image contained malware (a Monero miner) which triggered inside…
