Classic of the Week: It's Time for Operating Systems to Rediscover Hardware (Timothy Roscoe)

Timothy Roscoe (ETH Zurich, co-lead of the Barrelfish multikernel and the Enzian research computer) gave the joint OSDI/ATC keynote in 2021 and announced up front that he’d chosen the “keynote as therapy” format. What he unloads is a simple argument that keeps getting more true: the machine Linux thinks it runs on doesn’t exist, the thing actually managing a modern computer was never designed by anyone, and the systems research community has mostly stopped looking....

Security in the LLM Age (Greg Kroah-Hartman, Kernel Recipes 2026)

A year ago Greg Kroah-Hartman told a security conference the Linux kernel was issuing 50 CVEs a week and everyone thought that was insane. The kernel is now issuing 33 a day. His Kernel Recipes 2026 talk is aimed at kernel developers and maintainers, not the general public, and its refrain is “do not panic.” What makes it worth an hour is that he backs the refrain with raw data: he got the full report behind this year’s most publicised AI bug hunt and went through it line by line....

Slide: +741% lines of code written, +30% software shipped

The Death of the Code Review: What the Data Actually Says (Laurie Voss)

Developers who switched on autonomous coding agents wrote 741% more code and shipped 30% more software. Laurie Voss (npm co-founder, now head of developer relations at Arize AI) opens with that pair of numbers from a study of more than 100,000 GitHub developers, and spends the next 24 minutes on one question: if review is the bottleneck, what are teams actually doing about it? The talk is a literature review delivered at speed....
