In object-oriented programming (OOP), an object is a reusable unit of code that can perform certain actions and interact with other objects in a program. In OOP languages, all objects have some behaviors and some state. The states are stored in fields (or variables) and the behaviors are exposed through methods. Regardless of the language,…

AI is not a new player in software development. For years, AI-powered tools and AI services have handled routine tasks—code completion, bug detection, even automated deployments, freeing engineers to focus on higher-order challenges like building scalable systems, hardening security, and crafting seamless user experiences. From Automation to Autonomy AI isn’t just assisting developers; it’s reinventing…
For years, application support relied heavily on manual intervention, rule-based automation, and basic monitoring tools—each offering some relief but none truly scalable. IT teams spent countless hours sifting through alerts, running pre-scripted fixes, and manually resolving recurring incidents. While runbooks and rule-based workflows offered a degree of automation, they were rigid and often failed to…
