Editor's Note
Welcome to another installment of The Blitzy Blitz, a weekly newsletter showcasing what Blitzy is building. Follow along to see updates in the Open Source Enhancement Initiative and Building With Blitzy series on our blog.
The most recent article was the History of the Spec, see below for details!

Welcome back

This week, our team was fueled by innovative spirit and a bit of software engineering nostalgia.

From assembly language to the 1968 NATO conference, all of our ideas were connected by one common thread: understanding autonomous software development a bit better.

Let’s take a look at what we found.

The History of the Spec

Let’s kick off with the latest release: Questioning Agile Development.

Engineers know about Agile, but few understand why these processes exist.

Take a walk through the history of the spec, where the term “software engineering” originated, and more to find out where Blitzy fits into the narrative.

Assembling HeavyThing into Rust

Another refactoring experiment this week: Assembling HeavyThing into Rust.

This deliberately extreme migration test case surfaced some very compelling insights.

The results: 94% project completion. All 5 subsystems complete. 3 Binary crates functional. 3,392 tests passed, 0 failures. Full behavioral fidelity.

Securing Software in the Age of Mythos

AI has changed the conversation on security.

Its capabilities are real, as are the risks. The right response, however, doesn’t come from accessing an advanced model. The solution is in a governed system.

Blitzy is that system: proactively remediating risk across enterprise codebases.

On Thursday, May 28 at 12 PM EST, join Neeraj Deshmukh, Senior Member of Technical Staff, and Michael McCarter, Field AI Architecture, GTM to learn about how Blitzy delivers governance.

#BOSTechWeek Talent Exchange

It's #BOSTechWeek, and Blitzy is hiring across GTM. So we're throwing a party.

We're growing fast, scaling rapidly out of Cambridge, MA, and we're hosting one of the week's most focused nights: a curated room with our team and the GTM operators we want to build with.

This isn't a panel. It isn't speed networking. It's Boston Tech Week with a purpose.

Roles in focus: Enterprise Sales, Solution Consulting, RevOps, Product Marketing and GTM leadership.

Part of #BOSTechWeek. Learn more here

If you care about where software development is going, follow along.

We are just getting started, so stay tuned.

Back in a blitz,

Team Blitzy
