Quality went up alongside output. Even with more PRs shipping, total incidents dropped 5%. They built security guardrails and quality standards into the agentic workflow itself.

Productivity vs quality is sometimes framed as a tradeoff. They're not seeing it.

Groundsource is a new AI-powered methodology that transforms millions of public reports into a high-quality record of historical disaster data to aid crisis prediction — starting with flash floods in urban areas.

We've been working on this for a while -- it's impressive (and scary) to see the kinds of security issues it has identified.

Rolling out slowly, starting as a research preview for Team and Enterprise customers.

Amazing!

You can extend Kubernetes' functionality by building custom operators.

And this course teaches you how to do it using Go and Kubebuilder.

Your operator will manage AWS EC2 instances directly from K8s, and you'll learn about the internal architecture of informers, caches, finalizers, idempotency, & more.

MVPs need to consider not only the market viability of a product but also its technical viability to be maintained and adapted to changing needs over time. MVPs are not limited to the startup context, since every application has an initial release that can be thought of as an MVP

[Mikhail Laptev @MikeLaptev]

Making the architectural decisions transparent helps the organization to better understand why certain choices have been made, which helps them make better decisions about how they can adapt the product to changing market conditions and evolving customer needs.

ReentrantReadWriteLock has a limit of 65536 concurrent read locks. We can run into this limit with virtual threads. In this newsletter we explore some of the issues if we want to switch to the StampedLock.asReadWriteLock() instead.

Another example of the "broken windows theory", which from time-to-time resonates in software engineering.

Anyway, below is depressing 😞...
