At Devoxx UK in London, we caught up with Eoin Woods - co-author of three software architecture books and former CTO of Endava, to find out why beautifully designed systems still break in production.
P.S. posting again with the different flair. Originally, I've put "conference" flair (because this conversation took place at DevoXX, UK) but mods removed it suggesting me to change the flair. Hope it work this time.
Razotkrila me je neka anti-šuša na r/askserbia! Naime, ja sam ljubomorna na Emsi. Nju prati 52.000 ljudi, a to je čitav stadion. Posebno mi teško pada što nisam infLuenserka koja je uspela za 10 godina bavljenja ovim posLom dođe do 52k i to nakon prosLave Llaskavih 60k sa sve slikabilnim shootingom!
JeLte, jad koji nosim u sebi me čini zLobnom i nadasve ljubomornom.
Sve je kao iz nekog niskobudžetnog horor filma s početka 2000ih
Ona je jednostavno nesposobna i ne zna s parama. Ja odem na klopu i vratim se taksijem, pa ne potrošim 100e, to je izaći. Druga stvar je ciljano otići u šoping. Sedele su na Adi i dovukle se autobusom, ali je usput kupila gomilu smeća, i nešto mi govori da malo laga laga za cifru, jer je u fazi bogatašice, pokroviteljke.
Kad razmislim, ona na Nensi leči komplekse koje vuče iz odnosa sa Vanjom, Ninom, knjigovođama. Za 150 e bačenih na temu je mogla da ode na VCR tretman lica, a za drugih 150 e bačenih na Sinsay je mogla čir na usni da sredi. Nikad od nje čovek
Ima Charmed simbol. The power of three will set us free!! hahah
At a CTO Craft Dinner in Toronto, I sat down with engineering leaders from more than a dozen tech companies and asked where AI has actually landed. The free-for-all is over and we need to be realistic.
Larger pull requests bring more bugs. Stephen Poletto, Field CTO at Span, used his CTO Craft Con talk in Toronto to argue that the AI tooling wave has arrived with a familiar problem attached: organizations are reaching for the most legible metric available rather than the most meaningful one. The result is a rerun of every previous failed attempt to quantify developer productivity, but this time with a pretty substantial compute bill.
U normalnim zemljama ove stvari subvencioniše država, ali da. Hajde da pomognemo deci
Članak: Srbija ne može da izdvoji €2.000 za najbolje fizičare, pa posle ‘zašto mladi odlaze?’
Tim srednjoškolaca koji je izborio plasman na Međunarodni turnir mladih fizičara (International Young Physicists’ Tournament – IYPT) u Cirihu još nema obezbeđena sredstva za put i boravak u Švajcarskoj. Zbog toga su Turnir mladih fizičara Srbije i Udruženje mladih fizičara “Spinor” pokrenuli kampanju za prikupljanje sredstava.
I had a chance to talk to David Fung, ICF PCC, founder and executive coach at Coachful Coaching at CTO Craft Con in Toronto about the most reliable signal that something is wrong in the teams. Coincidentally, it is also the one most leaders misread.
What signals tell you a team feels safe challenging decisions?
"We’re in a growing industry where companies need to be able to continue and carry forward. In order to do that, they need to hire juniors. Foundationally, it’s about survival".
Christine Miao, Founder and Researcher at Technical Accounting
I had a chat with Miao after her talk at the CTO Craft Conference in Toronto. The mentorship question is where the conversation gets more complicated. Some senior engineers argue that AI-assisted development is producing juniors who generate output without understanding it, making them harder, not easier, to teach. Miao doesn’t dismiss the pattern, but she describes a bimodal distribution.
What do you think, fellow experienced devs?
PS: I am posting this again, because I accidentally posted it yesterday breaking wendesday/saturday AI posting rule!
We asked developers to spill their little dirty secrets, the lies they tell their managers and what actually creates tension in teams. One theme that kept coming up was the gap between how software development looks from the outside and what it actually looks like in practice.
How clearly defined are the differences between levels? Is it actually a checklist or more vague and political? I have found this, but how the author even now these private information!
Dakle, pitanje je vezano isključivo za poslovne svrhe, a ne za privatna pretraživanja na ChatGPT-u i Claudeu.
Danas svi koriste te toolove. Pitanje je treba li poslodavac plaćati takav tool ili trebate sami plaćati (ili koristiti free verziju)?
Da li je ostala u vezi sa verenikom nakon što je ostao nepokretan? Ja sam je videla pre otp mesec dana sa njim...
When incidents hit production systems, engineers rarely stay inside one tool for long, jumping from logs to dashboards to runbooks, trying to reconstruct what is actually happening. Talking to other builders, it seemed like almost everybody faces this context-switching problem. Rocío Bayon (Product Manager) and Sebastian Villanelo (Sr. Forward Deployed Engineer) from PagerDuty think MCP is how you fix it. Enjoy our convo
At Devoxx in London, I attended a talk by this guy from Oracle who explained how Oracle Labs built a system of AI agents that automatically generate tests for Java libraries so GraalVM can properly build native applications. I managed to catch him afterward and ask a few extra questions.
