Article: Post-Quantum Cryptography in Spring Boot: Four Patterns You Can Ship This Sprint

Pankaj Sharma — Fri, 28 Aug 2026 09:00:00 GMT

There are four patterns that bring PQC into a Spring Boot fleet: encrypting payloads between services, locking down database fields, signing documents that need to hold up for decades, and moving service tokens off RS256. Along the way, we discuss why Harvest Now, Decrypt Later is already happening, and why none of this is production-safe until KMS or Vault is in place.

Presentation: Python, Numba, and Algorithm Design: Building Efficient Models in Financial Services

Chad Schuster — Thu, 27 Aug 2026 09:23:00 GMT

Chad Schuster discusses bridging Python's developer velocity with C-like performance using Numba JIT and GPUs. Drawing from large-scale actuarial modeling, he explains LLVM pipeline architecture, performance gains up to 750x, and essential trade-offs like OOP limits, type inference errors, and compile-time overhead for engineering leaders scaling compute-heavy enterprise systems.

Presentation: Can Claude Fix Itself? Using LLMs for Incident Response

Alex Palcuie — Wed, 26 Aug 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Anthropic reliability engineer Alex Palcuie shares practical lessons on using LLMs for real-world incident response. He explains where AI acts as a superhuman for observing logs and traces, why it still struggles with causation versus correlation during root-cause analysis, and how engineering leaders can integrate AI into on-call workflows without eroding human expertise.

Article: Rightsizing Platform Engineering: Building the Platform Your Organization Actually Needs

John Keates — Mon, 24 Aug 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Shift-left and DevOps have impacted how we flow changes from inception to production, but at the cost of increased cognitive load and duplication of effort across testing, security, and maintenance. This article explores the real-world challenges of rightsizing developer platforms and finding a cultural match for engineering teams who use them to reduce cognitive load and deliver change faster.

Podcast: The Human Edge: Why Brownfield Codebases Need Mob Programming, Not Just AI Vibes

Asgaut Mjølne Söderbom, Ola Hast — Mon, 24 Aug 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Asgaut Mjølne Söderbom and Ola Hast discuss the evolution of their software engineering practices past continuous deployment and pair engineering. The conversation continues where it left off in the previous episode and focuses on the experiments in adopting Claude Code and the reasons why they consider it good for everything else, but not coding.

Presentation: Prompt to Prod: Engineering an Autonomous SDLC at Scale

Andrew Swerdlow — Mon, 24 Aug 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Andrew Swerdlow shares how Roblox scales autonomous software development from prompt to production. He discusses building robust security sandboxes, extracting institutional knowledge via code review exemplars, updating engineering infrastructure, and redefining productivity metrics around feature velocity and long-running AI turns to achieve trusted, automated deployment at scale.

Presentation: SafeChat: Building AI-Powered Safety Systems at Scale in a Real-Time Marketplace

Bruna Pereira — Sat, 22 Aug 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Bruna Pereira explains how DoorDash built a content-agnostic AI moderation platform. She covers replacing costly LLM-only pipelines with a hybrid pattern: using fast internal models to filter obvious cases, LLM multi-axis scoring for nuanced decisions, and no-code workflows with backtesting. Discover how this architectural pattern cut safety incidents while scaling to millions of daily messages.

Mini book: Architecture as a Socio-Technical Craft

InfoQ — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 11:30:00 GMT

Architecture is not a fixed choice made once; fitness is a moving target driven by changing regulations, tech, and markets. Even a sound design can silently stop fitting over time without bad calls. Spanning seven articles on context stores, gateways, and topologies, this collection treats architecture as an evolving sociotechnical craft where teams deliberately shape friction, fitness, and flow.

Presentation: Enchant Your AI and APIs with eBPF Magic 🪄

Dan Finneran — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Dan Finneran discusses the risks of unowned AI-generated code in production and demonstrates how eBPF can intercept and control AI API traffic in Kubernetes. He explains how kernel-level socket hooks enable transparent prompt filtering, model swapping, token limits, and syscall restrictions to secure AI agents without modifying application source code or restarting containers.
