Essays and interviews about the craft of software.
Ryan is joined by Gabriela Moreira, CEO at Quint, about why formal specification languages like TLA+ are essential for catching system design flaws before writing code, how Quint brings developer friendly syntax and executability to formal methods, and the ways trace validation and model based testing can verify AI…

Most engineering teams capable of building an internal AI knowledge system think they should. But six months later, it& x27;s a platform team& x27;s full time job. Building an in house AI context layer costs more money and energy than you think.
While the whispers say that everyone is becoming a generalist, that& x27;s not where headcount is going.
Sandbox testing works best when you stop chasing production parity. Learn what environment drift actually costs and which parts are worth fixing.
Ryan sits down with Josh Triplett, member of the Rust Leadership Team at the Rust Project, to chat about how the borrow checker delivers compile time memory safety without garbage collection overhead, why Rust consistently ranks as developers& x27; most loved language by providing psychological safety for complex…
It’s gotten exponentially harder to identify talent that we feel is a good fit for our teams at the top of the application funnel.

Ryan is joined by Yanbing Li, Chief Product Officer at Datadog, to talk about applying observability to non deterministic AI agents, blurring the boundaries between software development and production workflows, and navigating emerging challenges in AI security and tokenomics.
A maturity model for taking agents from an impressive demo to a system people can depend on — with a self assessment and the map to a deep dive on each layer.
Your service can be 100% up and still quietly approving the wrong things, burning its budget, or failing over into untested quality. Level 5 is the infrastructure that lets you see your decisions, bound your spend, route and fail over between models, kill bad behavior in seconds — and the platform that makes all of…
Agents don& x27;t build trust for another reason, structurally worse than the first. It isn& x27;t only that the tool keeps changing shape. It& x27;s that the feedback loop you would need in order to learn the tool is broken at the point of measurement.
