Structured Concurrency Looms - YouTube

Maybe we’ll have the structured concurrency in java 28??? 🤞

If you thought the speed of writing code was your problem, you have bigger problems - Andrew Murphy - YouTube

Theory of Constraints: Every system has exactly one constraint. The throughput of the system is determine by the throughput of that constraint. Optimising anything that is not the constraint doesn’t just fail to help. It makes the system worse, more WIP, deeper queues, older context, later feedback.

I’m sorry, but you still have to think | It’s all about the bit

You still have to think critically. It’s good to know what you’re doing. Don’t make hasty assumptions based on a single metric. If you want a reliable system you should know when to fail. Also, benchmarks are hard.

How to effectively debug when you no longer understand the code

Really long essay, but worth your time.

Are Harnesses Worth the Cost?

What changes with model capability is not whether independent sensors are needed, but when they run. For models whose unaided attempts produce inconsistent outcomes, running sensors continuously during development provides executable attention that broadens the set of models a team can use successfully. For frontier models capable of solving the brief in one pass, running those same sensors once as an independent final acceptance gate provides the verification every system requires without the development overhead.
