Adopting Memory-Safety and Fine-Grained Compartmentalisation with CHERI

David Chisnall discusses how the CHERI hardware architecture redefines pointer safety to solve isolation and sharing challenges. He explains how CHERI enables spatial and temporal memory safety for C/C++, scales down to microcontrollers with CHERIoT, and replaces costly OS-level RPC mechanisms with lightweight, auditable compartmentalization - all without requiring massive codebase rewrites.

Architecture as a Socio-Technical Craft

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.

Prompt to Prod: Engineering an Autonomous SDLC at Scale

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.

Rightsizing Platform Engineering: Building the Platform Your Organization Actually Needs

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.

Enchant Your AI and APIs with eBPF Magic ��

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.
