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.

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.

Can Claude Fix Itself? Using LLMs for Incident Response

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.
