Context is the Key to the Agentic Architecture Revolution: a Conversation with Baruch Sadogursky
Michael Stiefel spoke to Baruch Sadogursky about software architecture in the age of agentic AI. LLM can function, albeit stochastically, as reasoning machines capable of interpreting human ambiguity. With the appropriate rigorous context artifacts to control the LLM’s reasoning, software specifications can become the source of truth, while the code becomes a disposable intermediate language.

Elisabeth Hendrickson on Systems Thinking for Quality Engineering
In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods spoke to Elisabeth Hendrickson about using systems thinking to understanding relationships between problem elements rather than focusing on individual parts, and how quality engineering practices become even more critical in the age of AI where tools can accelerate code production but humans need to remain in charge of verification.
