Spencer Judge discusses the architectural pattern of building a shared core in Rust with language-specific layers on top. Drawing from his work on Temporal's SDKs, he shares lessons on navigating FFI boundaries, bridging async concepts, and managing memory safely. He explains the limitations of native extensions and how emerging tech like WebAssembly can streamline cross-language architecture.
Martin Kleppmann, an associate professor at Cambridge and author of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, discusses the evolution of data systems over the last decade, mainly the shift from monolithic databases to modular building blocks. Kleppmann underlines the importance of moving from cloud-centric data storage systems to decentralised data storage similar to Bluesky’s AT protocol.
Michael Webster discusses the rise of headless AI agents and their impact on software delivery pipelines. He shares how massive, AI-generated pull requests create a severe bottleneck for human reviewers and introduce persistent technical debt. Learn how engineering leaders can leverage test impact analysis and automated validation pipelines to verify agentic output without sacrificing stability.
In this podcast, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods spoke to Craig McLuckie, co-creator of Kubernetes and CEO of Stacklok, about the impact of AI coding tools on open source communities and engineering teams, designing deliberate organisational culture, and navigating evolving career paths for engineers in the age of AI.
Sean Klein discusses why "human error" is a dangerous myth in complex systems. Sharing the inside story of Azure’s 2023 global WAN outage, he explains how modern incident analysis looks past the "Five Whys" to uncover systemic issues. Learn how engineering leaders can move away from blame, improve Standard Operating Procedures, and design resilient systems that actively protect their engineers.
