The Rust High Performance Talk You Did Not Expect

Ruth Linehan explains how migrating high-performance caching services from Kotlin to Rust shattered internal preconceptions around delivery velocity and engineering overhead. She discusses the ergonomics of the Rust borrow checker, shares how compile-time safety shortens the developer feedback loop, and profiles how tools like Criterion and flamegraphs optimize concurrent code paths.

Comprehension at AI Speed: Building a Context Store for Evolutionary Architecture

AI makes the first 80% of development feel fast, but hides architectural complexity until it's too late. To prevent system instability, engineering leaders must shift from raw throughput to systemic comprehension. By unifying spec-anchored SDD, TDD, and automated fitness functions into a repo-bound "Context Store," teams can ensure AI agents and human reviewers evolve code safely.

From OTEL to SLMs: Distilling Frontier Model Behaviour from Production Telemetry

Ben O'Mahony discusses building custom AI-powered Language Server Protocols (LSPs) that go beyond standard rule-based checkers. He explains how to instrument AI agents natively with OpenTelemetry to track concrete user actions (accepting, dismissing, or regenerating code fixes) as implicit labels, creating a continuous data flywheel to distill frontier capabilities into cheaper, local SLMs.

Road to Compliance: Will Your Internal Users Hate Your Platform Team?

Davide de Paolis discusses the realities of rolling out cloud infrastructure compliance without fracturing developer relations. Drawing from a real-world platform team reboot at Sevdesk, he explains how to implement "minimum viable governance" on AWS, utilize event-driven Slack alerting to automate policy feedback, and shift from rigid enforcement to high-empathy, data-driven collaboration.
