  1. Early-stage engineering culture is shaped far more by founder tendencies than formal policy.

    David Gudeman (Co-Founder & CTO at Velocity AI) talks about the hidden operational costs of these founder traits - from under-supporting junior engineers to the organizational impact of blunt technical decision-making.

  2. When a project timeline slips, the default reflex is often to hire more engineers or throw more tools at the problem.

    True leverage comes from standardizing the operational logic between your engineering teams rather than optimizing inside them.

    Discover how platform standardization helps you eliminate the hidden factory and deliver on your actual business objectives.

  3. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Oh look, Carl's ascended to the heights of engineering leadership by sending "required reading" to his team. Because nothing says "wisdom" like force-feeding your minions blog posts and research papers. ๐Ÿ“š Meanwhile, the rest of us are over here wondering when Carl will start his book club. ๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿ™„

  4. Are your AI budgets skyrocketing while your actual software delivery throughput stays flat? You're not alone.

    In this #InfoQ presentation, Lizzie Matusov (CEO & Co-founder of Quotient) explains why AI is improving individual productivity but not organizational outcomes.

  5. Three new five-week InfoQ certification cohorts start this August:
    ๐Ÿ”น Architecture with Luca Mezzalira
    ๐Ÿ”น Engineering Leadership with Michelle Brush
    ๐Ÿ”น AI Security & Privacy with Katharine Jarmul

    Each week, participants apply proven QCon frameworks to a real challenge from their own work and discuss it with a confidential peer group of senior engineers and architects.

  7. Today, we are introducing Upsun Dispatch. ๐Ÿš€

    AI made engineers faster. It didn't make teams faster. The constraint was never typing; it was everything around it. The SDLC is being rewritten, and we'd like to rewrite it with you.

    Upsun Dispatch is our platform for the agentic software development lifecycle, launching in September 2026. Workflow is the primitive, not the agent. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

  8. Cheap tokens make for nice slides. They do not ship software.

    I wrote about the AI coding break-even point that matters in enterprise teams: the crossover is usually review, repair, security, and rollout work, not the raw token bill.

  10. Our knowledge is limited by life
    yet we shrink it further by denying people space to breath and to think.

    Instead of addressing the root cause, we keep polishing broken processes, reinventing the same problems, and proudly attaching square wheels to a cart that was meant to move forward. Progress does not come from pushing harder, it begins when we stop pretending the wheel was designed correctly.

  12. The Engineering Leadership Crisis Nobody Talks About ๐Ÿšจ #EngineeringLeadership #SoftwareEngineering #PlatformEngineering #TechLeadership #Microservices #SRE

    Modern engineering teams are collapsing under platform complexity, AI chaos, organizational scaling failures, and unreliable architectures. This deep technical leadership guide explains how elite engineering leaders manage platform rewrites, reliability crises, organizational chaos, and large-scale modernization without destroying delivery velocity. #SoftwareArchitecture #EngineeringManagement #DevOps #CloudComputing #Leadership

  14. The new 10x Engineer with AI

    The idea of the โ€œ10x engineerโ€ has always been a bit controversial. Some people see it as a myth. Some people see it as a harmful label that creates hero culture. Some people have worked with engineers who clearly create much more impact than others, and believe the idea is real. I sit somewhere in the middle. I donโ€™t think a 10x engineer means someone who writes 10x more code than everyone else. That version of the idea was never useful to me. Writing more code is not the same as [โ€ฆ]

  16. Boring code isn't an aesthetic preference. It's an organizational symptom - and it shows up in the version control before any retrospective.

    The commit graph is the org chart asserting itself.

  18. Engineering isn't just about the plans you make - it's about the habits you don't notice.

    Learn how to catch "invisible decisions" before they bake into your culture and code.

  19. Nobody designed the system. It accreted, one reasonable decision at a time.

    A cache for performance. A config service for flexibility. A second API gateway because migration kept getting pushed.

    112 boxes later: 40% of the engineering budget on maintenance. Features are taking weeks instead of days.

    The Complexity Trap is structural. Five recognizable patterns. A way out.
