How To Create Software Quality — Will Larson
tl;dr: “This observation is the underpinning of my beliefs about creating software quality. Expanding from that observation, I’ll try to convince you of two things”: (1) Creating quality is context specific. There are different techniques for solving essential domain complexity, scaling complexity, and accidental complexity. (2) Quality is created both within the development loop and across iterations of the development loop.

Goal Crafting — Subbu Allamaraju
tl;dr: (1) Make your goal unarguable: An unarguable goal is one that most people agree with as it aligns with the organizational principles and direction. (2) Manufacture consent: A leader’s job involves creating willingness for others to work with the organization to support their objectives. (3) Let it make everyone uncomfortable: They should put your team out of their comfort zone, testing their assumptions and technical and human-relationship competencies.

The Trough Of Despair — Kent Beck
tl;dr: “That initial dip is the price you inevitably pay for improvement. If you built a factory you’d expect to pay first, see widgets later. How much you pay & when, how many widgets you see & when, those are the parameters that determine whether you’ve made a good investment. So with software design — how much you pay & when & how many features you see & when, those are the parameters that determine whether you’ve made a good software design investment.”

Common Design Patterns At Stripe — Paul Asjes
tl;dr: “You might disagree with how the Stripe API is designed, and the design you end up with is likely going to be different than what we use. That’s just fine, since different companies have different use cases. Instead I present here some design patterns that I believe are generic enough to be useful for just about anyone in the API design process.”

Debugging With Production Neighbors
tl;dr: SLATE is Uber’s E2E testing tool for microservice architectures that allows testing of services alongside production dependencies. It enables developers to generate test requests mimicking production flows while targeting services under test. This blog explores three debugging options in SLATE: remote debugging of deployed instances, local debugging on developer machines, and debugging through filtered monitoring. These features aim to simplify troubleshooting in production-like environments.

How Meta Trains Large Language Models At Scale
tl;dr: “Our AI model training has involved a training massive number of models that required a comparatively smaller number of GPUs. This was the case for our recommendation models that would ingest vast amounts of information to make accurate recommendations that power most of our products. With the advent of generative AI, we’ve seen a shift towards fewer jobs, but incredibly large ones. Supporting GenAI at scale has meant rethinking how our software, hardware, and network infrastructure come together.”
