API Design

As the potential for a negative leap second approaches, a discussion explores the challenges of timekeeping, the risks to modern software, and the best practices for handling time in distributed systems.

Discover practical strategies for preventing catastrophic breakages in microservice environments when integrating AI coding agents. Learn how to leverage centralized API specs, consumer-driven tests, and graceful deprecation to build resilient systems.

Explore why software engineering is far more than just chaining API calls, delving into problem-solving, system design, and the critical role of documentation. Discover the true capabilities and limitations of AI and LLMs in automating core development tasks.

Explore diverse predictions for our technological future, from warnings of an AI investment bubble and technofascism to proposals for radical new computing hardware and a movement for '100% human' content.

A deep dive into why there's no single Win32 API equivalent on Linux. Learn about the roles of POSIX for system calls, GTK/Qt for GUIs, and why the modern answer is often a cross-platform framework.
