Spec Driven Development: When Architecture Becomes Executable

Spec-Driven Development inverts traditional architecture by making specifications executable and authoritative. It transforms declared intent into validated code through AI generation and provides architectural determinism. It eliminates drift through continuous enforcement, but demands new engineering discipline in schema design and contract-first reasoning.

Changing Power Dynamics: What Senior Engineers Can Learn from Junior Engineers

Beth Anderson discusses the "power distance index" and its critical role in communication. Using the Korean Air Flight 801 tragedy as a case study, she explains the dangers of hierarchy-driven silence. She shares actionable frameworks for building the four stages of psychological safety, implementing reverse mentoring, and using PRs as tools for knowledge sharing rather than gatekeeping.

Fix SLO Breaches before They Repeat: an SRE AI Agent for Application Workloads

Bruno Borges discusses a paradigm shift in performance management: moving from manual tuning to automated SRE agents. He explains how to leverage the USE and jPDM methodologies alongside LLMs to reduce MTTR from hours to seconds. By utilizing MCP tools for real-time diagnostics and memory dump analysis, he shares how engineering leaders can scale systems while meeting strict objectives.
