Developing Meta's Orion AR Glasses

Jinsong Yu shares deep architectural insights into the Orion AR glasses, detailing the use of 11 custom microcontrollers for thermal dissipation, the SLAM/VIO needed for world-locked rendering, and input fusion (EMG, eye/hand tracking). He concludes with critical lessons for technical leaders on setting direction, managing complexity through testing, and strategic hardware-software co-design.

Micro-Frontends: A Sociotechnical Journey Toward a Modern Frontend Architecture

Micro-frontends differ from components by emphasising autonomy and flow over standardisation and reuse—a sociotechnical shift aligned with Conway's law. Migration should be gradual, starting where autonomy is most beneficial and ensuring that the architecture aligns with the team structure. Duplication can benefit the flow and enable iterative delivery, rather than requiring extensive rewrites.

AI-Driven Software Delivery: Leveraging Lean, ChOP & LLMs to Create More Effective Learning Experiences at QCon

Wes Reisz discusses an experiment to deliver a QCon certification using a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture and supervised coding agents (Claude Sonnet/Cursor). He breaks down the 4-week serverless video transcription pipeline, RAG variations (hybrid, graph), and the process of structuring prompts for 95% AI-generated code.

Humans in the Loop: Engineering Leadership in a Chaotic Industry

Michelle Brush discusses engineering leadership in the age of AI/ML and automation. She explains how the Jevons Paradox will create massive software demand, but the Ironies of Automation will make the remaining engineering job harder. She shares 4 skills for success: Systems Thinking, Non-Abstract System Design, Reliability Engineering, and Complexity Theory, stressing the need for junior talent.

Trust No One: Securing the Modern Software Supply Chain with Zero Trust

Emma Yuan Fang explains the Zero Trust mindset required to combat modern software supply chain attacks. She details security controls for dependency management, including SBOM (Software Bill of Materials), artifact signing, Git commit signing, and CI/CD hardening. Learn how to implement security gating, enforce policies as code, and manage secrets across your build and runtime environments.
