How many errors does the average application have? And, how much do these errors cost companies each year? We all know application issues cost money, but quantifying it – well, that’s a harder task. Many organizations have been struggling to understand not only the cost of downtime, but how to quantify the quality of their software and what the cost is of poor quality code.

Machines will need to make ethical decisions, and we will be responsible for those decisions. We are surrounded by systems that make ethical decisions: systems approving loans, trading stocks, forwarding news articles, recommending jail sentences, and much more. They act for us or against us, but almost always without our consent or even our knowledge.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated devices that have unique identifiers and can autonomously transfer data over a network. IoT ecosystems consist of internet-enabled smart devices that have integrated sensors, processors, and communication hardware to capture, analyze, and send data from their immediate environments. IHS Technology predicts that there will be over 30 billion IoT devices in use by 2020 and over 75 billion by 2025.

There’s a role a leader must play that in this day and age is even more important than being a teacher or mentor. It’s the role of a plumber. Yep, a plumber.

How that water is pressure controlled and directed is critical to the overall performance of a water circulation system, especially when heated water is involved.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

Apache-Kafka ® -based applications stand out for their ability to decouple producers and consumers using an event log as an intermediate layer. One result of this is that producers and consumers don’t know about each other, as there is no direct communication between them. This enables choreographed service collaborations, where many components can subscribe to events stored in the event log and react to them asynchronously.

Hooks are a fundamentally simpler way to encapsulate stateful behavior and side effects in user interfaces. They were first introduced in React and have been broadly embraced by other frameworks like Vue , Svelte , and even adapted for general functional JS. However, their functional design requires a good understanding of closures in JavaScript. In this article, we reintroduce closures by building a tiny clone of React Hooks.

What is a service worker? A service worker is a little file that will allow you to cache files and other assets on a user’s machine. How is this different from server-side caching? Because the assets are stored on a user’s machine, rather than a server, there is no need to go across a network. This offers a lot of gains for your app’s reliability and speed.

When should you use an API? When should you use an event? Most contemporary software architectures are some mix of these two approaches. I will attempt to articulate in layman’s terms what an event-driven architecture (EDA) is and contrast it with service-oriented architecture (SOA).
