“It’s been known since the 1990s that a large-scale quantum computer will be able to break many of the crypto systems we rely on for security,” says Dustin Moody, leader of Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) at the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) in Maryland. In 1994, American mathematician Peter Shor developed quantum algorithms to factor integers and solve the discrete logarithm problem.

When pair programming, it's important to rotate the pairs frequently, but many organizations that do pair programming are reluctant to do that. Gabriel Robaina and Kieran Murphy ask the question: “What if we rotate pairs every day?” and worked with three teams through an exercise of daily pair rotation. They developed a lightweight methodology to help teams reflect on the benefits and challenges of pairing and how to solve them.

Mainframe systems continue to run much of the world's computing workload, but it's often difficult to add new features to support growing business needs. Furthermore the architectural challenges that make them slow to enhance also make them hard to replace. To reduce the risk involved, we use an incremental approach to legacy displacement, gradually replacing legacy capabilities with implementations in modern technology.

When Rails 7.0 landed in December 2021, it came with a fresh new homepage and a new boot screen. The design of the guides, however, has remained largely untouched since 2009 - a point which hasn’t gone unnoticed (we heard your feedback). With all of the work right now going into removing complexity from the Rails framework and making the documentation consistent, clear, and up-to-date, it was time to tackle the design of the guides and make them equally modern, simple, and fresh.

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.

Measuring developer productivity is a difficult challenge. Conventional metrics focused on development cycle time and throughput are limited, and there aren't obvious answers for where else to turn. Qualitative metrics offer a powerful way to measure and understand developer productivity using data derived from developers themselves. Abi Noda and Tim Cochran begin their discussion by explaining what a qualitative metric is and why we shouldn't reject them for being subjective or unreliable.

One big challenge that leaders have when figuring out how or where their companies can grow is that a dearth of data about future problems and opportunities. In these situations, there are three techniques that leaders can employ to develop insights: look at customers and startups for signs of change, experience new technologies rather than just read about them, and practice “associative thinking,” which means connect two seemingly disparate concepts to develop a novel idea.

When we gradually replace a legacy system, we have plenty of cases where the legacy system and its replacement need to interact. Since these legacy systems are often difficult, and costly, to change, we need a mechanism that can integrate elements of the replacement while minimizing the impact to the legacy system. Ian Cartwright, Rob Horn, and James Lewis explain how we can use Event Interception on state-changing events, allowing us to forward them to the replacement.
