Open-source software components are incorporated into almost every major development effort, but the security of those components continue to be a problem. The annual Open Source Security and Risk Analysis (OSSRA) report published by Synopsys found that more than 96% of codebases scanned in 2018 had open-source components. In 2019 that jumped to more than 99%.

The way we develop and deliver software has changed dramatically in the past five years—but the metrics we use to measure quality remain largely the same. Despite seismic shifts in business expectations, development methodologies, system architectures and team structures, most organizations still rely on quality metrics that were designed for a much different era.

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.

What a great book Designing Data-Intensive Applications is! It covers databases and distributed systems in clear language, great detail and without any fluff. I particularly like that the author Martin Kleppmann knows the theory very well, but also seems to have a lot of practical experience of the types of systems he describes. There is so much to learn for me in this book, so I have summarized the main points from each chapter, with a special emphasis on what I found most interesting.

I love that media has moved from custom plugins (Flash…gross) to basic HTML <video> and <audio> elements. Treating these media sources as just another element allows us to use CSS filters to adjust display, for example. The less we need to do with ffmpeg or plugins, the better.
