IBM TechnologyThe Real AI Battle: Compute, Trust, and the Cost of Faking It
AI’s real fight: compute, trust, and who pays. From Reddit’s spam wars to Anthropic’s chip ambitions, engineering leaders face operational consequences.
Hussein NasserHow Pagination Optimization Birthed Addictive Infinite Scroll
Offset pagination gets slower as users go deeper. Cursor-based pagination fixed it but inadvertently enabled addictive infinite scroll.
AI ExplainedThe Cost Crash: Why GPT-5.6 Changes Budgets, Not Just Benchmarks
GPT-5.6 delivers Fable-like performance at 1/3 cost, but Muse Spark and others close in. Cost-performance curves crash, forcing a multi-model strategy.
InfoQFormal Methods Stop Being Academic When AI Handles the Plumbing
Formal methods, backed by AI, are now cheap enough to try on critical distributed systems. The real challenge is defining what “correct” means.
Theo - t3․ggWhen AI Runs $200K of Inference and Fixes Your BIOS
GPT-5.6 ran multi-hour coding, rewrote a compiler, and registered for databases autonomously—but $200K/month and unverified code signal a governance gap.
AI EngineerAgents Become Reportees: The Next Engineering Management Shift
Codex agents are becoming managers, pushing engineers to oversee loops instead of terminals. Attention is now the key constraint.
David OndrejToken Billionaires Fail Without Taste
Token-hungry AI agents are everywhere, but the best engineers rely on loop design, guardrails, data structures, and manual testing—taste still matters.
Y CombinatorDot Plots Expose What Aggregate Analytics Hide
Dot plots—a user×day grid of value events—expose hidden behavioral patterns that aggregate metrics miss, helping detect churn and guide features.
GOTO ConferencesARM Adoption: The Cost Win Nobody Can Ignore
ARM instances cut cloud costs up to 40% and .NET is ready. Learn the migration cheat sheet, case studies, and key tradeoffs for ARM adoption.
No Priors: AI, Machine Learning, Tech, & StartupsMoats Are Dead: AI Cuts Costs But Won’t Protect You
Booking’s AI is cutting costs, but its CEO warns there’s no moat. The real challenge? Proving ROI before scaling—and retraining teams before they’re displaced.
