Beyond Autonomous Teams in Software Product Development

Autonomous teams are an article of faith in modern software development. The shape of our value determines what we can do; it determines our trade-offs between agency and coherence. We all have a purpose, and we all have agency to do something, hence the suggestion is moving from product focus to value center thinking.

IETF Publishes RFC 10008, Adding the QUERY Method for Safe Requests With a Body

In June 2026, the IETF published RFC 10008, introducing the QUERY method to HTTP, the first new standard HTTP verb since 2010.

This addition addresses long-standing limitations with GET and POST methods, facilitating improved API interactions.
