InfoQ Reading List
Presentation: Achieving a Culture That Works: Inclusive Leadership that Drives Lasting Success
Matthew Card discusses the intersection of leadership and inclusivity at the BBC. He explains how "changing the bar" rather than just raising it can transform team dynamics. Covering trust, psychological safety, and his "C.A.P.S." and "D.O.S.E." frameworks for resilience, he shares practical strategies for engineering leaders to eliminate toxic behaviors and empower diverse talent to thrive.
By Matthew CardHow Agoda Unified Multiple Data Pipelines Into a Single Source of Truth
Agoda recently described how it consolidated multiple independent data pipelines into a centralized Apache Spark-based platform to eliminate inconsistencies in financial data. The company implemented a multi-layered quality framework that combines automated validations, machine-learning-based anomaly detection, and data contracts, while processing millions of daily booking transactions.
By Eran StillerAI-Powered Code Editor Cursor Introduces Dynamic Context Discovery to Improve Token-Efficiency
Cursor introduced a new approach to minimize the context size of requests sent to large language models. Called dynamic context discovery, this method moves away from including large amounts of static context upfront, allowing the agent to dynamically retrieve only the information it needs. This reduces token usage and limits the inclusion of potentially confusing or irrelevant details.

Vercel has open-sourced bash-tool that provides a Bash execution engine for AI agents, enabling them to run filesystem-based commands to retrieve context for model prompts.
By Daniel DominguezArticle: Platform-as-a-Product: Declarative Infrastructure for Developer Velocity
Declarative infrastructure config hides complexity, enabling developers to focus on application code. Unified YAML per service allows early cost validation, while independent CI with centralized CD balances team autonomy and deployment consistency. This standardized approach scales across organizations, making infrastructure invisible and operations automatic.
