This month we'll meet at First Magnitude Brewery and have a relaxed "Open Spaces" style meeting. What is Open Spaces? That's inspired by the formal Open Spaces approach where the subjects that are most interesting get discussed. In our case, we have one member who just finished two smartphone apps, so those case studies are very interesting candidates for discussion. We have another member who is working with a startup that is adding lots of features to their website practically real time. I could go on, but I think you get the idea.
First Magnitude has a big, open courtyard in back, so look for me and bring whatever you'd like to support your talk. Digital is great, too!
FYI, GatorJUG has one ticket to Open Source Bridge to raffle off. It's a fantastic conference. We also may have discounts available to OSCON.
Hope to see you there. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

As organizations scale, communication overload, loss of shared context, and trust gaps emerge, Charlotte de Jong Schouwenburg mentioned. Trust must be built team by team; it can’t be replicated. Trust is interpersonal, while psychological safety is among people and fuels learning. Leaders must deliberately design structures, rituals, and metrics that reward transparency and cohesion at scale.

Adrian Cockcroft explains the transition from cloud-native to AI-native development. He shares his "director-level" approach to managing swarms of autonomous agents using tools like Cursor and Claude Flow. Discussing real-world experiments in BDD, MCP servers, and language porting, he discusses why the future of engineering lies in building platforms that orchestrate AI-driven development.

This article introduces Context-Augmented Generation (CAG) as an architectural refinement of RAG for enterprise systems. It shows how a Spring Boot-based context manager can incorporate user identity, session state, and policy constraints into AI workflows, improving traceability, consistency, and governance without altering existing retrievers or LLM infrastructure.

ESLint version 10 has removed the legacy eslintrc configuration system, finalizing a long transition to flat config. The update enhances developer experience, especially for plugin authors and monorepo teams, by changing configuration file location and improving JSX reference tracking. Node.js support has been tightened, and new assertion options have been added to the RuleTester API.
