Event Description
Hello Orlando Juggies!
Adam Davis will give a presentation on Groovy at the groovy new Canvs Co-working space in Winter Park Thursday 8/24.

Here's the abstract:
Start building powerful apps that take advantage of the dynamic scripting capabilities of the Groovy language. This talk covers Groovy fundamentals, such as using Groovy tools, working with the GDK, and some popular Groovy idioms. We’ll also cover more advanced aspects of Groovy, such as design patterns, writing DSLs in Groovy, and functional programming concepts in Groovy. If there’s still time, we’ll talk a little while about other great Groovy tools like Spock, Ratpack, Grails, and Gradle.
Adam is a software developer and author. Check out his books at at Packt Publishing,

Scaling Human Judgment: How Dropbox Uses LLMs to Improve Labeling for RAG Systems
To improve the relevance of responses produced by Dropbox Dash, Dropbox engineers began using LLMs to augment human labelling, which plays a crucial role in identifying the documents that should be used to generate the responses. Their approach offers useful insights for any system built on retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
By Sergio De SimoneAWS Introduces Nested Virtualization on EC2 Instances
AWS recently announced support for nested virtual machines within virtualized EC2 instances running KVM or Hyper-V. A long-awaited feature by the community, the new option enables use cases such as app emulation and hardware simulation on supported C8i, M8i, and R8i instances.
By Renato LosioStandardizing Post-Quantum IPsec: Cloudflare Adopts Hybrid ML-KEM to Replace Ciphersuite Bloat
Cloudflare has extended hybrid post-quantum encryption to IPsec and WAN traffic, standardizing its SASE stack ahead of the NIST 2030 deadline. By adopting a streamlined ML-KEM key exchange, the move addresses long-standing "ciphersuite bloat" in quantum-resistant IPsec. The update aims to neutralize "harvest now, decrypt later" threats without requiring specialized hardware upgrades.
By Steef-Jan WiggersNew Research Reassesses the Value of AGENTS.md Files for AI Coding
Despite widespread industry recommendations, a new ETH Zurich paper concludes that AGENTS.md files may often hinder AI coding agents. The researchers recommend omitting LLM-generated context files entirely and limiting human-written instructions to non-inferable details, such as highly specific tooling or custom build commands.
By Bruno CouriolArchitecting for Global Scale: Inside DoorDash’s Unified, Composable Dasher Onboarding Platform
DoorDash has rebuilt its Dasher onboarding into a unified, modular platform to support global expansion. The new architecture uses reusable step modules, a centralized status map, and workflow orchestration to ensure consistent, localized onboarding experiences. This design reduces complexity, supports market-specific variations, and enables faster rollout to new countries.
