Event Description

Yes, we are having a meeting! I am in town and the kind folks accommodated us at DeVry, so BE THERE! 

Loads of stuff to talk about, like this fine article by our compadre Matt Raible: http://www.infoq.com/articles/javaone2013-roundup

Bring a dish, something to drink and yourself...or, just yourself...or yourself and a friend(s)! This will be fun because we have been very remiss about meeting lately. Every time we do this it works out well and we have more than enough to eat.

People at Oracle have moved around - and former Sun people have moved around. I'll fill you in on all of it. 

JavaOne 2013 is history...and there's that to discuss.

I am getting lots of email from recruiters about openings at companies (Disney, for one) on all of our 10 year plans...or, mine at least. 

I could go on, but then we'll have less to say, so mark your calendars and RSVP so we all have something to look forward to. 

And, please post some stuff on Codetown, invite your friends and stir it up.

See ya.

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.

Presentation: Accelerating Performance by Incrementally Integrating Rust Into Existing Codebase

Lily Mara explains how to avoid high-risk software rewrites through incremental FFI refactoring. She shares how engineering teams can replace Python bottlenecks with Rust via PyO3, demonstrating how to achieve dramatic function-level speedups, seamless integration testing, and meaningful infrastructure cost savings without microservice overhead.

Article: When Spec-Driven Development Pays Off

AI coding assistants have become a core part of software development. AI-generated code has shown productivity gains, but it's also contributing to security weaknesses and familiar bug patterns. In this article, author Nitin Garg highlights the bottleneck has moved from code generation to code verification, and how to detect & mitigate it when the AI-generated behavior diverges from the intent.

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. QUERY enables developers to send richer query filters in the request body while maintaining cacheable, safe, and idempotent semantics. This addition addresses long-standing limitations with GET and POST methods, facilitating improved API interactions.
