By Daniel DominguezBeyond 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.

By Lily MaraArticle: 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.

By Nitin GargIETF 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.
