About SeneJUG Town
SeneJUG Town is here for you. To begin with, you can customize your homepage. Each member has a blog. When you post a blog, it is also displayed on the Codetown homepage! You can create Discussions, add Comments, upload multimedia, join other Groups and use the powerful Invite feature to ask your friends and colleagues to join.
Since we're the West African JUG, a large group geographically, there are many distant members you can stay in touch with through this Group. Look for members in France and Morocco, too!
We look forward to seeing the miles between us grow smaller, virtually. All the best!

By Daniel CurtisGreen IT: How to Reduce the Impact of AI on the Environment
AI poses major challenges for green IT: each query consumes vast energy, GPU chips last only 2-3 years, and costs stay hidden from users. Regulatory frameworks like the EU AI Act fall short on enforcement, Ludi Akue said. In her talk What I Wish I Knew When I Started with Green IT she presented model compression, quantization, and novel architectures, using sustainability as a design constraint.

AWS introduced account-regional namespaces for S3, fixing global bucket name collisions that broke IaC automation for 18 years. New format: {prefix}-{account-id}-{region}-an. CloudFormation gets the BucketNamePrefix property, and IAM gets the s3:x-amz-bucket-namespace condition key. Prevents confused-deputy attacks by making names unpredictable when there is no account ID.

Andrew Davidson and Akshat Vig discuss the journey of disrupting the transactional database market. They explain why the document model became the "Buckminster Fuller" moment for modern apps and share lessons on scaling from "web-scale" memes to mission-critical workloads. Leaders will learn about operational excellence, monetizing convenience over control, and navigating the open-source race.

In the GenAI era, code is a commodity, but alignment is not. Traditional review boards can't scale with AI-generated output. This article explores "Declarative Architecture" - transforming ADRs and Event Models into automated guardrails. Move beyond "dumping left" to a model where the conformant path is the path of least resistance, enabling decentralized governance without losing cohesion.
