Simplifying Java Exception with Scala
One feature of Scala is it reuse Java's Exception class hierarchies, but much easier to use. For one thing, it treats Exception as "unchecked" just like RuntimeException, which I think one of the…Continue

GitLab warns that isolating an AI coding agent in a sandbox does not necessarily make the agent safe.

Standard chaos engineering assumes experiments stop cleanly, blast radius is knowable in advance, and production is fair game. Payment systems violate all three. Salim Adedeji describes ECS-specific failure modes from enterprise deployments: a 60-second DNS TTL that produced 93-second failover, retry logic amplifying database load 2.4x, and AZ rebalancing loops that generic tooling misses.
