Codetown ::: a software developer's community
Oscon 2011 is just days away from happening. For some of you, attending Oscon may not be an option. It's possible that you have other obligations, don't have a budget for it, or even don't know much about it. Well have no fear, this year Oscon 2011 will be streaming live on Codetown via the group Oscon 2011. For those of you who are curious about it, take some time to watch an hour or so. Anyone who really wanted to attend is going to want to watch. Oscon is starting in just a few days time, so set aside some time and get ready to watch!
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Key practices include code-level tuning, robust recovery policies, duplicate prevention, observability, and strong team readiness.

During QCon SF, Jeremy Edberg and Qian Li from DBOS presented a non-conventional architectural approach to workflow orchestration: treating PostgreSQL not just as a data store, but as the orchestration layer itself. Their talk addressed a persistent problem in distributed systems: workflows frequently fail, recovery mechanisms are complex, and visibility into workflow state remains challenging.

AI-generated code is “highly functional but systematically lacking in architectural judgment”, a new report from Ox Security has found. In a report released in late October called Army of Juniors: The AI Code Security Crisis, AI application security (AppSec) company Ox Security outlined 10 architecture and security anti-patterns that are commonly found in AI-generated code.
