InfoQ Reading List
Presentation: Building Tomorrow’s Legacy Code, Today
Shawna Martell shares practical strategies to effectively manage legacy code and tech debt. Learn how to lift existing code, gain buy-in for improvements, and build new systems with future maintainability in mind using encapsulation, testing, and linting. She explains the Strangler Fig pattern and provides actionable advice for creating code that ages gracefully and minimizes future headaches.
By Shawna MartellHow Senior Software Engineers Can Learn from Junior Engineers
A rigid hierarchical dynamic between senior and junior software engineers can stifle innovation, discourage fresh perspectives, and create barriers to collaboration. According to Beth Anderson, senior engineers can actively learn from their junior counterparts. She suggests creating an environment of mutual growth, psychological safety, and continuous learning.
By Ben LindersHow Meta Uses Precision Time Protocol to Handle Leap Seconds
For systems that require strict synchronization—like distributed databases, telemetry pipelines, or event-driven architectures—handling leap seconds incorrectly can lead to data loss, duplication, or inconsistencies. As such, managing leap seconds accurately ensures system reliability and consistency across environments that depend on high-precision time.
By Craig RisiQCon London 2025: Achieving AI Precision Through Intelligent Data Retrieval
Adi Polak, a Confluent expert, addressed AI precision challenges at QCOn London 2025, introducing agentic RAG to enhance data retrieval accuracy. With insights on the limitations of current systems and actionable strategies for implementation, Polak emphasized precision as a crucial factor in operationalizing AI, building trust, and improving business outcomes.
