Codetown ::: a software developer's community
MC Bentley has not received any gifts yet
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.

Google Research has proposed a training method that teaches large language models to approximate Bayesian reasoning by learning from the predictions of an optimal Bayesian system. The approach focuses on improving how models update beliefs as they receive new information during multi-step interactions.

Cloudflare recently announced support for ASPA (Autonomous System Provider Authorization). The new cryptographic standard helps make Internet routing safer by verifying the path data takes across networks to reach its destination and preventing traffic from traversing unreliable or untrusted networks.

DoorDash engineers built a simulation and evaluation flywheel to test large language model customer support chatbots at scale. The system generates multi-turn synthetic conversations using historical transcripts and backend mocks, evaluates outcomes with an LLM-as-judge framework, and enables rapid iteration on prompts, context, and system design before production deployment.

Engineers at Netflix have uncovered deep performance bottlenecks in container scaling that trace not to Kubernetes or containerd alone, but into the CPU architecture and Linux kernel itself.

Alicia Collymore discusses the critical role of cultural alignment in building high-performing engineering teams. She explains how to move beyond "vibes" by identifying specific attributes in company values and assessing them during coding challenges and system design sessions. She shares practical advice on using interview debriefs, assessment criteria, and "culture add" to drive growth.

Hi MC and welcome to Codetown! Here's what you get: a page (this page!), a place to blog, post photos, videos, and a bunch of interest groups you surf to. Everything is free except advertising. You can friend people on Codetown and send PM's. There's chat, too. So, if you see someone you know online, you can chat with them. The OrlandoJUG meets every 4th Thursday in various places including the wonderful DeVry on Millennia Blvd, the ultra cool Canvs on Church Street and sometimes at Eden Bar just down the road from us in Winter Park. I'll be at www.Solidcon.com next week when OJUG meets. Enjoy Codetown, have fun at Veredus and you're in the right place to learn a lot right here. All the best, Michael
