How did you hear about Codetown?
I went to a JUG meeting, and I found out there's a "facebook for coders". I don't have a facebook, but a facebook for coders doesn't sound so bad.
What are your main interests in software development?
right now, I'm just interested in learning as many languages as I can as well as I can (I'm decent at C++ and Perl, and I can say hello world in Java, Python, Lisp, Haskell, JavaScript, Ruby, and C#), and getting some practical coding experience under my belt. as far as projects go, I'm not good enough at either relevant language (C++/C#) to program games for my phone, but that's probably what I'll end up doing a lot of over the next year.

well, that and learning some of this new XHTML stuff (last time I wrote HTML was almost a decade ago. I hear it's changed) and figuring out CGI.pm, so I can put up a web site.
Do you have a website?

Anything else you'd like to add? Where do you live? (optional!)
I don't care what anyone says, I still think JavaScript.onMouseOver is a funny way to play internet pranks on people.

How LinkedIn Identified a Kernel Lock Contention Issue Causing Recurring System Freezes

When LinkedIn engineers encountered short-lived, recurring outages where the database powering their user feed became unavailable and then recover without leaving helpful traces, they had to devise a novel approach to uncover the root cause using off-CPU profiling with eBPF.

Azure Logic Apps Adds Sandboxed Code Interpreters to Agent Workflows

Microsoft added sandboxed code interpreters to Azure Logic Apps, enabling agents within integration workflows to generate and execute Python, JavaScript, C#, and PowerShell in Hyper-V isolated sessions. Architects get full control over model selection per workflow. The capability positions Logic Apps as an agent platform for integration alongside Foundry and Copilot Studio.

Presentation: Designing AI Platforms for Reliability: Tools for Certainty, Agents for Discovery

Aaron Erickson discusses the evolution of AI workflows, shifting from "vibe checking" to building reliable, multi-agent frameworks. He explains how to combine deterministic software guardrails with agentic discovery, optimize agent hierarchies, leverage time-series foundation models, and implement rigorous evaluation pyramids to ensure architecture scales effectively in production.
