Presentation: So You’ve Decided To Do a Technical Migration
Sophie Koonin discusses the realities of large-scale technical migrations, using Monzo’s shift to TypeScript as a roadmap. She explains how to handle "bends in the road," from documentation and tooling to setting measurable milestones. Sophie shares vital lessons on balancing technical debt with feature work and provides a framework for deciding if a migration is truly worth the effort.
By Sophie KooninArticle: Read-Copy-Update (RCU): The Secret to Lock-Free Performance
Innovative software engineer with expertise in optimizing concurrency through advanced techniques like Read-Copy-Update (RCU). Proven track record of boosting read performance by over 110% in read-heavy workloads. Skilled in leveraging RCU principles across production systems, enhancing architecture efficiency, and streamlining data handling to maximize scalability and minimize overhead.
By Ramesh SinhaDecentralizing Architectural Decisions with the Architecture Advice Process
Our system architectures have changed as technology and development practices have evolved, but the way we practice architecture hasn’t kept up. According to Andrew Harmel-Law, architecture needs to be decentralized, similar to how we have decentralized our systems. The alternative to having an architect take and communicate decisions is to “let anyone make the decisions” using the advice process.

As teams move AI from pilots to production, the hard problems shift from demos to dependability. The first confirmed talks for QCon AI Boston (June 1–2) focus on context engineering, agent explainability, reasoning beyond basic RAG, evaluation, governance, and platform infrastructure needed to run AI reliably under real-world constraints.

GitHub’s Octoverse 2025 report reveals a "convenience loop" where AI coding assistants drive language choice. TypeScript’s 66% surge to the #1 spot highlights a shift toward static typing, as types provide essential guardrails for LLMs. While Python leads in AI research, the industry is consolidating around stacks that minimize AI friction, creating a barrier for new, niche languages.
