The Myth of Deterministic Software

How I've come to terms with LLM non-determinism in software and abandoned the comforting lies we've been telling ourselves about traditional software.

Opinion | The A.I. Disruption Has Arrived, and It Sure Is Fun

We’re entering a new renaissance of software development. We should all be excited, despite the uncertainties that lie ahead.

We’re entering a new renaissance of software development. We should all be excited, despite the uncertainties that lie ahead.

Code Is Cheap Now. Software Isn’t.

The barrier to entry for building software has collapsed. The barrier to building something that matters hasn’t moved an inch.

Why embracing complexity is the real challenge in software today

In the midst of industry discussions about productivity and automation, it’s all too easy to overlook the importance of properly reckoning with complexity.

Why we committed to a zero-bugs policy - Linear

When we tell people that Linear maintains a zero-bug policy a common response is disbelief. It may sound like a ridiculous approach, but we do it because no other way makes sense.

Designing for Uncertainty - AT Protocol

Ethan Marcotte, who first coined the phrase Responsive Design, joins to discuss how to operate in a world defined by uncertainty.

Software Should Work

An independent conference on software reliability in Columbia, MO on July 16-17, 2026

What Functional Programmers Get Wrong About Systems - Ian Duncan

Type systems verify properties of programs. Production correctness is a property of systems. The gap between these is where the interesting failures live.

Evaluations Are the Real Codebase - The Phoenix Architecture

Why behavior outlives implementations

Convivial design heuristics for software systems

The theme of this workshop is the proliferation of ideas about calling into question the cultural roots of our current programming languages, and the search for alternative paradigms with other cultural bases.
