InfoQ has opened enrollment for its InfoQ Certified AI-Assisted Engineering Program, a five-week online certification for senior engineers and architects who run coding agents on production code, with…
An exploratory evaluation by Thoughtworks technologist Birgitta Böckeler found no clear quality difference between AI coding agents using test-driven development (TDD) inside the agent loop versus not…
Spec driven development, a workflow that makes the specification the source of truth for AI coding agents, is gaining traction but risks becoming waterfall with a chatbot, according to a developer's a…
Anthropic, METR, DORA, and Thoughtworks data indicate that software implementation is becoming cheaper while specification, verification, and ownership remain costly, according to a response to Senko …
Thoughtworks' internal IT organization has developed Structured Prompt-Driven Development (SPDD), a method that treats prompts as first-class delivery artifacts to make LLM-assisted code changes gover…
Thoughtworks' podcast episode on the future of software engineering highlighted open problems in agentic engineering, and a developer responded by detailing how their IRC-A architecture addresses thes…
A Thoughtworks technologist built a 150,000-line application entirely with AI agents (Claude Code and Cursor) and then ran an experiment showing that refactoring a 17,155-line Rust data-access file re…
Birgitta Boeckeler, a Distinguished Engineer at Thoughtworks focused on AI-assisted software delivery, discusses harness engineering for AI agents on the SE Radio podcast. She explains that harnesses …
CEOs must prioritize AI governance over speed to win the corporate AI race, according to Teneo and Thoughtworks leaders. A Teneo survey found 53% of investors expect AI ROI within six months, but only…
Registration has opened for QCon AI New York 2026, a production-AI conference for senior engineers, taking place December 15-16 at The Westin Jersey City Newport. The program, chaired by Eder Ignatowi…
Ben O'Mahony, Principal AI Engineer at Thoughtworks, presented a talk on using OpenTelemetry data from developer interactions with an AI-powered Language Server Protocol to train smaller, faster model…
A developer explores using LLM-as-a-Judge to evaluate AI-generated code, shifting from deterministic pass/fail tests to probabilistic scoring. The approach involves a golden dataset of curated test ca…
Honeycomb completed a multi-month migration of its Kafka infrastructure from self-hosted Confluent Platform and ZooKeeper on AWS EC2 to open-source Apache Kafka 4.1.1 running in KRaft mode on AWS EKS.…
A developer created an AI-assisted Architecture Decision Record (ADR) template that uses large language models to generate documentation in 3-5 minutes instead of 30-40. The template covers ADR struct…
A developer argues that security teams lack leading indicators equivalent to DORA metrics for delivery health. They propose five adapted metrics—evaluation frequency, time to remediate, mean time to r…
Bryan Oliver, a Thoughtworks Radar contributor and author, presented on chaos engineering for GPU clusters at a recent event, highlighting the complexity and scale of modern AI hardware such as NVIDIA…
A developer argues that React Native is the superior choice for AI product engineering in fintech, citing its integration with existing JavaScript ecosystems, faster iteration cycles, and easier hirin…
Platform engineering teams often struggle to demonstrate business value, leading to budget freezes and financial crises. Thoughtworks specialist Punit Lad says the primary hurdle is a lack of business…
Thoughtworks technologist Birgitta Böckeler tested running local large language models for agentic coding on Apple M3 Max and M5 Pro machines, finding that while RAM constraints limit model size to 15…
A Bitcoin Policy Institute report found that a nonprofit network linked to the Chinese Communist Party has blocked or delayed $23.6 billion in AI data center projects across 14 U.S. states, including …
