Designing IIoT Ingest That Survives a Cut Uplink (opens on the source site)
IIoT ingest that survives a cut uplink: enforce each reading’s identity, buffer durably at the edge, and cap the replay so catch-up can’t starve live sites.
The Agents on Rails Files: designing black-box evals for coding agents (opens on the source site)
Authors: Vladimir Dementyev, Principal Backend Engineer, and Travis Turner, Tech Editor Topics: AI, Rails, DX, LLM benchmarking, Agentic development, LLMs Tips and tricks on writing robust evals for coding agents that test apps whose code we've never seen: different UI/UX contract strategies, UI mutation testing, browser-based E2E verification gotchas. The Agents on Rails is an LLM benchmarking project governed by the Rails Foundation. They commissioned Evil Martians to design and implement the evaluation tasks and the tooling to run trials at scale. You can follow the Ruby on Rails blog for…
Designing A Secure Voice AI System for Regulated Industries (opens on the source site)
Haptik ·
Voice AI is moving from experimentation to production. Banks, insurers, healthcare providers, telecom companies, and other regulated organizations are increasingly exploring voice AI agents to automate customer service, assist employees, support transactions, and handle high-volume interactions. But voice introduces a fundamentally different security problem. A voice interaction is not simply a conversation converted from speech to text. It is a real-time data pipeline involving audio streams, speech recognition, conversational intelligence, APIs, enterprise systems, and potentially automated…

Designing the Front Door to Our Subscriptions (opens on the source site)
Illustration by Suvi SuitialaBy Tracie Lee (VP of Design, Growth & Platforms) & Pamela Glass (Director of Design, Growth)The mission of The New York Times is clear: We seek the truth and help people understand the world. Fulfilling that takes creativity and expertise from every part of the company, and for teams that work on growing our subscriber base, it raises questions: How do we earn and maintain trust with millions of readers as they consider subscribing? How do we use experimentation and data responsibly to grow The Times? How do we help subscribers feel that their money is well…

Beyond Human-in-the-Loop: Designing AI Oversight That Actually Scales (opens on the source site)
Haptik ·
As enterprises rapidly embrace AI Agents and Voice AI Agents, one question that consistently arises during customer evaluations, boardroom discussions, and compliance reviews is "Where is the human in the loop?" It’s a fair question. Human oversight has become a cornerstone of trustworthy AI, reinforced by emerging regulations, governance frameworks, and growing expectations around accountability. But there is a practical challenge that organizations rarely discuss. Imagine an enterprise AI Voice Agent handling hundreds of thousands of customer conversations every day. Each interaction…

Designing safer listItems and getItem permissions (opens on the source site)
When you implement authorization for an endpoint that returns a list of items, there is an optimization that simplifies the policy structure a bit: define only the permission to list but not to get items. This makes it a bit easier for a policy writer to think about permissions as there is less duplication. For example, in a ticketing system that provides an endpoint to list tickets (/project/project1/tickets) and to get a ticket by ID (/tickets/:ticketid) both endpoints need an authorization check (can the user list tickets / get this ticket?). If both of them return the same objects (the…
Designing a team of agents (opens on the source site)
I continue to experiment with AI in the context of software engineering. I’m fortunate that my team supports me in exploring different ways to improve our daily work. This week, I designed a team of autonomous agents to implement features, from design to implementation. Why autonomous agents? A long time ago, we were delighted when the IDE offered auto-completion. In the previous two years, things have changed. A lot. Coding assistants have become our primary interfaces for coding.
Designing a Digital New York Times Museum (opens on the source site)
How five product design interns created an award-winning virtual museum experience for employeesIllustration by Lucas BurtinBy Nuoran Chen, Mina Chung, Frannie Ello, Christina Su, and Bella RinneA key element of The New York Times Product Design Internship Program is a cohort project where all the interns work as a group to create a deliverable that is presented to the entire product design team. We, the summer 2024 cohort, were tasked with designing a proof-of-concept that brings the internal company museum in the NYC office to remote employees.The Times Museum is home to multiple artifacts…
TLDR: Designing Hyper-Deterministic, High-Frequency Trading Systems (opens on the source site)
Peter Lawrey is the CEO of Chronicle Software, which counts multiple Tier 1 banks among its clients. He is a Java Champion who has provided the highest number of Java and JVM-related answers on stackoverflow.com. He also architected low-latency Java trading libraries downloaded 13 million times in October 2024. In this video, Peter examines how trading systems are designed to support microsecond-latency microservices and how these can be combined to construct complex trading solutions such as Order Management Systems (OMS), pricers, and hedging tools. This presentation was recorded at QCon…
Designing API Errors (opens on the source site)
When everything goes smoothly with an API, life is pretty straightforward: you request a resource, and voilà, you get it. You trigger a procedure, and the API politely informs you it’s all gone to plan. But what happens when something goes pear-shaped? Well, that’s where things can get a bit tricky. HTTP Status Codes HTTP status codes are like a first aid kit: they’re handy, but they won’t fix everything. They give you a broad idea of what’s gone wrong, which can help plenty of tools and developers make reasonable assumptions, like: 400 Bad Request: Report error to developers, something is…
