"As InfoQ celebrates 20 years, we're recognizing the people who make this community what it is!

Dan Gomez Blanco, Principal Observability Architect at New Relic & OpenTelemetry Maintainer, shared why community matters more than ever:

Technology moves fast, but practitioner-driven spaces help engineers learn from real experiences, exchange practical knowledge, and stay connected to what works in the real world.

Thank you, Dan! 🙌

🎂 Happy 20th Anniversary, InfoQ!

There are three types of question in the Q-Con pub quiz: 1. Very specific questions that I am absolutely sure of the answer to, like: which games company was investigated by the FBI in the 1990s? 2. Questions that I am infuriated that I don't know the answer to, like: what is the name of the nightclub in Terminator? 3. Questions I have no clue about whatsoever.

My talk from #QCon San Francisco 2025 is now public with video and transcript. Directing a Swarm of Agents for Fun and Profit. My #AI native approach to using #Claude to experiment and benchmark different approaches, and the structural and organizational changes that are happening. https://www.infoq.com/presentations/coding-agents/
Directing a Swarm of Agents for Fun and Profit

Adrian Cockcroft explains the transition from cloud-native to AI-native development. He shares his "director-level" approach to managing swarms of autonomous agents using tools like Cursor and Claude Flow. Discussing real-world experiments in BDD, MCP servers, and language porting, he discusses why the future of engineering lies in building platforms that orchestrate AI-driven development.

Having to commute daily attending #qcon really makes me appreciate working from home while still being a 15 minute walk from the office if needed. I can’t believe I used to do this everyday for years. Has it got worse or has it always been this bad?

Anyone else at QCon? I'll be in the security-track unconference thing after lunch and then my talk is the last one today, in Windsor (5th floor).
