The Impact Of Humanoid Robots On Humanity — Smashing Magazine

We have officially moved past the era of humanoid robots as mere public relations stunts. As they become increasingly lifelike, society may soon face profound social, psychological, and ethical challenges. What happens when the boundary between humans and machines becomes almost impossible to distinguish?

Architecture — Agentic Testing: Where Agents Fit in the E2E Testing Stack

Agentic Testing: Where Agents Fit in the E2E Testing Stack

Abstract Agent-driven end-to-end (E2E) tests add a new exploratory layer to testing, but should they replace traditional deterministic tests? We ran more than 200 agentic E2E workflows using the Playwright MCP, Playwright CLI, and agent-generated Playwright tests in test workspaces using non-production data to find out how agentic testing could fit into both our and…

SRE & Ops — Lights Out, Systems On: Validating Instant Power Loss Readiness

Lights Out, Systems On: Validating Instant Power Loss Readiness

We’re introducing Instantaneous PowerLoss Storm, a new testing paradigm within Meta’s infrastructure for handling and mitigating instant or zero-notice power loss in our data centers. We’re sharing: how we built readiness to tolerate instant failures into our existing systems with defense-in-depth strategies; tradeoffs made in implementing it, and how we validated our readiness.

Security — Slack AI: The Path to Multi-Cloud

Slack AI: The Path to Multi-Cloud

In early 2023, Slack faced a foundational challenge: serving Large Language Models (LLMs) at enterprise scale with the security, reliability, and performance our customers expect. Over three years, we evolved from basic infrastructure to orchestrating a sophisticated multi-cloud architecture. We didn’t just want shiny new models; we needed a system resilient to regional outages and…

Security — The VibeSec Reckoning

The VibeSec Reckoning

“Vibe coding” - the practice of non-technical citizen builders using generative AI tools to rapidly develop applications, this has significantly accelerated software prototyping. However, because AI agents naturally prioritise the path of least resistance, they frequently recommend insecure configurations, creating systemic security exposure across industries. To combat this we need to write a sec

Engineering — Maintainability sensors for coding agents

Maintainability sensors for coding agents

In a recent article about harness engineering for coding agent users, I laid out a mental model for expanding a coding agent harness: a system of guides and sensors that increase the probability of good agent outputs and enable self-correction before issues reach human eyes. This article is a more practical follow-up where I walk through my experience with using sensors that help keep the codebase
