Being a Responsible Developer in the Age of AI Hype
Justin Sheehy emphasizes that AI is code, not magic, and warns against inflated claims about AI capabilities. He urges developers to approach AI with healthy skepticism, seeking verifiable evidence and focusing on ethical practices, including addressing bias, privacy, and data integrity. Clear communication about AI’s limitations and accountable use are essential to prevent hype and misuse.

Cell-Based Architecture Adoption Guidelines
The challenges in building modern, reliable, and understandable distributed systems continue to grow, and cell-based architecture is a valuable way to accept, isolate, and stay reliable in the face of failures. Organizations must ensure that the cell-based architecture is the right fit for them and that the migration will not cause more problems than it solves.

Taking Advantage of Cell-Based Architectures to Build Resilient and Fault-Tolerant Systems
Cell-based architectures offer a robust approach to building resilient systems. They achieve this through the core principles of isolation, autonomy, and replication. Each cell manages its resources and makes decisions autonomously. Observability for cell-based architecture requires a tailored approach to address the unique challenges and opportunities presented by this distributed system design.

How Cell-Based Architecture Enhances Modern Distributed Systems
Cell-based architecture has emerged as a response to many challenges associated with distributed systems. It employs the bulkhead pattern to isolate failures to a fraction of the affected infrastructure footprint and prevent widespread impact. Cells can also help organize large architectures into domain-bound deployment and delivery units, which provides essential sociotechnical benefits.
