The @thoughtworks #TechRadar for April 2024 is worth a read - covers the movement away from #OpenSource licenses (the @osi gets a mention for their stewardship of licenses to date, and flags challenges), the rise of #AI code generation and the impacts on #CI and #CD workflows (AI code generators change workflow patterns), and #architectures for #LLM creation - we're seeing distinct patterns emerge through #RAG.

I've always enjoyed the Tech Radar format - it simplifies the complexity of a fast-changing landscape and makes it tractable for decision makers.

#Compsci people:

if you were to compare #distributed computing #architectures, what are the features along which you'd compare them?

Some ideas:

1. Where on the CAP tradeoffs something is.
2. Tolerance against hostile nodes.
3. Supporting localized innovation/extension.
4. Statistical properties such as max latency.
5. Ease of recovery from node failures.
   ...

Anybody have a good list so I don't need to make one up on my own?
