What an experience QCon AI New York was!
Our miners Carlos Lopes and Talysson Oliveira spent two days learning from engineers who are building and scaling AI systems in production — beyond hype, focused on what actually works in real-world environments.
From architecture and resilience to MLOps, constraints, and decision-making, QCon AI delivered exactly the kind of deep, practical insights we value and bring back to our work.
Tech skills expire. A process for learning doesn't.
Our new InfoQ Architect Certification isn't about memorization. It teaches you a method to master the future of tech by analyzing top QCon talks and applying the insights to real problems.
It's proof you can handle what's next.

After years of hosting QCon, we noticed senior leaders get stuck applying insights to complex challenges.
So we built the InfoQ Certified Architect Program: a 5-week cohort where you'll work with peers to turn QCon insights into real-world impact.

#QCon #InfoQDevSummit
Last year, I gave a number of talks on the subject of pen plotters / drawing machines, and how they have been used in different ways to realise different forms of art.
I wasn’t immediately able to share the main talk (the closing keynote from QCon London 2024), but I posted about the shorter edition that I delivered at Electromagnetic Field, and I’ve also written about the distinction between computer art generated using algorithms, and generative AI creations.
It took some time for the video to become available to share, but you can now take a look at the closing keynote that began it all, on the InfoQ website: Where is the Art? a History in Technology. I really enjoyed researching the subject.
This year, I plan to tinker with building more of my own plotters, in different formats.
Plotting with paintNext up, we have our fifth (!) Wimbledon Art Fair – next month, May 8-11. We’re still working with the plotter and pouring paints, and have upgraded from the AxiDraw A4 SE to a larger NextDraw 1117 for some of our more recent work. If you’re in the neighbourhood, do come and take a look!

Apologies to anyone at #qcon that was going to catch my talk. Unfortunately I've been 🤮 and there's no way I could travel :(
I was looking forward to this so very sad not to make it at the last minute :(
It's #qcon London!!
We're here with a booth and talks on #ZeroTrust and #apacheflink.
Also meeting old friends Nf colleagues!
A relaxed 15km trail run with 500m EG very close to where I live. Even though I've run here many times, every season has its own special magic 🌞 There's no doubt that spring has finally arrived here in the mountains as well!
Tomorrow till Friday I'm off to #London for #QConLondon, which I'm really looking forward to. Let's see how much running I get to do here 😎

“Looking forward to #QCon London! I’ll be speaking on Changing Power Dynamics and what senior engineers can learn from junior engineers—sharing strategies to flatten power dynamics and create a more inclusive culture.
