An Architecture Decision Record (ADR) is a short document that captures and explains a single decision relevant to a product or ecosystem. Documents should be short, just a couple of pages, and contain the decision, the context for making it, and significant ramifications.

How should we think about error-handling in concurrent programs? In single-threaded programs, we’ve mostly converged on a standard pattern, with a diverse zoo of implementations and concrete patterns. When an error occurs, it is propagated up the stack until we find a stack frame which is prepared to handle it. As we do so, we unwind the stack frames in-order,…

Autonomous agents mark a new inflection point in AI. Systems are no longer limited to generating responses or reasoning through tasks. They can take action: Agents can read files, use tools, write and run code, and execute workflows across enterprise systems, all while expanding their own capabilities.
