Good Architecture Is a Function of Time

Essay arguing that software architecture is about making good decisions easier on a timeframe you can reason about — startups, banks, open source projects and large companies each face different time horizons and constraints, and many architecture disagreements are really disagreements about what timeframe is reasonable.

Oxford Engineering Science — Research News

Research news from the University of Oxford's Department of Engineering Science: robotics, energy, biomedical engineering, AI and more.

Why I recommend it: A university news page, so it highlights its own wins. A handy way to spot new research before it hits the headlines.

Anatomy of a (Postgres) search engine

A clear, patient walkthrough of how full-text search actually works inside a database: inverted indexes, term dictionaries, postings lists, tokenizers, BM25 scoring, and how Postgres does each part. Written by Patrick Reynolds and Eric Ridge and published 22 September 2026. Free to read, no sign-up.

Why I recommend it: The best free explanation I have found of what a search engine is doing under the bonnet — useful even if you never touch a database, because it shows why a search box returns what it returns. It is published by PlanetScale, who sell hosted Postgres, so the closing pitch is theirs; the explanation itself stands on its own.

Technical writing on legacy modernisation, monoliths and microservices, technical debt, cloud migration and where AI coding tools break down on large old codebases.

From the site: Check out all latest posts from vFunction including modernization strategies, cloud migration best practices, and company updates.

Why I recommend it: technical rather than promotional, though vFunction sells modernization software. The pieces on AI assistants meeting million-line codebases are the honest ones.

CERN News

Official news from CERN, the European particle physics laboratory: accelerator and experiment updates, computing and engineering write-ups, and knowledge-sharing pieces, filterable by topic and audience (general public, students, educators, policymakers). Free to read, no account.

Why I recommend it: Worth following if you want technology news written by the people doing the work rather than by a tech press cycle. The Computing and Knowledge sharing topics are the useful filters for a career audience — CERN publishes plainly about large-scale computing, data handling and open-source work, and the writing is aimed at non-specialists.
