We are very proud and grateful to have the support of a fantastic Advisory Board again this year to help us put together the #SAGconf program. 
Mahbouba Gharbi, @ufried , @carolali , Rainald Menge-Sonnentag and Rebecca Parsons - thank you for your continued support and valuable work!

Looks like I dodged a bullet when I decided /not/ to randomly add a class slot to one of the main metaclasses. In chapter 2:
"
Don't be fooled by this: metaobject protocols are not designed or implemented by arbitrarily exporting the internal structure of existing implementations. As we go along, we will give explicit attention to the design principles underlying our evolving metaobject protocol.

In my latest article, I shift focus from feature flags and pricing plans to a challenge many SaaS teams are now facing: how to keep your LLM-powered features fast, affordable, and reliable under load.
I break down why LLMs can quietly destroy your margins and what makes these features especially hard to scale. #SaaS #LLM #SoftwareArchitecture
Is Node.js the future of backend development, or just a beautifully wrapped grenade?
Lately, I see more and more backend systems, yes, even monoliths, built entirely in Node.js, sometimes with server-side rendering layered on top. These are not toy projects. These are services touching sensitive PII data, sometimes in regulated industries.
When I first used Node.js years ago, I remember:
• Security concepts were… let’s say aspirational.
• Licensing hell due to questionable npm dependencies.
• Tests were flaky, with mocking turning into dark rituals.
• Behavior of libraries changed weekly like socks, but more dangerous.
• Internet required to run a “local” build. How comforting.
Even with TypeScript, it all melts back into JavaScript at runtime, a language so flexible it can hang itself.
Sure, SSR and monoliths can simplify architecture. But they also widen the attack surface, especially when:
• The backend is non-compiled.
• Every endpoint is a potential open door.
• The system needs Node + a fleet of dependencies + a container + prayer just to run.
Compare that to a compiled, stateless binary that:
• Runs in a scratch container.
• Requires zero runtime dependencies.
• Has encryption at rest, in transit, and ideally per-user.
• Can be observed, scaled, audited, stateless and destroyed with precision.
I’ve shipped frontends that are static, CDN-delivered, secure by design, and light enough to fit on a floppy disk. By running them with Node, I’m loading gigabytes of unknown tooling to render “Hello, user”.
So I wonder:
Is this the future? Or am I just… old?
Are we replacing mature, scalable architectures with serverless spaghetti and 12-factor mayhem because “it works on Vercel”?
Tell me how you build secure, observable, compliant systems in Node.js.
Genuinely curious.
Mildly terrified and maybe old.
The way we build software is changing fast thanks to AI agents.
Cut through the "vibe coding" buzz – I explain what's happening, review tools like Copilot, Cursor, and Continue (plus local with Ollama!), and discuss how engineers can adapt. Importantly, I cover how this is reshaping the junior developer journey!

I'm only going to very lightly touch the general theme of #BDI agent #softwareArchitecture. I will argue that Sandewall's #CAISOR paradigm is a slight generalization Sacha's style of life-long emacs useage to create #AI .
Today basic interactive creation and expantion of new knowledgebases including expected-to-be-complex new types and adding lisp / CEL-logic as regular entities.

Look what arrived just in time for Christmas! 
I've been looking forward to the arrival of my framed book cover for a long time. Now I just need to get it on the wall...
What will take longest, the frame arriving or me getting it on the wall?
