Interested in how we test systems at Amazon?

In a new article in Communications of the ACM, Ankush and I write about the evolution of systems correctness and testing practices at AWS. We cover classic and formal approaches, and new ones like deterministic simulation.

NEW: updated long-run gap in voting between young men and women in Germany:

Gender divide continues to widen, but contrary to what is often assumed, young men continue to vote roughly in line with the overall population, while young women have swung sharply left.

The cybertruck hasn't achieved much, but it has demonstrated how well other cars are designed. The universal base level of competent car design was kind of invisible until the cybertruck.

The reality, as @natashadevon.bsky.social found this week, is very different

Once again I am leaving the Munich Security Conference in a low mood. Amongst all the noise, the US signalled their plans for Europe, so things are becoming clearer. But things are clearly not good.
