I find it interesting that we already have patterns established, while agentic approach is still being adopted in various industries in varying maturity.

At some point, we need to begin. My initial thought was that this is a growing and evolving resource, primarily for my own use. We are slowly but steadily learning what makes sense annd patterns emerge. Also, if others find it interesting and contribute, that would be even better.

Agents have been around for decades. Some of these patterns pre-exist the current LLM boom.

Yep—many of these predate LLMs.

moment I read personal cloud, how is fail over supported... probably dumb question I assume.


I couldn't help laughing


The definition of “native Brit” is vague — by ancestry? birthplace? passport? Seems like a rhetorical choice.


He links to some census statistics from Wikipedia about the demographic makeup of London over time, and then says:

> In 2000, more than sixty percent of the city were native Brits. By 2024, that had dropped to about a third

Those figures line up with the "White British" row of the table: 59.79% in 2001, 36.8% in 2021.

So it seems pretty clear his definition of "native Brit" means "White British person".


Good point. British people don't really exist. What are even English or Scottish people? French people? European people? Where does it start, where does it end? We don't know.

We don't know what a white person is. No idea, no clue. Where could we even start?

Funnily enough, though, those considerations never seem to apply to Palestinians, native Americans, indigenous Australians, etc. There is only a certain group that is somehow impossible to define precisely, yet is the primary target of those considerations.


I see you created the account to just post this so you're highly likely to not be worth the response but "native brit" is vague not because British people don't exist - there is a legal definition for that - but because Britain has been invaded and seen migration for millenia. Are Normans less native than Anglo-Saxons? Are the Celts the most native? Why do the Vikings and Franks get to assimilate into nativity but not the non-white? The answer to that is very clear - however people tend to hide it behind terms like "native".


>but "native brit" is vague not because British people don't exist - there is a legal definition for that - but because Britain has been invaded and seen migration for millenia.

but "native african" is vague not because African people don't exist - there is a legal definition for that - but because Africa has been invaded and seen migration for millenia.

>but because Britain has been invaded and seen migration for millenia.

So has practically every other nation including those located in Palestine, Australia, and the Americas.

>Are Normans less native than Anglo-Saxons? Are the Celts the most native? Why do the Vikings and Franks get to assimilate into nativity but not the non-white? The answer to that is very clear - however people tend to hide it behind terms like "native".

Are Afrikaners less native than Bantus? Are Khoisans the most native? Why do Khoekhoen and San get to assimilate into nativity but not the White? The answer to that is very clear - however people tend to hide it behind terms like "native".


Given the British empire, it can’t be British people because they spanned the world. All of the empire -> commonwealth had mobility. It’s skin tone, not culture. Unless this is the celts wanting to get the British isles back.


I mean you can say that about literally every other peoples on the planet, so it's not very convincing.


I missed title to be "how relevant is java in world of AI"


seems similar to selenium plugin for firefox, minus the scripting it generates.


My blog offers nothing new - https://lazydevstories.com/

But I still write. I want to read or research some topics myself and consolidate all my readings in a blog post, clarifies few things for me.

1. It tells me structurally what I understood

2. It creates a structure in my mind for that topic that stays a long time

3. Gives me a place to go back when I want to

4. Sometimes explaining a concept is hard and I would like to write and with some pictures it could mean reader understands my depth of knowledge, and it also clarifies my gap in my knowledge.

5. simply writing is a joy.


My reaction is "No way, not again !!". I personally done this internal orchestration at scale at a large enterprise spanning millions of execution and it has scalability problem. we eventually externalized it to bring back sanity.


Could you describe the scalability issue? Was it due to maintaining a bespoke execution engine in-house, the limits of RDBMS vertical scaling, other?


Focus , one I am struggling with recently, central theme and I read this at right time. Thank you for writing this


My 2 cents - There is no anti-pattern specific to event driven. It is essentially asynchronous nature. It means you start with understanding the business needs and SLA. Question often comes in my experience is "can they wait?" and what's the risk of dirty data or data fetched with delay ( worst case ). event driven is always about worst case scenario and will it work then.


The main anti pattern is making the wrong choice; using async when sync fits better.
