1. “Code Once, Use Everywhere: Building a Shared Module used by Multiple Projects @ Spring I/O 2026” from Spring I/O 2026
Conference ⸱ +4k views ⸱ Jul 11, 2026 ⸱ 00h 45m 07s
tldw: Vadzim Prudnikau takes a deep dive into the structure of one Spring Boot module from a real shared library built at his company. He walks through its design, configuration and documentation with the actual code on screen so you can see how everything fits together and learn to avoid common mistakes like overcomplicating auto-configuration or leaking internal dependencies. He also shares tips that are rarely mentioned in books or official docs.
2. “Build Your Own BEAM - Martin Janiczek | Code BEAM Europe 2025” from Code BEAM Europe 2025
Conference ⸱ +200 views ⸱ Jul 15, 2026 ⸱ 00h 22m 48s
tldw: Martin Janiczek, a senior software engineer and Elm enthusiast, builds a toy single-threaded implementation of the BEAM scheduler from the ground up. He runs example programs on it and visualizes what it is doing under the hood, covering spawning, preemptivity, messaging and links.
3. “3 Dimensions of NgRx Signals: Choosing the Best Fit for Your App | Marko Stanimirovic | ng-conf 2025” from ng-conf 2025
Conference ⸱ +100 views ⸱ Jul 14, 2026 ⸱ 00h 18m 42s
tldw: NgRx Signals is one of the fastest-growing packages in the Angular ecosystem, offering a reactive and flexible approach to state management. Marko Stanimirovic, core NgRx team member and lead author of the @ngrx/signals library, explores three techniques for managing state with NgRx Signals, each adaptable to different application needs. You will learn how to leverage APIs like SignalState, SignalStore and the SignalStore Events Plugin, then how to pick the approach that best aligns with your project’s requirements.

4. “EU AI Act. What is this thing? (Part 1) (Ep. 310)” from Data Science at Home
Podcast ⸱ Jul 14, 2026 ⸱ 00h 18m 31s
tldl: What exactly is the EU AI Act? In part one of this series, Francesco Gadaleta, senior software engineer and founder of Amethix Technologies, breaks down the regulation and explains what it means for the people building AI systems.

5. “How a query optimization gave birth to infinite scroll” from The Backend Engineering Show with Hussein Nasser
Podcast ⸱ Jul 10, 2026 ⸱ 00h 21m 20s
tldl: The infinite scroll we know from social media today is despised by nearly everyone, yet it began as a backend optimization rather than a UX decision. Hussein Nasser, backend engineer, educator and author of Root Cause, traces how infinite scroll actually originated from a UI change meant to relieve the database from inefficient paging queries. He walks through classic paged results, their limitations, how TikTok pushed the scroll interface forward.
6. “Formal Methods for Every Engineer in an AI-Powered Future” from InfoQ
Podcast ⸱ Jul 10, 2026 ⸱ 0 days 00:23:13
tldl: On InfoQ’s Engineering Culture Podcast, Shane Hastie talks with Gabriela Moreira, research engineer and lead of the Quint specification language at Informal Systems, about making formal methods accessible to everyday engineers. They explore how AI is lowering the barrier to entry for model-based testing and why defining correct system behaviour remains essential human work in the AI era.
7. “The Creator of Pandas on AI, Apache Arrow, and the Future of Software Engineering” from Data Engineering Central Podcast
Podcast ⸱ Jul 8, 2026 ⸱ 01h 00m 12s
tldl: Wes McKinney, creator of Pandas and co-creator of Apache Arrow, joins the Data Engineering Central Podcast for a conversation on how modern data engineering came to exist and where AI is taking software development. He traces his path from building GoldenEye fan sites as a teenager to writing Pandas at a quantitative hedge fund and launching Apache Arrow, touching on DuckDB, DataFusion, Parquet, Spark and the shift from Hadoop to lakehouses. He also explains why large language models make experienced engineers more productive without replacing them, why architecture and good taste now matter more than individual lines of code and why projects like Arrow remain so hard to recreate with AI alone.
8. “1019: LGTM, Ship It: The AI Code Review Problem” from Syntax
Podcast ⸱ Jul 8, 2026 ⸱ 00h 39m 20s
tldl: This episode discusses the pains of AI-assisted development, from the struggle of reviewing thousands of lines of agent-generated code to the technical debt that piles up when teams merge PRs without meaningful human review. Scott Tolinski and Wes Bos also get into local models, whether jujutsu really beats git, how freelancers should price their work in the AI era and how to get your team on board with external libraries.
