Weekend Reading: A weekly roundup of interesting Software Architecture and Programming articles from tech companies. Find fresh ideas and insights every weekend.

Once an AI agent can push to Git, prompt injection becomes an authorization problem. Six things to build before agents get write access: a scoped identity, policy outside the model, a sandbox, MCP review, advisory CI, and traces.

EF Core makes the slow path look exactly like the fast path. A scan, an N+1 loop, and a cartesian join all read like clean LINQ. This guide walks through 18 concrete mistakes across querying, related data, change tracking, indexes, plan caching, and context overhead, with the fix for each and a ready-to-use rule for your AI coding assistant.

Weekend Reading #96 covers AI controls across the SDLC, Meta’s confidential processing architecture for AI glasses, automated dependency analysis across Uber’s service mesh, and Elastic’s benchmark-driven system for safely optimizing Elasticsearch with coding agents.

AI across the software development lifecycle, from requirements and architecture to coding, testing, deployment, operations, security, and compliance. Practical guidance on AI authority, deterministic controls, human ownership, and safe engineering workflows.
