REFLECTING JSON INTO C++ OBJECTS

C++26's reflection features can be used to convert a JSON file into a C++ object at compile time. This post provides a simplified example of parsing key-value pairs and then expands it to handle multiple pairs and different data types (integers, strings, and nested objects) within a JSON object.

LEARNINGS FROM BUILDING AI AGENTS

An AI code review agent was initially too noisy, flooding pull requests with low-value comments. To address this, the Cubic team updated the architecture by requiring explicit reasoning logs, streamlining the toolset, and specializing tasks with micro-agents. These changes led to a 51% reduction in false positives and halved the median comments per pull request.

HOW MUCH SLOWER IS RANDOM ACCESS, REALLY?

There is a performance difference between summing array elements in sequential order versus random order. Experiments were conducted on both a MacBook Pro and a Linux desktop, showing that random access becomes much slower as array sizes exceed cache and RAM capacity, with a 4-16x slowdown observed within RAM limits, and a more drastic slowdown when exceeding RAM on Linux. The standard shuffle algorithm is inefficient for large datasets.

THE TIME IS RIGHT FOR A DOM TEMPLATING API

A declarative templating API would be useful to the web platform to address the lack of ergonomic and efficient DOM manipulation tools. The current absence forces devs to rely on external libraries. A standardized templating API would improve developer experience, security, and rendering times.
