https://techbuzzz.ru/blog/ Thoughts on software engineering, architecture, and the .NET ecosystem en Mon, 12 Oct 2026 16:15:26 GMT https://techbuzzz.ru/blog/adlc-org-and-economics/ https://techbuzzz.ru/blog/adlc-org-and-economics/ Once verification is the binding constraint, an organisation's value is bounded by its verification capacity: unit economics, ROI assumptions, hiring, and where ADLC wins. Mon, 23 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT AI Leadership Engineering Management CTO SDLC https://techbuzzz.ru/blog/adlc-adoption-playbook/ https://techbuzzz.ru/blog/adlc-adoption-playbook/ An adoption guide for engineering leaders: a four-stage maturity ladder, the baseline and in-flight metrics to capture, and a ninety-day sequence for agent-driven delivery. Mon, 16 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT AI Leadership Engineering Management Architecture SDLC https://techbuzzz.ru/blog/adlc-infrastructure/ https://techbuzzz.ru/blog/adlc-infrastructure/ An ADLC is not a model choice: a layer-by-layer account of the deterministic supports — versioned context, artifact chains, evals, gates — needed to run one safely.

Mon, 26 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT AI Evaluation Architecture CTO SDLC https://techbuzzz.ru/blog/sdlc-to-adlc-what-it-means/ https://techbuzzz.ru/blog/sdlc-to-adlc-what-it-means/ A viral diagram credits Anthropic with 'ADLC'. The six stages are right, the attribution is wrong, and the layer that decides whether adoption works is missing. Mon, 19 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT AI Architecture Leadership Engineering Management SDLC https://techbuzzz.ru/blog/async-boundaries-dotnet-ai-calls/ https://techbuzzz.ru/blog/async-boundaries-dotnet-ai-calls/ An AI call in a .NET request path changes the design question from "is this async?" to "where is the async boundary?" — and thread starvation is the bill for getting it wrong. Wed, 26 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT .NET ASP.NET Core Performance Architecture https://techbuzzz.ru/blog/state-tools-approval-gates-checklist/ https://techbuzzz.ru/blog/state-tools-approval-gates-checklist/ A pre-launch checklist for safe agents: what to define about state, how to scope tools, where approval gates belong, and the three failure patterns a gate must stop. Thu, 20 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT AI Architecture Evaluation Enterprise https://techbuzzz.ru/blog/governed-agentic-workflows-enterprise/ https://techbuzzz.ru/blog/governed-agentic-workflows-enterprise/ A six-layer reference architecture for enterprise agentic workflows — intent, policy, planning, tool execution, audit and recovery — with risk-based approvals and a go-live checklist.

Tool scope leakage, asynchronous state divergence, and the invisible approval bypass — with the detection signal for each. Thu, 13 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT AI Architecture MLOps https://techbuzzz.ru/blog/ai-agent-vs-workflow-decision/ https://techbuzzz.ru/blog/ai-agent-vs-workflow-decision/ A decision framework for agent versus workflow: six task characteristics, four architectures on an autonomy spectrum, and the line that separates a deterministic graph from a supervised agent. Tue, 11 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT AI Architecture Engineering Management https://techbuzzz.ru/blog/rag-evaluation-dataset-template/ https://techbuzzz.ru/blog/rag-evaluation-dataset-template/ A 20-question evaluation set across five failure categories — factual lookup, multi-document synthesis, refusals, injection and citation accuracy — is enough to move RAG from PoC to pilot. Thu, 06 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT RAG Evaluation Enterprise AI https://techbuzzz.ru/blog/rag-evaluation-before-production/ https://techbuzzz.ru/blog/rag-evaluation-before-production/ A RAG system without a maintained evaluation dataset is a system that cannot be improved or safely changed. A practical guide to the Minimum Viable Evaluation Dataset (MVED), the five essential categories, LLM-as-Judge architectures, and connecting evaluation to deployment gates.

Why character splitting fails, the precision/recall trade-off, parent-child and hierarchical patterns, the lost-in-the-middle constraint, and a unit-selection table.

A field note on impact radius, problem sourcing, ambiguity, and the day-to-day reality of moving from individual execution to organizational leverage.

A stage-by-stage framework with metrics, ten common failure modes, and a senior-engineer checklist.

Five questions every technical lead should answer before writing the first line of orchestration code — covering retrieval units, evaluation, corpus ownership, latency/cost, and failure UX.
