Conduit: An Experience Data Plane for Distributed Reinforcement Learning

Distributed reinforcement learning (RL) scales training by parallelizing actors and learners around an Experience Buffer. As RL workloads grow, however, the buffer becomes more than a replay queue: it is the storage substrate of a large-capacity, latency-critical experience path that every iteration traverses to move, transform, sample, and batch experiences before learner updates can begin.…

The Craft vs. Output Divide: Reclaiming Engineering Mastery in the Age of AI Copilots

Originally published on tamiz.pro . The Illusion of Speed The modern software engineer faces a paradox: we have never been able to produce code faster, yet maintaining the quality of our systems has…

  • AI-assisted coding tools lower barrier to correct code creation, benefiting average developers.
  • Senior engineers' deep understanding, complex system design, and debugging skills weaken.
  • Treating AI as junior colleague helps maintain critical thinking and flow state.
