Rethinking Web Data with Client-Side Event Sourcing
Johannes Schickling discusses moving from a traditional three-tier web stack toward a local-first architecture. He describes building Overtone with client-side event sourcing and SQLite, and compares event sourcing with CRDTs for offline-friendly app design.

SICP Video Lectures from 1986
A complete set of 20 video lectures by Hal Abelson and Gerald Jay Sussman on Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs has been made available. The lectures follow the first edition of the book and are offered under a Creative Commons license compatible with commercial use. They remain relevant for students because the course structure and core themes are largely unchanged in later editions.

Adam Wiggins on Local-First Architecture and Hybrid AI
In this podcast episode, Heroku co-founder and Ink & Switch founder Adam Wiggins advocates for a local-first architecture that blends cloud collaboration with the speed and data ownership of local software. He also discusses using CRDTs and version control concepts beyond code, along with a hybrid AI approach that may rely on local models for core productivity tasks.

OpenAI scales access to Codex and Sora
OpenAI says it built a real-time access system that combines rate limits, usage tracking, and credits to provide continuous access to Codex and Sora. The approach is meant to better manage demand while keeping the services available to users without abrupt interruptions.

Anthropic releases a new constitution for Claude
Anthropic has published a new constitution for Claude, a document that defines the model’s intended values, behavior, and training goals. The company says the constitution now plays a more central role in training and is being released under CC0 so anyone can reuse it freely.

Role implications

TrialAssessConfidence23%

Business→ Steady
For BD, CRDT can still be discussed in narrow contexts such as real-time collaboration or distributed sync, but it is no longer a strong enough selling point to lead the conversation. It should be positioned as a technical option for a specific problem, not as an accelerating trend.
Developers▼ Cooling
CRDT is no longer in a “try it now” posture and is being pulled back into a more selective evaluation phase. For engineers, that means you should no longer default to CRDT for collaborative sync; instead, you need a tighter comparison against conflict requirements, offline behavior, and implementation complexity versus client-side event-sourcing approaches.
Product▼ Cooling
For PMs, CRDT is no longer something to place on the roadmap as a default implementation path. You now need to weigh it against other options for data sync and collaboration, especially as the recent article shifts the discussion toward client-side event sourcing.
Testers / QA→ Steady
For QA, CRDT still requires tests focused on data convergence, update conflicts, and offline behavior. But since the radar has moved to Assess, test effort should stay tied to specific proofs of concept or narrow workflows rather than broader investment.
