Welcome to ACE Journal — your new source for timely insights at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, Computing, and Engineering.
As we enter a new decade, one thing is clear: the velocity of innovation is accelerating, and keeping up with the latest developments is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. From deep learning frameworks and edge computing breakthroughs to infrastructure engineering and software architecture best practices, the landscape is evolving at a pace that’s hard to match.
So, we asked ourselves: what would a tech journal look like if it were built today, for the decade ahead?
Why ACE Journal?
Back in late 2019, a small group of engineers, researchers, and tinkerers found themselves repeatedly sharing links, analysis, and blog posts in group chats, Slack workspaces, and newsletters. We were each spending hours each week curating insights, writing commentary, or catching up on threads from Hacker News, ArXiv, GitHub, and engineering blogs.
We realized: what if we could build a publication that reflects the fast-changing nature of our field—but makes it simpler to digest, easier to share, and tailored for builders?
Thus, ACE Journal was born.
What We Cover
The “ACE” in ACE Journal stands for:
- Artificial Intelligence – From new research in ML to practical LLM applications.
- Computing – Cloud infrastructure, developer tools, programming languages.
- Engineering – Systems design, architecture, developer workflows, and the human side of building.
We aim to publish:
- 🔍 Concise breakdowns of new ideas, tools, and trends
- 🔧 Technical deep-dives and explainers for working engineers
- 🧠 Forward-looking pieces to help navigate what’s coming next
How We Work
Unlike traditional publications, ACE Journal is built with automation in mind. Over the coming months, you’ll see us experiment with:
- AI-assisted summaries of complex topics
- Auto-curated weekly digests
- Markdown-based publishing pipelines (yes, it’s Jekyll-powered)
- Lightweight editorial workflows that prioritize clarity and accuracy
We’re keeping it simple and clean—just the good stuff.
Who This Is For
Whether you’re a staff engineer exploring distributed systems, a startup founder prototyping with new APIs, or an ML researcher wanting to track where theory meets practice—ACE Journal is for you.
Our goal is to be a lightweight companion for curious, thoughtful technologists who want to build the future without drowning in noise.
What’s Next?
This is our first post—but far from the last. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing:
- A tour of the AI landscape heading into 2020
- An opinionated guide to what every dev should know about Kubernetes (and what to ignore)
- A breakdown of the trends we’re watching in developer tools this year
Thanks for joining us on day one.
Let’s build something meaningful.
