Tech loves finding ways to avoid talking to another human
I hate the re-soloing of development. We were so close to learning social skills, creating community, encouraging creativity & purpose, & applying empathy. Easier to manage if each of us is so busy with our genieswarms that we don't have time to talk & reflect.
Imposter syndrome in software
Iβm still waiting for those unicorn product managers who understood the business.
We're all living in Amerika.

Yes. Didnβt know there was a blog post. Thanks.
when people talk about AI used in moderation of social media posts, you must remember there is always the human-in-the-loop, often a woman, often in the Global South, always dehumanised and forgotten

LLM subscriptions lock out developers in non-western countries. Itβs hard to afford a Claude subscription when the monthly pay is 350 USD. There is no regional pricing. Not every one has access to a credit card. I thank software piracy for starting my tech career
Been reading it. Loved the section on durable vs non-durable code π
These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.
I used NCrunch www.ncrunch.net in its early days and I think it becomes essential with agent coding flows.
Teams with good inner feedback loops have always thrived in chaotic and uncertain environments. The early agile teams thrived in unagile environments. At 7d and BBCW we didnβt wait for an Enterprise Agile framework to be handed on a plate to us. We figured it out :)
Generating code was never the goal. The goal was to solve problems. I tried my best to avoid writing code by leveraging existing solutions or reframing the problem.
Writing code was always a last resort and a liability. If I was going to write code, then I was going to do it right.
New post: Code quality feedback loops in AI dev workflows
Nothing exciting, just some basic ideas I've been applying, but it helps me to understand where AI-assisted development is likely heading.

Ep. 18: Architecture Modernization with Nick Tune
i've been a fan of @nick-tune.me's books, writing and talks for many years, so it was great to be able to have a conversation about all things architecture modernisation π

I remember when you first made this. Showed up on my RSS reader. Well done for 21 years of parenting
Thank you!π
Elon Musk is a white supremacist. Case closed.
How am I supposed to treat LLMs as just a tool when itβs linked the disruption that the techno-oligarchs are causing.
Charity said it better than I could. I explored feedback loops in a contrarian talk Pipelines are dead. speakerdeck.com/hibri/pipeli...
Very busy. Itβs chaos and a lot of juggling. Mondays are when I relax :). Weekend mornings are swimming and tennis. Then itβs play dates or doing something as a family. Breaking up arguments and dealing with meltdowns when they are out of their routine.
This is why the βI donβt do anything wrong, so I donβt need privacy β argument doesnβt hold. We need privacy from the government too for when the government becomes the terrorist, which the US government currently is.

Replacing humans with AI is going really well
for the love of god, AI systems aren't "just tools that are neither good nor evil in and of themselves". AI systems *are* tools of capitalism. they exist as tools of capitalism. there is no AI system "in and of itself" outside of capitalism
The discussion is on @johncutle.fish's "20 Things I Learned As A Systems (Over) Thinker", on the first Monday of the New Year. It's free, and discussions tend to be free-ranging.

Were we shipping perfectly crafted code before AI? π
I've written another article relating to software architecture (Continuous Architecture specifically) exploring why quality attributes seem to ALWAYS be ignored and what to do about it. www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-yo.... I'd be interested to hear what your experiences are on this.
The train provided immediate and obvious value. There was clear differentiation.
