There’s this saying of “never meet your heroes.” It most definitely does not apply to @scott.hanselman.com who is as great of a human as you’d imagine he is. His article from 10+ years ago “your words are wasted” helped me back then and also now www.hanselman.com/blog/your-wo...

It's fascinating watching developers discover they get better results using "A.I." if they prompt with tests, work in small steps, test continuously, review and refactor throughout, integrate often, and work in smaller teams, and attributing those results to autocomplete.

GenAI Coding: Most teams aren't ready All the evidence I see continues to suggest that good engineering discipline is not just desirable, but essential when using GenAI for coding. But that’s exactly what the vast majority of software engineers - and teams - lack.

"Individual developers report productivity gains using these tools. And at the same time, data shows that the more teams use them, the bigger the negative impact on team outcomes like delivery throughput and release stability. How can both be true?" codemanship.wordpress.com/2025/05/11/i...

If we don't even have the basics right, if we don't even really understand what software development is or how to do it well... how can we do it better and faster with AI?

Most teams don't have a tech problem. They have a learning problem. Fast feedback, short iterations, real users. That’s how software grows. Stop polishing code in a vacuum. Ship. Learn. Improve. Repeat.

Don't forget that LLMs/AI coding tools are NOT good at building novel things. They are good at copying what is out there & what they've been trained on Right now, cutting-edge startups are building so much novel software, using new libraries, frameworks etc. Guess who you need to get these done?

Test-Driven Development is a classic example of usage-driven design. You use it in a test, and that tells you you need it in the code. Design flows backwards from usage. It takes a little getting used to, having a workflow where declaring things proceeds using them. (1/2)

Refactoring mistakes can mean costly bugs and unhappy users. We are only human, after all. I just published a video demonstrating how to do "Replace command with function" in small, safe steps in Java. It's the same steps that @martinfowler.com outlines in his Refactoring book. youtu.be/immGpH8Sgow

Why you’ve probably got Object-Oriented Programming wrong all this time 🤯 Most of us were taught OOP meant classes, inheritance, and exposing state via getters/setters - leading to bloated, brittle systems full of side effects and tight coupling. But that was never the original intention! 1/5 🧵

People complain about advice that's "too abstract". There's power in Abstractistan--take a real situation, translate it into abstract terms, manipulate it, then translate it back to reality. Sometimes you can do things this way that would be impossibly complex if you were just manipulating reality.
