AI won’t replace software engineers, but it will expose the ones who never learned to think like engineers. Tools can speed you up, but if your thinking’s wrong, AI just gets you to the wrong place faster. Engineering still matters.

Could not recommend more "Architecture Modernization" by @nick-tune.me, it is such an exhaustive guidance, I keep going back to it at each step of the project. If you're involved in a DDD modular architecture project: close ChatGPT, open that book instead. www.manning.com/books/archit...

Sure, AI may be an environmental disaster and produce mid outcomes in cases where it doesn't straight up lie, but at least it's extremely unprofitable.

How @KentBeck thinks about AI coding tools and agents: "They're like a genie. They grant your wishes... but not quite how you expect it. Then you tell it that it's not what you wanted. 'Oh, I'm sorry...' The genie is good at apologizing. But it's not good at meaning it."

What mid-size and larger tech companies are still full-remote? Lots of ones with 100+ devs went back to hybrid. Which ones remain? Ones I know of: - Shopify - Airbnb - Coinbase - GitLab - Mozilla - Grafana - DuckDuckGo Which other ones?

This ports & adapters thing is getting outta hand. If having an adapter implementing 5 interfaces was not enough, now I'm starting to see services implementing 5 use case interfaces, and the best of all is ... A controller having the 5 interfaces injected! Yes, the same service instance 5 times!

@sophweston.bsky.social loved your talk earlier this morning. You mentioned some books in different categories and I was hoping to find the list. Do you mind sharing the book titles again?

I get asked a lot during talks at universities how to integrate LLMs into the classroom "ethically". And the more I think about it, the more I'm affirmed the answer is "don't". This piece by @sonjadrimmer.bsky.social and Christopher Nygren on AI provides some excellent arguments as to why.

Many organizations still measure product teams primarily by their output – features shipped, tickets closed. Break this pattern by shifting the conversation from "What are we building?" to "What problem are we solving, and how will we know if we've succeeded?"

It’s amusing how GitHub implicitly admits there is a problem with Pull Requests but adds another layer of complexity through Merge Queues to solve the symptoms instead of tackling the root cause, ie. the pull request itself. Stacked Diffs is another such thing 🙄 github.blog/engineering/...

Periodic reminder: Microservices are neither a good default architecture nor something to avoid. Netflix, for example, is a microservice system and the architecture is a great choice for them, but most of us are not Netflix. 1/7

An under-appreciated benefit of architecture modernization is the chance for semantic convergence (of your software and mental model). It's common in legacy systems for words and concepts not to align with how people think and talk about the business. 1/4 #architectureModernization #dddDesign

15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner. Even worse if we don’t heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

We are agile you know! Yes, I can see that. You have a lovely kanban board beautifully decorated with sticky notes. It is pretty. But, tell me, why does the Review column look like a nuclear explosion happened?

"It doesn’t matter how fast an individual engineer can write software. What matters is how fast the team can collectively write, test, review, ship, maintain, refactor, extend, architect, and revise the software that they own." Agree so much, @charity.wtf .
