Without Systems Thinking, AI won’t deliver the gains you expect. It’s tempting to throw GenAI at the problem - but applied in isolation, it'll likely deliver little. Worse, it could take you in the wrong direction faster and exacerbate existing problems. blog.robbowley.net/2025/04/07/w... 1/5 🧵

In a world where every team is expected to bring value to the company, in a world where we need to understand systems of ever increasing complexity, why would we POSSIBLY think that we can get away with siloing away our knowledge and understanding and observability systems inside our own companies?

Isn’t the whole point of coding with AI to be more productive and do more in less time? Also this gem in the job description “Solve deep product problems like how to collect more money with a voice AI agent”. Sounds like modern day slavery to me.

Are we undervaluing the benefit of junior developers? GenAI won’t kill junior devs - if anything, it proves why we need them. Coding is the easy part; real value comes from inquisitiveness, problem-solving, and teamwork. Here’s why juniors matter 👇 blog.robbowley.net/2025/02/11/a...
