Curious what industry your in and what your facing AI wise?

This makes me fear for the ability to easily dismiss or silence a particular human viewpoint just by insinuating it is “AI-generated”.

Quality software meets its requirements. Both functional and non-functional. Of course our industry still cannot quantify non-functional requirements, or discover a way to predictably implement functional requirements. So all that remains f

All I see is disgusting popups - “k-ll j——“, “r-pe n——“ Very upsetting, no thanks to you. Who wants that on their web site? In some jurisdictions you’re going to be in trouble for facilitating hate and calls for violence (or worse). This is

They may be getting 3 times the work done, but what work? Quality effective code that meets requirements? Or something else?

Nice, I don’t think your foolish. Now you just need to ignore the jokes that say that Actuaries make Accountants look exciting! A couple of decades ago I was leading a project migrating one of the main applications widely used by actuaries.

Frankly I’m sad to hear it. There are just too many programmers - simple. 30 years ago or so, I was a contractor working on back-to-back 3 to 12 month C++ projects. I would typically get a call one day from a recruiter followed by a phone c

What concerns me the most is that improvements in software design are at an end. The “big ball of mud”, which really is a problem of modularity and dependencies, will never improve through innovation because the way it is done now is all th

Email them because most people these days never receive a personal email from another real human being, instead of newsletters, solicitations, marketing, announcements, notifications and spam.

The solution would seem obvious - decide what you want, then hire the first applicant that qualifies. Of course, the real issue is that a prospective employer doesn’t know what they want. Our “engineering” industry runs on vibes, heroic eff

> Accenture is in trouble with their main consulting business due to AI Is this something being seen across all outsourcers like Accenture, Wipro, Infosys etc?

My fear is that durable workflows are increasingly being seen as required for everything, because we need to solve the distributed transaction problem in a micro-services world. It questions the initial wisdom of creating lots of little ind

Just looked at it for the first time. My first impression - grey, gray and more grey. Please help brighten our day by adding some color to the page?

To me “clanker” is a derogatory word that just sounds ugly. I recoil when I hear them use it. Perhaps it my anglo background, and it sounds different/better to German speakers.

The assumption here is that the profitable price (variable costs) is only the api price. I question that. Subscriptions can be equally profitable depending on the total actual tokens used across users. Few subscriptions use 100% of their

Anyone taking part in a meeting these days should state out loud … “Notice: Any comments made by <name> or on behalf of <organization> that are interpreted by AI in this meeting, may not be accurate.” I do this in every meeting.

This seems to assume that all there is, is systems software, tools and frameworks. Why ignore the elephant in the room - business / enterprise / line-of-business software? The case for Rust, Go, Gleam and Zig vastly changes for th

Salary stays the same. A bunch of others are fired. You’re expected to produce their level of output as well as your own. After all, you’re 10x more productive now?

I find Flow really interesting, thanks for pointing it out. Deterministic workflows using AI to help perform those steps not requiring human input has been an area of interest for me for some time. Particularly interesting how you are using

Is it possible that the line of thinking really is that "agentic AI" will up for the capability shortfall? It seems to be the stated expectation, but I find it incredulous that management really would believe that?

Vanity titles never make much sense, and now even more people can call themselves “engineers”. I was always at a loss why many weren’t calling themselves “web engineers”. Hey Mom, I used Claude Code today at work so I’m an Agentic Engineer!

I like the idea of face-to-face discussions. My only fear is that many of the new generation will say they really prefer that we text or slack instead.

> And in practice, they usually only manage people … I usually differentiate between real managers who exist to make decisions, versus those who manage people. The latter are “overseers” not managers.

I think while developers are moving faster, they are moving more dangerously. Perhaps the rest of the organization holding them back is a good thing?

Its a way to say how long it will take without saying how long it will take.
