I work at a fully remote company, and coding with Claude hits the "pair programming" itch I have. Obviously it's not the same thing (and I do chitchat with coworkers on teams to get real human interaction during the day), bu

Anytime I do something as a one-off that I know I'll do in the future, at the end of the session I'll ask Claude to write a new skill based on what it did. For instance, I had to run some queries on Azure to check the logs for cer

With the trend going towards devs coordinating multiple agents at once, I am very curious to see how cognitive load increases due to the multitasking. We know multitasking reduces productivity and increases the likelihood of mistakes. Cal

Your experience matches mine too. Experienced devs are increasing their output while maintaining quality. I'm personally writing better-quality code than before because it's trival to tell AI to refactor or rename something. I

Simon's comment about mental exhaustion resonated with me. Earlier this year I spent ~3 days generating 11k lines of HTML validation and sanitization code using multiple agents (having them cross-check each other's work because it

Agreed. On a previous team I was on (no CODEOWNERS there either), we had a Python script in the build process that would look at the git history for the changed files and assign the two most likely people to the pull request automatically.

Thank you for bringing that up! CODEOWNERS wouldn't work for us, but it might for someone else having similar struggles.

This isn't "THE" biggest pain point, but one I dealt with today: we have new devs who ask the whole team, "Can someone do my code review?" This leads to the bystander effect: nobody volunteers to do the code review

I definitely wonder if the people going all-in on AI harnessing are working on greenfield projects, because it seems overwhelming to try to get that set up on a brownfield codebase where the patterns aren't consistent and the code qual

I have a suite of Claude skills all about craftsmanship. Refactoring, renaming, deconstructing god classes, detecting deleted code, etc. I've never written better, more readable, more maintainable code in my life than I have with Claud

I tested out Atlassian Rovo last year. I tried to get it to list all of the Confluence articles I had written in 2025 so I could use that information for my performance review. It found three, regardless of how I queried it. I had actual

I wouldn't be surprised if eventually hiring becomes heavily dependent on personal referrals. That way you know you're at least dealing with a real person and not a bot, a North Korean trying to infiltrate your company, or someone

"AI is actually pretty good at writing tests, especially for common scenarios and edge cases. The tricky part is deciding what to do when tests fail. Sometimes the code is wrong. Other times the spec itself has evolved and the test nee

I have a Claude Code skill for adding, deleting and improving comments. It does a decent job at detecting when comments are out of date with the code and updating them. It's not perfect, but it's something.
