Great concept. As someone who’s a big fan of journaling and keeping notes, I definitely agree this should be encouraged across teams. In one environment, we introduced a similar practice, though instead of calling them “weeknotes,” we named

I guess I’ve got some reading and research ahead of me. I definitely would rather support the idea of treating LLM calls more like structured library functions, rather than letting them run wild. Definitely bookmarking this for reference. A

Interesting, and thanks for explanations. In this case, the agent would also need to learn from new events, like project lessons learned, for example. Just curious: can a RAG[1] system actually learn from new situations over time in this ki

That’s sound advice, really appreciate the link. Regarding your point about continuous monitoring, that’s actually the first thing I mentioned to the client. It’s still highly experimental and needs to be observed, corrected, and tweaked co

Thanks for sharing this. I'm actually starting to explore integrating an agent into one of my SaaS solutions, based on a client request. To be honest, my experience with agents is still pretty limited, so I’d really appreciate any advi

I guess AI will be the least of our worries.

Fair point, and I appreciate your comment. I’ve been speaking from the perspective of someone already working in the field, but let me offer another angle. Outside of coding, I’m also a new blogger and writer trying to publish articles and

That’s the part that keeps me up at night at times. I’m already seeing my workflow shift fast, and the next 6–12 months feel even more unpredictable. Staying adaptable feels like the only real option, but I get that even that might not be e

Great example, and to be honest, I’m guilty of the same. I used ChatGPT to come up with a logo for one of my projects, and it only took about five minutes. The kicker? The designer I would’ve usually handed it to actually approved it and li

Another good point. I guess my values don’t align with how business accountability principles. Here’s hoping things shift, but you are right, I’m not holding my breath.

I guess that's what makes it scary. Good point. thanks.

This is a perfect example of how AI can be a powerful partner in development when you already know what you’re trying to solve. Feels like the real sweet spot right now is: humans define the goal and validate the work, AI just helps fill in

Totally agree. I was simplifying for discussion’s sake, but yeah, I learned the hard way that vague prompts will lead you that rabbit hole. If you’re not crystal clear, you get everything but what you actually wanted. These days, I make s

Well put. And funny enough, I’m actually a complete newbie in photography and just got one of those expensive Sony cameras, so I know exactly what you mean. It’s overkill for my current skill set. But the key difference? I’m not planning to

Fair enough, but what happens when those same companies start realizing it’s not just about reduced quality, but also security risks and costly errors? At some point, the savings get wiped out by the consequences. Do they go back to hiring

Totally agree! That’s where I think cybersecurity experts and system administrators deserve a lot of credit too. AI might help automate some of the work, but it’s also conjuring up threats that are way more complex and sneaky. Hopefully, co

Not an expert here, just speaking from experience as a working dev. I don’t think AI is going to replace my job as a software developers anytime soon, but it’s definitely changing how we work (and in many cases, already has). Personally, I

Hope I’m not too off-base here, but reading this really hit home as i recently decided to make some drastic changes. I get it, life throws different stuff at all of us. I’ve had more lemons than I ever asked for. But for me, it’s not about

Steven Johnson encourages us to think across multiple scales of experience when reading 19th-century novels. I agree and I’d argue Don Quixote, written in the early 1600s, was the prototype. Don Quixote has always been one of my favorite b

From what I understand, the author's proposal for a tag-based file system reminds me of how Microsoft Azure Blob Storage works. Azure blobs support multiple queryable tags per file, which aligns with the idea of organizing by metadata

Yes, I did. I started my day with that comment, and funny enough, I'm logging off on it too. I guess I really do believe it. Thanks for noticing.

Solid article and great advice in my opinion. One simple takeaway for me is managing well means being accessible to your team at all times. I completely agree that managers shouldn't encourage criticism of other team members, even by s

Good point. With my limited understanding of the cosmos, collisions are inevitable, when they happen depends on which rock you're standing on and how long you're willing to wait. It's comforting to know scientists are out the

Totally agree, and you’re right. I’ve been doing focus sessions for so long that I sometimes forget how hard it was at the beginning. At first, even 5 minutes felt like a challenge. Then 10. Reaching 20 took time and patience. Starting with

Not sure about digital tools, but I’ve leaned more into analog methods, specifically the Pomodoro technique. I started with short intervals and gradually built up to 90-minute and sometimes longer focus sessions (which I wouldn’t recommend

That’s an interesting point you make, and a great example with Charles Stross. It’s a good reminder that ideas and inventions can have surprising real-world effects, sometimes not what the creators hoped for. I’m dreading the day I hear, “I

I get what you’re saying, and it makes total sense. I’d lean toward it being the best (and worst) of both worlds: sometimes stories spark inventions, sometimes inventions spark stories, and we can probably agree it’s rarely just one-way. In

That is interesting. I might have to find some time to check out the book. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thanks for your comment, that’s exactly what I was wondering about. For me, I actually tend to see things the other way around where authors often inspire tech. Example, engineers who watched Star Trek as kids and ended up designing the fir

It is always fascinating to see how much influence authors and scientists have had on each other throughout history. You sometimes see clear examples of how fiction fuels technology, and sometimes technology inspires fiction. As a writer wh
