It is up to us to hold our industry to a higher standard, not just relying on AI tools to write the future of software, while we passively sit by. It has always been crucial for engineers to evolve their understanding of the fundamental principles and now is no different.

Most software development pain is caused by unclear thinking, weak feedback loops, and systems that make change slow, risky, and expensive.

That’s why I create resources like The Software Developer’s Guidebook.

Popularised by Bob Martin, Clean Code principles helped devs write clearer, more maintainable code, and for that, the industry owes it a great deal.

But, is clean code enough to build great software systems in 2026?

If AI is doing the work of juniors... and that stops juniors learning what they need to learn... but AI is not good enough to manage complex software... and so we still need experiences developers for that... how do juniors get the experience to manage the ai generated code? 😬

AI can write code. It can’t tell you what should be built. That’s why ATDD matters more than ever 📈

User stories help all software, not just game development! The past few years have shown a growing trend of AA developers beating out AAA giants for game of the year awards, sales and the hearts of players.

Why is this?

We aren't replacing developers with AI. We are replacing developers with developers who now have to debug AI.

Somewhere along the way, our industry started calling everything a mock.

@emilybache.com explores why the language of mocking in software testing has drifted so far from its original meaning.
