Let’s talk about “Move fast and break things.” First of all, Facebook itself changed its motto to “Move fast with stable infrastructure” in 2014. So much for breaking things, at least if you’re a soulless corporate behemoth.

The latest Cloudflare and Amazon outages have got me thinking about utilities. We can't build modern software without dependencies. The days of running entirely on the client are over, which I see as a good thing. The cost is that we rely on infrastructure.

This December, I'll be posting an article & video each day until Christmas in the Advent of Compiler Optimisations! #AoCO2025
Each day we'll explore a fun optimisation in C or C++; some low-level, x86 or ARM-specific, some high-level. Hope you'll join me!

To me, any place that treats SM as a job title has it wrong on a fundamental level.
SM-as-job-title thinking quickly devolves into the SM-is-a-manager anti-pattern. All "Agile" (including Scrum) teams are self-managing/self-organizing.

Agentic AI systems are amazing, but so are the security issues they raise. Korny has written a great primer on the problem - and what we can do to mitigate it.

Let's talk about the cost of a stand-up meeting.
Here in the SF-Bay Area, A senior programmer can make $300K/year or more. Starting salaries are more around $175K. Let's average at $250K to make the math easy.
Your cost to the company is higher than that.
