Here is the conundrum that many software professionals are currently experiencing and getting confused by: it is possible to burn all kinds of cycles/tokens/time/money when using AI to tackle even some fairly trivial issues.

I have worked on many software delivery projects throughout my career, and was fortunate enough to team up with some experienced software engineers. I've learned a lot on those projects, especially on those that were mission critical (a lot of financial, healthcare, insurance, airline related, etc.)

I see that people claim how recruiting and interviewing is broken in the year 2025. I absolutely disagree. I think the way recruiting and hiring seems to be going right now is perfect. Why do I think it's perfect?

I prefer draft-flag development. Any time I touch code, it becomes a draft. I work on it until I'm confident that I can safely publish it. There is only one flag -- draft. And it lives in production, in its blessed binary state.

Let's compare AI-Native to Cloud-Native. When going Cloud-Native, we choose the vendor and then we pick an appropriate plan. We may go for it cafeteria style, picking and choosing components and services offered on the menu.

Why is it that every time I get to experience any conversation with religious people, there is always this eery, creepy vibe, the accusations, the attacks, the threats? Meanwhile, any time I get into conversations with secular people, it is nice and relaxed and friendly and edifying.

Disruptive techno bros love to create experiences of the highest astonishment (that's how they disrupt). I remember the first time I called Uber and the driver arrived driving Tesla.

If we use something and it works as expected, there is no need to understand how it works. But if we use something and it doesn't work as expected/advertised, then we need to take a closer look.

If, after reviewing the tests, the team still feel the need to review the code, that is an indication that those tests are of substandard quality.

How many people realize that it is possible to do anything wrong? I see people who call to complain how they used AI and it didn't work. and those people are similar to people who complain how they tried to drive the car but it didn't work.

To know what the change was, we look into tests. There is no need to examine the code to be able to understand what the change was.

Here is an interesting observation: a team works on building a system by taking small steps. One step at a time.

It would appear that for many software professionals the process of creating functionality by making tiny changes and then interrupting the flow by testing those tiny changes is perceived as not a desirable way to work.

People tend to merely extrapolate their experiences. They often cannot envision how things could be done any differently from how they are accustomed doing them.

High performing teams practice Trunk-Based Development, which means the delta between the code that's in production and the code that is in development is miniscule. There is no bloated inventory in high performing teams.
