In the pickup line again.
Naming things.

If you have to read it three times to understand it, that's not clarity -- that’s a naming problem.

Clean code starts with clear names.

Document what’s not being migrated too.
You’ll be amazed what gets left behind when no one writes it down.

AI can write code. But learning to code still matters.

Rahul Pandey from Taro said it best in IEEE's Career Alert: AI will not replace developers. It will expand who gets to build.

Coding is not disappearing. It is evolving.

In the pickup line. From the desk today: the coding agent is just a super fast junior dev. Turns out, the magic trick is still writing a solid ticket.

The "best" solution depends on project values -- speed, scale, or simplicity. Don’t dismiss ideas too quick.

If you broke the build, it’s your job to fix the build. Even if it wasn’t your fault. 🚗

AI just placed in the top 10 of a forecasting competition -- better than most humans.

Makes me wonder: how will forecasting reshape engineering? Timelines, bugs, infrastructure, capacity... all predicted before they break.

Coding agents aren’t replacing engineers. They’re helping with boilerplate, debugging, and onboarding so we can focus on architecture and design.

How are you weaving them into your team’s daily workflow?

React won by default.

Ecosystem maturity matters -- but we overplay it. Solid, Qwik, and Svelte are strong too. Balance is the win: ship value now without tomorrow’s maintenance nightmare.
