The 1st time I was called out for leaning toward my passion and preferences and ignoring the pros of an alternative technique was by Giulio Vian. We have all been there; moving beyond that is part of the journey toward professional maturity.

More in general ... (TL;DR?!?!?!)
... It takes some distance from personal strengths, preferences, affiliations, biases, and passions, to look objectively at different techniques and understand where each fits well and why. And to learn from different perspectives, even when we may disagree.

Team Topologies Vs Feature Teams
============================
Here at the tech conference Outpace Conf (Manchester), I am exploring the trade-offs, pros and cons, and contextual fitness of two ways to organise teams. And sharing insights from the audience, based on their lived experience.

What bottlenecks are you observing in your day-to-day AI-assisted coding practice?

The next bottleneck for Vibe coding (preferred for prototypes) is resolving the merge conflicts among multiple Agents.

The next bottleneck for Chat-oriented programming (preferred for high-quality production-ready code) is controlling the Agent(s), reviewing, validating and accepting their work.

Each AI-assisted coding style has different advantages, overcomes different existing bottlenecks, while revealing the next bottleneck.

A challenge of ChOP (Chat-oriented Programming) as Andrej Karpathy put it, is to keep agents on the leash (the bottleneck is the code review).

Vibe Coding leads to a different bottleneck, merge conflicts

... Meanwhile, the industry hype sometimes overshadows reality - and data already shows the overpromises.

I’ve pulled together my reflections on:
- Common pitfalls
- Better alternatives for adoption
- Guiding principles for leaders in this fast-evolving space

That data breach is still ongoing on the 15th Sept 2025.

The hacker has clear access to the booking dates, hotel, and the customer's phone number.

No comms to customers - it is shameful of Booking.com

What I’ve learned so far while coding with an LLM genie:
================================

What's working for me

A) 1 goal => 1 chat => 1 one commit
B) Feedback beats "perfect" prompting
C) 3 strikes => switch model
D) My scratchpad > the LLM’s plan
E) Keystone question > roleplay
F) Follow my lead

transformation initiatives are largely failing.
