A parable about the true cost of naming things incorrectly. When you name something 'Stripe Payment Intent Id,' you create a contract. Break that contract, and you break trust with every system and developer who relies on that name meaning what it says.- Published on
Writing code is just one piece of the puzzle. The true craft of software engineering lies in change logs, ADRs, post-deployment cleanup, test maintenance, and disaster recovery strategies that distinguish senior developers.- Published on
When code explains itself, you dont need sprawling docs. This shrinks prompt/context size for AI agents, boosts retrieval precision, and reduces hallucinations.- Published on
Fixing these broken systems requires significant remediation.. Most change initiatives fail—not because of technical challenges, but because of how we manage the human side of change.- Published on
Exploring the expansion of Tool-Augmented Workflows (TAW) and how they are revolutionizing the way we build software.- Published on
Explore how eliminating conditional statements can lead to cleaner, more maintainable code through polymorphism, functional programming, and data-driven approaches.- Published on
Research suggests microservices may be more suitable than monorepos for AI coding tools, especially with large projects, due to LLM context window limitations.- Published on

Explore the four non-negotiable principles that enable shipping 10,000 lines of code daily: rapid deployment, intense observability, rigorous testing, and living documentation.- Published on
Examining the revolutionary impact of AI tool calling capabilities on modern software development practices.- Published on
Understanding how to develop and prompt your models is the challenge. Where do you start? The old process was to create a flow, but with models it's a bit different, it's about goals and guardrails.- Published on
Are you meticulously crafting a product, spending months, even years, perfecting every detail before launch? It's a common approach, but it can be risky, leading to wasted resources and missed opportunities.- Published on
Documentation is a double-edged sword. While it provides essential guidance and clarity, it's also a costly endeavor that can drain resources if not managed wisely. Learn what to document, what to skip, and how to make strategic documentation decisions.
