Built a tiny zsh plugin that's been super helpful for me - converts natural language to shell commands. Just 5KB, no dependencies. Would love feedback!.

After 10+ years as an engineer, I became the thing I used to complain about: a manager. Finally wrote about why this relationship is so broken (and how to fix it): .

New post is out; I think you'll link this one!.

When AI says, "You're absolutely right!", something bad usually follows.

For me it isn't one *over* the other; more like working with them together. My Claude Code flow usually starts in the terminal, but it's common for me to open Neovim (or Cursor), at the end, to finish the job.

Last year I wrote about how AI won't replace programmers — just like COBOL, OOP, and Low Code didn't. Got a lot of heat for it. "This time is different!" they said. A year later, we're still here. Still shipping. Still needed.

Hot take: Stop following DRY so religiously. I've seen more codebases destroyed by premature abstraction than by duplication. Sometimes copy-paste is the right answer. New post:

Your engineers don't want you to make them "happy" — they want you to help them ship meaningful work.

I just published "The Hidden Cost of AI Coding". As AI coding tools make us more productive, are we sacrificing the joy that made us fall in love with programming? .

Vibe coding is fun, but don't be fooled: it can only get you so far.

New post is out 🔥. "The real threat isn't AI—it's sticking to outdated ways while the industry evolves around you.". As engineering leaders, we can't afford to ignore AI anymore. Our teams are looking for guidance on how to use these tools effectively.

Strengths and weaknesses are two sides of the same coin. As managers, our job isn't to "fix" people but to help them recognize when to dial traits up or down. Just published:.

Controversial take: teams that never argue are often the most dysfunctional ones. Here's why your team should be fighting more.

I've been using this note taking system for a while, and decided to share with you all 📝. Hope you enjoy it!.

"It is not programmers who will be out of work. It will be the people—in every job role—who don’t become AI-assisted programmers.".

Asking LLMs for life advice is modern day astrology.

Controversial one, but here I explain why there’s never been a better moment to be a Junior Developer. I hope you like it.
