My book on Functional Kotlin is now 50% off with SAVE50 coupon lnkd.in/etQRfGqa Also ChatGPT agrees that's the best book to learn about full application functional architecture in the JVM!

The superpower of Team Topologies lies in providing a vocabulary for talking about team structures and interactions. Its Achilles' heel is being opinionated on exclusive code ownership at team level, where shared product codebase ownership is also a valid heuristic #TEAMTOPOLOGIES #FEATURETEAMS

================================ More on Team Topologies Vs Feature Teams ================================ In large enough tech orgs, it's common for software sharing & reuse to employ both approaches across different parts of the codebase: continue...

Vibe coding and Chat-oriented programming (CHOP) or more in general AI-assisted coding have the potential to rewrite the way we do professional software development This should not mean we lose all the lessons already learned...

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.

Each AI-assisted coding style has different advantages, overcomes different existing bottlenecks, while revealing the next bottleneck. ... continue #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #GenerativeAI #FutureofTech #FutureofWork #PromptEngineering #LLM #AICoding #AIAssistedCoding #VibeCoding

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 A list of heuristics to deal with insubordinate agents: www.linkedin.com/posts/lucami...

I have recently completed this side-project: A calm (even boring?) forum that drives Meaningful online Conversations, not views or likes ============================ => www.wise-words.online ============================ With an export function to extract the conclusions for your team's decision log.

====================== AI-ASSISTED CODING ADOPTION STRATEGY === For organisations === The big AI players now speak more to markets and investors than engineers and technicians. Their certifications are often promotional, rather than real education and training. ... (continue)

Agile has always been about stepping out of your comfort zone crossing the valley of uncertainty/unknows to discover what's needed to succeed in your complex endeavour Many have been fooled by misunderstandings & the snake oil salesmen's promise of safety, certainty, predictability, proven recipes

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

When my AI coding assistant falls into a rabbit hole, what usually works is => PROVIDING RELEVANT LOGS typically from the sub-system/component where things hit the wall. Why doesn't my dumb AI assistant ask for it? #AIAssistedCoding #LLM #GenerativeAI #AI #AICoding #VibeCoding #GenieGoneCrazy

Even in the face of exponential change, there are ways to find a method in all this madness. Ways to find opportunities from the unexpected. => leanpub.com/theforgotten...

I find myself doing what I was doing when pairing with junior devs - telling them to list first what they intend to do, and then proceed one small step at the time after clarifying what changes they intend to do and how - but now I do it with the LLMs instead.

In politics, activism, online, persuading & winning the argument overshadows the pursuit of deeper understanding. Take the recent parliamentary Assisted Dying Bill debate: opposition centred on the risk of mistakes when allowing terminally ill patients the right to a peaceful dignified death.

Inspired by Karl J. Lieberherr's book 'Adaptive Object-Oriented Software' (1995), where he builds on his work on the 'Law of Demeter' (Ian Holland, Karl J. Lieberherr, Arthur J. Riel; 1987) to search for ways to encapsulate objects graph and their traversal ...

We sold Agile reputation

‪ Accountability & Commitment (as commonly understood and implemented) are based on fixed obligations underpinned by retributive actions when things go wrong. When developing innovative/advanced/complex products/services that cannot work. ‪

The retrocomputing design of this year's @accuconf.bsky.social bags & t-shirts reminds me of how far we've come since the PC revolution, how many innovations and tech revolutions we experienced Enough to learn new effective ways to navigate uncharted waters, embrace change, face the unexpected

Can you recall any challenging Project, Software development initiative, or significant piece of work that encountered Intractable Problems or Elusive Opportunities? - How did they manifest themselves? - What impact did they have? - How were they addressed or navigated? #ComplexityThinking

In a few days, I will be going back to and talking at the @accuconf.bsky.social Conference about - A NEW PHILOSOPHY OF WORK, MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP - for formal or informal, current or aspiring leaders and smart senior team members => accuconference.org/2025/session...
