I've built systems for a decade, but a year rebuilding search forced me to refine my approach.   It’s not that core principles are wrong, it's that their application in a complex, user-facing domain is non-obvious. 5 reframings that were critical to our success. 🧵

Your LLM-as-a-Judge system has a secret: It's biased. And it's silently killing your product while your dashboards are green. Here are the 5 biases you need to fix *now* if you want to build AI you can trust. 🧵 #LLM #AI #Evaluation

It’s time to look into functional programming with „Getting Clojure: Build Your Functional Skills One Idea at a Time“ by Russ Olsen. What’s your functional programming gem that makes you a better generalist? #functionalprogramming #clojure #architecture #cleancode

I've written a full guide with code examples and the 4 core principles for writing AI-ready Python tests. It's the playbook for harnessing AI speed without sacrificing quality. Read it here: www.sebastiansigl.com/blog/type-sa... #Python #Testing #AI #SoftwareQuality

The AI Productivity Paradox is real. Devs are 55% faster with tools like Copilot. But new 2025 research shows code duplication is up 8x and refactoring is down 40%. We're shipping faster, but are we building legacy code from day one? A thread on how to fix it. 🧵

🔥The uncomfortable truth for many tech companies: your hiring process is stuck in the past. While you're testing for textbook data structures, the real world demands skill in guiding AI, reviewing its output, and integrating it effectively. #CodingInterview #Tech #HiringNow

Is your AI coding assistant just a fancy autocomplete? 🤔 We're on the cusp of something bigger: Agentic Coding. This isn't just about AI suggesting code, but autonomously tackling complex development tasks. #AgenticCoding #AI #DevTools 👇1/6

My take: LLMs won't overhaul how we write software, but they'll definitely boost areas like no-code, empowering non-engineers. Pink glasses on: the tedious stuff gets easier to automate! 🚀 #AI #SoftwareDevelopment #LowCode

Microsoft is open sourcing Copilot for VS Code (Satya Nadella just announced this on BUILD) Just like the VS Code open sourcing, this is counter-intuitive on why: now MUCH easier for startups to create “improved clones” of Copilot BUT it makes VS Code more dominant: (cont’d)

It's fantastic to see TDD gaining traction, especially with LLMs transforming code generation. The ability of TDD to provide a clear specification and immediate verification for AI-assisted development is amazing. Code quality is up, and feedback loops are tight. #SoftwareEngineering #TDD #LLM
