Recuerda el flujo: 🟢 Tú, programa los tests de aceptación… 🟢 Pídele al agente de IA que haga la implementación que satisfaga tus tests… 🟢 Revisa el código generado por el agente, e itera. ainativebrujula.substack.com/p/flujo-de-t... #ainative #inteligenciaartificial

Software Engineering Manager’s Interview 101 - get ready for your next interview! sbruhat.gumroad.com/l/EM-intervi... #interview #engineeringManager

Remember the workflow: 🟢 You write the acceptance tests… 🟢 Ask the AI agent to implement the code that makes those tests pass… 🟢 Review the generated code, then iterate. ainativecompass.substack.com/p/workflow-w... #ainative

Me leaving the office for the weekend after: "git push --force"...

No, no experience with this one in my backpack. But I've read quite a lot about it from the Java community here in Bluesky, and would say it's completely reliable. It has even no free tiers, with component libraries... and several big companies appearing as success stories with this tool.

What about vaadin.com ? Something different and quite inusual. Java for frontend web apps.

Any good framework for frontend web applications? Sorry, I'm tired of #reactjs 😅

One more reminder that Slack is a terrible choice for communities, and extorts even nonprofits. Even when it’s one teaching teens to code, for free. Hack Club is moving to Mattermost. They really have no choice. Just a poor taste how Slack demands $50K in a week, no real notice

All the good that TypeScript did to the Node ecosystem, npm is undoing it How can a serious company build on top of this ecosystem that is one npm update away from dependency compromise happening (I am serious: I'd expect more greenfield startups to not go with Node b/c of it)

Tengo que reconocer que flipé bastante la primera vez que vi cómo GitHub Copilot implementó una topología de Kafka Streams en Java solamente con los comentarios puestos en la clase Java. Quedé impresionado. Me dije: 👇🏻

La conexión a internet a través de 5G en mi móvil es extremadamente mala yendo en los trenes #Avril... Diría que pusieron una jaula de Faraday en el techo o algo así... En los AVE normales, los de toda la vida, ni tan mal. ¿Soy sólo yo?

Using current LLMs reminds me of dial-up internet in the 90s. Exciting and useful, but also very frustratingly slow. When we go from being able to measure LLM output in Kbit/s to Mbit/s it's going to be amazing. As the great @dancarlin.bsky.social loves to say "quantity has a quality all its own"

"Pero si a mí lo que me gusta es programar sobre Kafka… por qué voy a usar este agente para que me haga el trabajo que a mi me gusta hacer." ¿Te lo has preguntado alguna vez? ainativebrujula.substack.com/p/flujo-de-t... #ainative #softwaredevelopment

I made some minor tweaks to my Bluesky projects landing page blue.mackuba.eu - added more links to feeds, open source projects, and the "Intro to ATProto" blog post. I need to figure out some better design for this page at some point, but this will have to do for now…

I dream the day when the Jira tickets are created automatically 💭😅

Cuidaos, hablad, de verdad que se os quiere y el mundo sin vosotres es peor para mucha gente, en una medida que no imaginais.

🎧 New Overcommitted episode is live! We dive into the uncomfortable truth that social media platforms optimized for engagement have created systems that can exploit human psychology for profit. What happened and what software engineers can do about it:

I’m actively transitioning into AI-dev with frontend strength (React Native, React.js) plus growing prompt-engineering skills. Seeking mentorship & real‑world AI project experience with top-notch teams. If you know any roles or referrals, I’d love to connect. DM or reply! Résumé- shorturl.at/OavY2

We're researching how software engineers are using MCP servers - interesting use cases, learnings so far, best practices. If you're either using MCP servers or building them, we'd love to hear from you! (Hoping to also highlight interesting uses - assuming you're ok with it!) DMs for Elin open:

Monoliths are not bad thing 👇🏼

How do we turn that unwieldy monolith into a maintainable, scalable system? newsletter.optimistengineer.com/p/decoupling... #techlead #softwareengineering #leadership

I have the feeling that by using #AI agents, we prevent our questions from being discovered by others, and in the same way, we prevent our solutions from being discovered.

Tengo la sensación de que, usando los agentes de #IA, evitamos que nuestras dudas sean descubiertas por otras personas, y de la misma forma evitamos que las soluciones sean descubiertas.

3) Deliver reliably 👉🏼 Optimize the delivery pipeline.

95% of AI pilots crash – engineers pay the price. MIT finds $35‑40B spent, 9/10 deliver zero ROI. Why? Scope creep, costly in‑house models, wrong targets. Win: pick ONE narrow problem, use a proven off‑the‑shelf tool, set a KPI. 👉 techleadmastery.substack.com/p/ai-disaste...

Cuando tenéis que definir objetivos por trimestre, ¿sois estratégicos o tácticos?

2) Own code quality and maintainability 👉🏼 You are accountable for it.

❌ Try to predict the future ✅ Implement simple code → Iterate when you really find the need newsletter.optimistengineer.com #leadership #softwaredevelopment

Aquí, en la estación de #Madrid #Chamartin y acordándome de @andreubuenafuente.com en #futuroimperfecto con el gag sobre #intrenestelar ¿Cuántos años nos va a costar este giro? 😅

🟢 Li & Wang (2023), usando datos de compañías chinas cotizadas, confirman que la innovación tecnológica en IA aumenta la TFP, principalmente a través de reducción de costes, mayor uso de mano de obra cualificada, digitalización y eficiencia en I+D open.substack.com/pub/ainative... #ai #ainative

1) Measure your impact 👉🏼 Make it objective. Pick 3–4 metrics that reflect your scope. Some suggestions: 🟢 Cycle time. 🟢 Number of incidents. 🟢 Percentage of planned technical work delivered.

Se trata de convertir cada departamento en consumidor y prosumidor (bonito palabro) de IA. Algunos ejemplos que veo venir son:

It’s about turning every department into a consumer and prosumer (yes, that’s a word!) of AI. Some examples I foresee:

If you’re a Senior Software Engineer or an early Tech Lead aiming for Staff Engineer/leadership, stop treating growth as a mystery. Combine day-to-day craft with deliberate influence: 🟢 Measure what matters 🟢 Lead by example 🟢 Make others better newsletter.optimistengineer.com/p/the-concre...
