My latest YouTube short for the Modern Software Engineering channel, "Does Your Software Development Prioritize Business?": www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRut...

Don't focus on engineering prompts, focus on engineering context instead. "[...] as applications grow more complex, it’s becoming clear that providing complete and structured context to the AI is far more important than any magic wording. blog.langchain.com/the-rise-of-...

I remember Adrian Colyer publishing a post about David Parnas’s work in the context of modern microservice architectures a few years ago. Unfortunately, his blog is no longer online, but thanks to the Wayback Machine, I was able to dig it up. web.archive.org/web/20240424...

Seriously? How awesome is this? Rick Rubin, the legendary producer of artists like Neil Young, U2, Metallica, Adele, System of a Down (and many more), wrote a book with Anthropic on Vibe Coding!

@hollycummins.com 's discussion in the Engineering Culture podcast about developer productivity reminds me a lot of Cal Newport's notion of "seudo productivity" vs "slow productivity" in his newest book (buff.ly/VBBEZBi) Btw, give the podcast episode a listen, it's great:

This is actually one of the best-structured arguments for using feature flags that I've seen in a long time: buff.ly/dgOdKlV Separate deployments (continuously delivering code to production) from releases (switching code "live" for users).

I listened to @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com interview with GitHub's CEO @ashtom.bsky.social today. What amazes me is that GitHub is mostly still a monolithic Ruby on Rails application and that it works so reliably at that scale.

While I'm bullish about LLMs and use them widely myself, this issue is something I've been worried about for a long time. Now, some empirical evidence seems to be emerging about this. arxiv.org/pdf/2506.08872

Synchronous communication in distributed systems is a leaky abstraction. My new article shows how asynchronous design helps in building resilient, decoupled systems. Discover more: www.shapingshifts.com/p/network-co... #SoftwareArchitecture #DistributedSystems

UnConference "Software-Entwicklung und Menschen - Team-Topologies, sozio-technische Systeme, Conway's Law und mehr" Montag 2024-02-26 17:30 Kostenlos! Registrierung: zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Danke an alle, die beim Vortrag von Stefan Toth und mir auf der @OOP Konferenz dabei waren. Wir haben über Herausforderungen im Microservices-Umfeld gesprochen und diskutiert, wie evolutionäre Architektur dabei hilft. 👉 Folien-Download: www.embarc.de/microservice... #oop2024 #OOPMuc

Freue mich riesig auf meinen Vortrag heute um 14:30 auf der OOP gemeinsam mit Stefan Toth. Lasst uns gemeinsam diskutieren, wie evolutionäre Architektur bei modernen Herausforderungen im Microservices-Umfeld hilft. Seid dabei! #oop2024 #OOPMuc

Gleich gehts los! Interessiert an evolutionärer Architektur, aber unsicher, wie ihr beginnen sollt? Trefft mich um 10:40 auf der OOP zum Software Snack am Stand von Embarc & Open Knowledge. Ich habe da was für euch! #oop2024 #OOPMuc #sws2024

Heyheyhey, let's try this Bluesky thing
