Is AI actually making your team more productive, or is it just building a "complexity bomb" much faster? Everyone is talking about how AI might replace software engineers, but they are missing the most critical point... 🧵 1/10

The rise of ai in software development actually makes REAL software engineering more critical than ever. While tools like GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and Cursor make ai code generation cheap, they don’t solve the real bottlenecks. Video now on @modernswe.bsky.social ➡️ youtu.be/XDNXLdwq114

When you pass from five PRs a day to 500 because of AI assistance, and even the AI struggles to merge, isn't it time we embrace the different way of delivering to production that doesn't require pull requests?

You’ve invested in the tooling. You’ve invested in the people. You’ve adopted Continuous Delivery practices. So why are releases still stressful, bottlenecks still appearing, and teams still struggling to deliver with real autonomy? 🧵 1/5

What is the fundamental measure of quality in software? It isn't speed, and it isn't security. Those things are important, but the absolute fundamental measure of quality in our industry is our ability to change the software. Everything else is secondary. 🧵 1/5

Job hunting as a developer is a nightmare, right? Tell me your stories of navigating the recruitment process as a dev looking for a job, and if you've been in the game for a while, tell me how it's changed lately (I want to use these stories on the Modern Software Engineering channel)

Fancy sharing your recent experiences with 250,000+ software engineers? At Modern Software Engineering, we are all about helping techies be the best they can be by sharing advice, knowledge and learned experience as far and wide as possible. 👇

There is no single 'right' answer to a software problem, only different sequences that lead to success. If we accept that, how do we change our code review process to focus more on adaptability rather than just checking if the code matches our personal preferences?

I've started a new series on the @modernswe.bsky.social channel called 'AI Briefings'. Interviewing developers using AI in their projects in order for us all to share knowledge and experience in these unprecedented times! The first episode is available now ➡️

What’s the one engineering practice your team claims to value… but consistently avoids when under pressure?

I worked on an XP team once where we genuinely had 100% test coverage. It was awesome, we could make changes so fast, and yes we still had the occasional live defect

I updated my personal site! I've been wanting to give it a "proper" design overhaul for years, but the time investment needed meant that I kept putting it off. Thanks to Claude, and to having a bit more "free" time right now, I finally did it! Take a look: trishagee.com

Every software team will eventually face a heart-stopping mistake, whether it is a developer accidentally deleting live data during a migration or a junior ops engineer unplugging a production server to use a vacuum cleaner... 😬

Nice analysis by @kevlin.bsky.social about being a human using ai coding tools. His focus on the engineering and general principles rather the day-to-day tactics. youtu.be/vpYJMr1pJRY?...

If you had to deploy a single line of code to production right now, how much of that process is automated and how much relies on 'hoping' nothing breaks?

Why "bad things" happening is actually the best chance for a development team to learn. This is the story of how a costly mistake taught me a BIG lesson about team culture in software engineering. 📽️ Available on @modernswe.bsky.social ➡️ youtu.be/Q0gxen_uXlw

AI is the ultimate amplifier. If your org has Taylorists as senior leaders, you're in for a tough ride and I emphasise

Is AI actually dragging our industry 20 years backwards? We are currently in a Gen AI hype bubble, and it is bringing out the absolute worst impulses in engineering management. 🧵 1/7

AI is helping us generate code faster than ever, but how do you ensure you aren't just deploying bugs at record speed? That is exactly why Continuous Delivery remains the state of the art for software development, providing the essential safety net your team needs. 🧵 1/6

People approach a legacy rewrite like they’re trying to swap an aeroplane engine mid-flight while standing on the wing. It’s madness. Why aren’t we talking more about diverting the flow at the aggregator level to prove the new path works before we touch a single line of the old mess?

I once consulted for a company that had a special "emergency release" process that bypassed all automated testing so they could deploy in under an hour. This is INSANE. 👇
