AI is incredibly fast at generating code, but its output is fundamentally non-deterministic. The hardest part of software engineering is exploring the problem, building a shared understanding, and clearly communicating what we actually want a system to do. 🧵 1/7

As artificial intelligence continues its disruption of the tech industry, the future of work for developers is shifting from writing implementation details to becoming "explorers of problems". ATDD IS the next generation of programming language. 📽️ Watch now ➡️ youtu.be/hlxeiSzde5A

Software engineers are at the forefront of the disruptive change brought by agentic AI. While AI changes our work, it also refocuses us on our most important role. Tonight I’ll be discussing why ATDD is the strongest candidate for the next generation of programming language.

Interdisciplinary alert: It would be sweet if we could get the “flip side of the coin” interview from a genomics researcher who has to, say, design a cursor atop of mind boggling gobs of data tailored to a specific outcome like mice w/ 3 eyes or galbladder something @modernswe.bsky.social

Teaching people the skills they need to thrive, particularly in our currently turbulent industry, is our mission. So thank you to Francisco, and to anybody else enjoying, sharing and learning from us at Continuous Delivery & Modern Software Engineering! 🙏

When using AI agents to build software, how do you actually prove we can trust their output without spending all our time manually reviewing thousands of lines of generated code? What steps do you take?

Not sure whether your software engineering is good enough and you are worried that your AI code produces code that is slow to run, insecure, and not fit for purpose… just a pile of slop? 👇

If you have an exceptionally strong, automated CI pipeline with TDD and great test coverage, why are we still relying on asynchronous, manual gatekeeping instead of practising true continuous integration directly on the trunk? 🤔

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

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 ➡️

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?
