Here I explore how AI is reshaping software development, share insights from
building systems at scale, and dive into the evolving landscape of engineering
leadership.
Whether you’re navigating the shift from IC to management, adapting to
AI-powered development workflows, or just curious about the future of tech,
you’ll find practical insights and honest perspectives here.
Anywhere a human gave input to push an output closer to what they actually wanted, that interaction contains a precise description of their standards. The trick is to stop letting it evaporate.
Every task you delegate to an agent is a primitive. Primitives combine. The real value is not the task you just completed, it is the capability you just added to every future workflow.
The engineering backlog is a tax on organizational creativity. Give everyone—sales, CS, product, design—the same tools engineers have, in a safe sandbox, and watch what emerges.
The DORA 2026 report shows incidents rising sharply alongside AI-driven throughput gains. The dip is not turbulence to endure. It is a diagnostic about which systems in your organization need redesign.
Operating at exponential pace is not about working harder. It is about restructuring how work flows: parallel streams, shallow planning, closed loops, and agents doing the building.
