Why I dropped PRDs for ShapeUp — Luke Swithenbank Why I dropped spec-driven development for ShapeUp, and how splitting decision clarity in two changed how we ship.
Justin Higgins — jchigg ~ dev Software engineer, 20 years in regulated enterprise. Building at the seam between AI-assisted engineering and how that work gets recognized.
The Internet is the most stable home I have The older I get the more I've taken note of what's stayed consistent in my life and I gotta say it ain't much. Accompanying this thought was "How have I stayed consistent for others as time moves forward?" and I gotta say I haven't.
Message Queues and Brokers Help With Temporal Decoupling One of the more common reactions I hear when engineers first encounter a message broker in a service-to-service communication context is that it feels like overengineering. Why introduce Kafka or RabbitMQ when a plain HTTP call does the same job with less...

The Axis That Made the Chips The Netherlands built its first computer in Amsterdam in 1952, moved the thinking to Eindhoven, and produced ASML. That line is history. It is also a blueprint.
Discovery vs Tokenmaxxing Most current AI coding tools are steering users into tokenmaxxing and re-generating software from scratch, in complete ignorance of the vast amounts of publicly available, human-validated software that can be combined and modded in powerful ways to addres...

Code review assumes an author Code review assumes the person who opened the PR understands the code. Agentic development breaks that assumption. A look at why, not a fix.
Unblocked — Martín Granados García How Claude Code unstuck a stale Swift side project, porting Next Train to the web in about an hour, and what two weeks of vibecoding taught me about AI as a creativity unblocker.

Every byte matters I have spent a large portion of my career working in Java. In that time, you get used to huge classes. New functionality? Just add a new method and field to the class. The cost of each new field is rarely considered. Performance is often considered from a...
I don't believe in big decisions Big decisions are a myth. They are a long chain of small choices, and the skill is making your mistakes cheap rather than rare.
What actually runs well on a 16 GB MacBook — Prasad Khake Honest local-LLM benchmarks on a base M3, 16 GB — tokens/sec, peak RAM, and exactly where it hits the wall. The numbers nobody publishes because they run on H100s.
More time to think I’m finding myself thinking longer about the code I write and the features that get developed, than I did before the agentic coding era.

Story Points: Explicit, Honest, Predictable. Already in Use. – Daniil Bastrich Every time a software estimate is inflated to absorb uncertainty and daily overhead, it stops measuring actual time and turns into a messy abstraction. Once your "hours" and "days" become a proxy for effort rather than the clock, you are already using Sto...
Niri is not for me After a year of using Niri, I’m probably going back to Sway - here is why. Out of sight, out of mind When you open four new terminal windows on Niri, you quite literally don’t see the consequences. If you leave those windows at their default sizes (half s...
