Migrating from Go to Rust | corrode Rust Consulting Out of all the migrations I help teams with, Go to Rust is a bit of an outlier. It’s not a question of “is Rust faster?” or “does Rust have types?”, Go already gets you most of the way there. The discussion is mostly about correctness guar…
The Eternal Sloptember I’m calling it now, the adoption of AI agents into software development will be one of the most costly mistakes in the field’s history. Agents cannot program, and it’s taking longer and longer to realize that they can’t. They are a highly sophisticated st...

Extending MySQL with VillageSQL One of the things that made me fall head over heals for Neo4j so many years ago was just how extensible it was. If the database engineering team was busy rebuilding the clustering feature for the t…
The Rise of the Backwards Deployed Engineer | Sagiv Ofek The forward deployed engineer embeds with customers to drive revenue. The backwards deployed engineer embeds inward to eliminate SaaS bloat - and might be the most leveraged role in tech right now.
The tech industry as a grass fire – Writings and rehearsals by Nathan Schneider I have spent a lot of my career trying to envision and build better versions of the tech industry. To my face, people often say that I’m optimistic, though I suspect what they mean is that I’m engaged in an act of futility. I consider this work neither op...
Prompt engineering is dead, but Claude still tries - exe.dev blog Agents have good judgment now. Delegation beats micromanagement.
Quiet in the Zoo | A Danver Braganza Extravaganza A reminder (to myself, mostly) on the importance of stepping away from the agents to make time for reflection

Fork your conversations and rebase your prompts One of the skillsets that the AI phenomenon has quietly boosted is the capability of explaining yourself: putting into words what you actually want, and providing methodologies that can unambiguously verify the implementation against your expectations.
