Geek, agilista, blogger, codefella, serial reader. In the daylight - I navigate & lead software engineering. #lean #design #aws #elixir #analytics. I speak here for myself only.
That's the second (& final) post in the mini-series. The prior one can be found here. Where are we right now? I've explained why the "depth" of Gen AI usage matters. And I've already covered two of the total three obstacles on...

By mid-2025, it's pretty clear - LLMs are here to stay, whether we like it or not. Yes, there are multiple scenarios where their applicability is still at least questionable, but Gen AI has anchored in software development for good. How so? It shines in scenarios with formal...
There's one thing about (professional) communication that I find hilarious. Over the last 15+ years (until approx. 2023), the importance of writing (as a skill) in software engineering craft has gradually declined. I've written about that already - https://no-kill-switch.ghost.io/generation-of-illiterate-developers/. It's...
There have been tons of books and articles written on how to be a decent engineering leader. Various authors have been dissecting the role into pieces and atoms, trying to pinpoint the true essence of success in this field. I'm dedicating this blog post to one of such...
