Kent Beck on AI‑driven Code Refactoring and Future Jobs
Fragments:GOTO chat with Kent Beck, using AI to help restructure a gnarly codebase, open-source and security, cognitive endurance, Gen Z future with AI, impact of AI on jobs, fumbling AI regulation https://t.co/uTZGA5nWyH
Rethink AI Coding: Length, Tools, and Unpop
Fragments: updated guide on AI coding, video on harness engineering, how long should a function be, the problems of Software Brain and why AI is unpopular https://t.co/7jSOtMhEE8
Structured-Prompt-Driven Development Enables Agentic Programming
NEW POST Thoughtworks internal IT use a workflow for agentic programming called Structured-Prompt-Driven Development (SPDD). @WeiZhang595190 and Jessie Jie Xia describe how this works with a simple example plus details in a github project. https://t.co/6cHnSPWr6L
Reading LLM Code Critical for Enterprise Tech Success
Fragments: 34th Thoughtworks Technology Radar, what happens when developers don't read the LLM's code, DirectFile and tech in large organizations https://t.co/brBXaa3xOc
Tech Roundup: Podcasts, Supply-Chain Breach, Docs Framework
Fragments: two podcasts, a worryingly well-done supply-chain attack, framework for tech documentation, and a particularly thoughtful AI coding experience https://t.co/ABSAxWDYqw
Feed AI Session Insights Back Into Shared Team Artifacts
NEW POST @techygarg finishes his series on reducing the friction in AI-Assisted Development with a practice that feeds back learnings from AI sessions into the team's shared artifacts, turning individual experience into collective improvement. https://t.co/sQ9bkAGlbQ
Write Software with Mechanical Sympathy for Faster Hardware
NEW POST Modern hardware is fast, but software often fails to leverage it. Caer Sanders guides his work with mechanical sympathy. He distills this into principles: predictable memory access, awareness of cache lines, single-writer, natural batching https://t.co/TGXxUv8PoC
AI as Cognitive System 3 Redefines Code Economics
Fragments: three layers of system health, AI as cognitive system 3, what's expensive if agents make coding free, and the future of source code https://t.co/OfzP4x4MJE
A New Mental Model for Harness Engineering
NEW POST Birgitta Böckeler wrote some initial thoughts about Harness Engineering last month. Since then she's been researching more and has now written a thoughtful mental model for understanding the topic. https://t.co/ChuxpRqjHQ
Treat AI Prompt Standards as Versioned Infrastructure
NEW POST The quality of what AI coding assistants produce depends on how well the prompter articulates team standards. @techygarg proposes treating such instructions as infrastructure: versioned, reviewed, and shared artifacts. https://t.co/fqAeB6irlB
ADRs: Concise Decision Logs Documenting Architectural Evolution
NEW POST ADRs are short documents that capture a decision, structured into logs that reveal a history of architectural thinking for a product https://t.co/llbshdFbyf
Beyond Bugs: Observability Shapes Agentic Programming Over GPS
Fragments: code review isn't just catching bugs, what role for observability in agentic programming, what we lose with GPS over maps https://t.co/f2tfkLanN4
Externalize AI Decision Context to Preserve Insight
NEW POST Conversations with AI are ephemeral, decisions made early lose attention as the conversation continues, and disappear entirely with a new session. @techygarg explains how to externalize the decision context into a living document. https://t.co/sZ58ZGWYEQ
Structured AI Conversations Mirror Whiteboarding, Align Designs Early
NEW POST @techygarg uses a structured conversation with an AI agent that mirrors whiteboarding with a human: progressive levels of design alignment, reducing cognitive load, and catching misunderstandings at the cheapest possible moment. https://t.co/axw3dnhjhI
AI's Diverse Uses: From Business to Biological Training
Fragments: how organizations are using AI, reflections from the Utah retreat, agentic engineering patterns, inserting friction for security, training biological neural networks https://t.co/lrzsTVy1gs
