We keep talking about "AI" as though it's one industry.

I just got back from my 9th Dev World conference.

Most writing about AI coding tools is either too abstract or too operational.

This started with a very simple thought: the solar panel is dead, the lights still work, so surely I can just power them from USB?

Most people assume AI helps individual contributors the most.

You probably have one already.

You know the move: ship fast, punt the “small stuff,” and soothe yourself with a tech-debt ticket.

Wow.

Most places I have worked have had a chapter meeting.

I was asked to collate resources I’ve used while moving from software engineering to engineering leadership (yes, it’s a career change, not a promotion), so I thought I’d share it publicly here for everyone’s benefit.

You’ve been told for years that duplication is bad.

You’re probably seeing more anti‑AI posts lately.

As a former principal engineer and now an engineering manager who coaches others, I’ve noticed — you don’t “learn TypeScript” once.

Last week, I went to GitLab Connect Sydney.

On Thursday, July 24, I went to GitLab Connect at Crown Sydney with two of my team leads.

Disclaimer: Your Voice Matters, Even If It's Different from Mine I’m a native English speaker.

I’ve reached that point in my career where I’m mostly done learning to code.

Working under pressure is an inevitable part of life.

There was a time when I believed that becoming a better developer was all about learning more, knowing more, and mastering new languages.

Today, I’d like to talk a little bit about code patterns.
