Three pieces on engineering once code is cheap to produce.
- Beyond Clean Code Dogma - Why Your Engineering Team Should Obsess Over the Delivery Trinity Instead
Obsessing over clean code dogma can actually slow your team down. Here's what to focus on instead.
- Code Review in the Age of AI-Generated PRs
We now generate code faster than we can reliably review it. Practical principles for reviewing AI-generated pull requests without slowing your team down.
- From keyboard to thought: what happens to us when the interface disappears?
We got hooked on social media. AI might hook us even deeper, by doing things for us rather than showing us things. So what happens to human consciousness when the line between us and the machine starts to blur?

- How I Run a Team of Bots
I stopped treating AI as one chat window and started treating it like a small team, with lanes, handoffs and a review gate. Here's how that works day to day, and what still needs me.
