  1. The new 10x Engineer with AI

    The idea of the “10x engineer” has always been a bit controversial. Some people see it as a myth. Some people see it as a harmful label that creates hero culture. Some people have worked with engineers who clearly create much more impact than others, and believe the idea is real. I sit somewhere in the middle. I don’t think a 10x engineer means someone who writes 10x more code than everyone else. That version of the idea was never useful to me. Writing more code is not the same as […]

  6. Processes like methodologies, CI/CD, and dependency tooling don’t just shape how code gets written. They quietly shape what code gets written — often long before anyone notices.

  11. System modeling is a way of thinking, not just diagrams.

    Writing things down forces you to re-evaluate assumptions and surface missing pieces before they harden into code.

  12. I’m not anti-cloud, anti-AI, or anti-modern tooling.
    I am anti-unexamined defaults.

    Every abstraction optimizes for something.
    Cost, scale, speed, control, ownership, responsibility.
    If you don’t know what a system optimizes for, you are probably paying for it somewhere else.

    Skepticism is not negativity.
    It’s how engineers stay employed.
