Ah, Martin Fowler strikes again with his latest installment of "Words, Words, and More Words" 🤯. This time, he treats us to an endless stream of #buzzwords and self-promotion, while somehow managing to turn a conversation with Kent Beck into a 30-minute #snoozefest 💤. Apparently, #AI is the new black, but Fowler's still wearing last season's #jargon. 👔🔄

Re: Emily Bache on Ward Cunningham’s Fearless Refactoring
When I was a younger developer, I thought I knew how to make code better by, as the kids would say today, following vibes. Much later, a coworker gave me a copy of Martin Fowler's Refactoring. I regret how long I put off reading it. Even later, I read Sandi Metz's 99 Bottles of OOP and learned just how safe refactoring could be. Fearless refactoring is a skill that must be learned, and it is almost a superpower! […]https://kerrick.blog/posts/2025/re-emily-bache-on-ward-cunninghams-fearless-refactoring/

🤔 Martin Fowler, the sage of *everything*, takes a break from his endless self-promotion to bestow upon us some "scattered" musings on LLMs—because who wouldn't want a vacation reading list of incoherent buzzwords? 🏝️ Meanwhile, the rest of us mere mortals will continue to decipher his cryptic Thoughtleader™ wisdom, one acronym at a time. 🙄

Martin Fowler on “Expert Generalists”
For a while, I kept asking myself: What’s my technical profile, really?
I’m not a specialist in one narrow field. But I go deeper in several areas than a typical generalist. So … is that good or bad? Is that a strength – or a flaw, because I’m not “deep enough” in one single thing?

https://dev.to/actitime/5-tips-on-how-to-measure-and-maximize-developer-productivity-1bb3 - a great list of how to /NOT/ measure #developer #productivity. "In 2003, #MartinFowler admitted that measuring developer productivity is nearly impossible and false measures only make things worse." Nice post Anastasia.
