AI storm has revealed an opinion that in AI-accelerated product teams, traditional "source of truth" artifacts like Figma, design documents, software models become obsolete because products evolve too quickly, with codebase modified directly and iter...

I bumped into the claim somewhere on LinkedIn and that got me thinking why some people may think so while others consider this a huge overstatement. As I often see, such contradictions emerge because people judge microservices from very different imp...

AI is not one tool. That is the ubiquitous judgment mistake across posts in social networks. AI is a set of very different capabilities, and treating them as one thing is where most confusion starts. Some parts are genuinely useful in engineering. S...

This is the teaser post of the original1 review that is pretty detailed, containing images and diagrams. Beck K., Extreme Programming Explained 1999 Extract The book is only 1/5 about programming and 4/5 about organizational matters. The book cove...

Why learning to build your own ORM is worth it even if you use EF Core or Dapper Most developers meet ORMs the same way they meet electricity, you flip a switch and things work. That’s great, until something gets slow, a query behaves oddly, or you...

In software engineering, work is almost never purely mechanical. The hard part isn’t typing code, it’s discovering constraints, modeling the domain, defining contracts, and making irreversible decisions explicit. When that work is done, TDD / codin...

I prefer the clean code that is more often produced by throwing exceptions. With the happy path uncluttered by error handling, the implicit propagation of errors to appropriate orchestration layers, and the clean separation of concerns. It's aestheti...

The AI publicity landscape is full of either bought or excited adopters' promotion, with a very small part of experienced engineers feedback. As very fairly noted on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7391379938538311680?up...

I will be very quick on this. Consider. Code for business applications is a constant flow of professional decision - product and engineering context bounded - 100% deterministic - conscious and precise, not arbitrary and probabilistic. The ability...

Graphite's New PR Page Tackles the Problem Nobody's Talking About AI is writing more code. Everyone knows this. But here's what people aren't thinking about: if AI writes 4x more code, someone still has to review, test, merge, and deploy all of it...

I know, I know. It is another post about microservices versus monoliths. The debate feels exhausted at this point. Yet every time I start a new project, I find myself weighing the same questions. Not because the answer is unclear, but because the ans...
