Do Devs give a 💩 about security these days? Code flaws. Countless supply chain attacks. Environments. It's a never ending pita. This last year really opened my eyes.

Is it just me who constantly battles against the test explorer in vscode when working with node and python projects? With code workspaces vs monorepo and the like?

All assignments for Stanford's The Modern Software Developer are now available online.
This is the first comprehensive university course covering how coding LLMs are transforming every stage of the software development life cycle. The assignments are intended to take you from noob to expert in how to use AI to improve your software engineering productivity.
Enjoy!

Microsoft has set a goal to “eliminate every line of C and C++ from Microsoft by 2030.”
What are they going to try to replace that C & C++ code with?
You guessed it. Rust.
And they’re going to use AI to do the “Rust re-write” at an insane speed.
“Our strategy is to combine AI *and* Algorithms to rewrite Microsoft’s largest codebases. Our North Star is “1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code”.
You read that right.
One million lines of code, per engineer, per month.
Pure insanity. This kind of decision making is common among those with a deeply held, delusional faith in the Cult of Rust.
Take battle tested code, and re-write it (without a clear benefit to the end user) at a recklessly rapid rate. Then force others to adopt that rewritten code before it is ready or properly tested.
All while holding a delusional belief that your new Rust code is superior in all ways, and is inherently bug free thanks to the divine nature of Rust.
We learned this from a post by Galen Hunt, Distinguished Engineer at Microsoft Research.

For those who have been loosely following my journey vibe coding a diagramming application, I added theming support to the app and export options. The thing that impressed me the most is that the export options took less than 10 minutes last night, using Copilot.

@peteohanlon Looks good... Looks better than what we use on a certain project...

I've been thinking about my chat with Dan North, we revisited the roots of Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD). What struck me again is how easily we can misunderstand BDD as just another testing tool or automation framework, when it’s something deeper than that.

♥️ well done @adymitruk

On September 5th 2015 I set out to create a company where we could all work in the best way possible. #EventSourcing for everything, no meetings, no management hierarchy, open source everywhere - nothing that we knew was wrong in the industry would be present. It was a fork in the road for me, if this didn't work, I would stop trying and just plan for my retirement as I bounce from different employers and gigs until I had enough in the bank. But nothing prepared me to how successful this self-imposed ultimatum would be! We've had no turn-over in that time because of the vision and environment. We developed #EventModeling as a core way to eliminate all that waste as we set out to do. Sure we needed to accommodate our clients and include some of their processes to work with them, but at the core, we achieved and proved that dropping nearly all that is considered "best practices" in the industry allowed us to get to another level that is unimaginable to those that are not fully involved and are sitting on the side-lines critiquing our ambitions. Years ago, I thought this would be a major milestone - and it is! - but when we realise how much more we can do with this as the foundation for the next 10 years, I didn't bother to make a large party or celebration. This is a thank you to all those that believed in us at @adaptechgroup and at our clients'. I would rather continue to celebrate at each of the steps as we continue into the future. So what does that involve? Well we know that there is Event Modeling tooling around the corner and I'm gathering investors for that as well as putting my own money behind it. There is the Event Modeling book that will be out this year - and I'm glad I waited! There is so much more to share now. Again thank you for all those that directly or indirectly supported me and our dedicated people at Adaptech, it wouldn't be fair to list names here but you know who you are and I love you all. We found the best way to automate information systems. Here is to the next 10 years which will be even more amazing! ❤️

The @EventModeling book will be written this year. I'm glad I didn't write it earlier as there have been so many incredible insights since 2019 when I initially thought it would be needed. Instead, we worked with the community and clients directly on applying it. Now with the feedback and data, a much better book will be available.

It's been a while! Far too busy with work, life, and things...
But do not disturb is on for now.

Here’s a list of some dumb reasons your tests might show green when you should be expecting at least one to be red: buff.ly/vltfwVq

I wish people would stop proposing all of these microservice patterns without applying good design principles.
Sure your code can rollback calls to other apis. But not if that bloody process crashes. Now you have a bigger problem.
Just stop!
