Autocomplete was never the point. Agentic AI is. It changes where leverage sits, not who’s responsible - and "vibe coding" is often used dismissively to avoid engaging with that shift. failingfast.io/autocomplete-w… #SoftwareEngineering #AgenticAI

Love the playful metaphor from @noctovis of the potential disconnect between dev and UX, as the designers being over on "Figma island" 🤣 #ndclondon

@_josephwoodward I think you're right! Usually too busy sweating to notice anything 😅

@benhall_io Hey Ben, I think I keep seeing you at swimming on Sunday mornings, is that right?

@ShahidDev ?

Aliens were confirmed by govt whistleblowers today This strange code was recovered from their spaceship

I still can't understand why .NET developers insist on having an interface for every single class.

Application Insights - profiling a live Azure Functions app hosted in Kubernetes. Looking for memory leaks in production. Anyone done this? @AzureFunctions #Dotnet #azure

@codeslubber @gwestr @MStrehovsky @shs96c Unit testing is so 2010s 😜

@gwestr @MStrehovsky @shs96c Where's your friend, Greg, cause can't unit test is laying up way short of the green, nevermind the hole..

Stop doing dependency injection

Looks like I pushed a show that's typically around 40 minutes long, over an hour for my guest appearance. Hope it's a good listen and you learning something new, audience!🤪Was great to work with @ecbanks & @Ned1313 @opentelemetry #observability

@packetpushers Was an awesome experience working with @Ned1313 and @ecbanks on this. Thanks for having me on the show guys.

Latest show is out! Day Two Cloud 192: OpenTelemetry – Getting From Visibility To Observability With Ben Hall - packetpushers.net/podcast/day-tw…

@ParryMalm @TrungTPhan Worth doing a job you enjoy enough, with a good work-life balance, to not feel the need to retire early. 🤔

@TrungTPhan Worth noting they contribute 27% on top of salary to your pension. The civil service pension is a legit ticket to early retirement.

The UK Treasury is offering £57,000 (~$71,000) for its Head of Cyber Security. Seems…a little low.

"It's a fallacy to believe that security flaws only exist when development is completed. " Thank you to @clear_bank for sharing one of your security engineers, @TomLingDev with us yesterday at @HomesEngland. Excellent talk and demo of threat modelling to our software community.

@ShahidDev @stevejgordon I tried very hard not to accidentally type that :)

@benhall_io @stevejgordon I read as muslims and was very very confused 😂

I started the day at 6.30, fully dressed. After several baby fluid related incidents, I'm down to a pair of boxers and a single sock by 8am!

Nice setup made me look like a seasoned pro. Even had a clicker! Great hosts, great attendees. Hope to return again.

@ha1fling And with that, having to explain it simply makes you learn it deeply :) I learnt more teaching than I did as a student.

@KevlinHenney @NDC_Conferences Excellent talk, thanks Kevlin. Really liked the refreshing take on non-functional requirements. Any further reading you could recommend on the requirements axes? #ndclondon

About to give my first in-person conference talk of the year, "Refactoring Is Not Just Clickbait", at @NDC_Conferences London.

The familiar glow of #ndclondon. Some great stuff on the agenda. Hope to bump into some familiar faces and meet some new ones!
