My book was cancelled. But I'm not letting it go. AI is writing our code. But how do you know it works? How do you know it delivers value? The Feedback-Driven Developer is back: now independent, revised and with new chapters coming. tfdd.codecapers.com.au

Shipping isn't just deciding it's "ready." It's actively focusing to what your customer needs and pushing it out. Without feedback you're going the wrong way and you don't even know it. Ch 6 of The Feedback-Driven Developer is out. Discount still on. tfdd.codecapers.com.au

Simple habits like self-review can have a remarkable effect on the quality of your code and the value it delivers. The Feedback-Driven Developer v0.14 is out with a newly revised ch. 5, and discounted while new chapters are released. codecapers.gumroad.com/l/the-feedback…

AI lets you move at light speed, but going fast in the wrong direction is still a waste of time and resources. The Feedback-Driven Developer helps get on the right track so that when you move quickly it really counts. v0.13 out now, still discounted: codecapers.gumroad.com/l/the-feedback…

AI makes it easy to create code. It also makes it easy to create broken code. The real skill: keeping your code working through repeated evolution. The Feedback-Driven Developer can help. v0.12 out now, still discounted as chapters are released. codecapers.gumroad.com/l/the-feedback…

Producing code with AI is easy. Producing value is harder. The Feedback-Driven Developer can help you keep development moving in the right direction, step by step. v0.11 is out! Get a massive discount while chapters are still rolling out. tfdd.codecapers.com.au

I'm speaking at BrisJS on Monday night!

Is it better to wait for feedback? Or get it as you go? @codecapers joined @mattwatsonkc on the Product Driven pod to explain why feedback early & often leads to better apps. → Watch: hubs.la/Q03vvr0z0 → 45% off the MEAP: hubs.la/Q03vvpsy0 — use code PDdavis8

It was really awesome to recently talk with @mattwatsonkc on the Product Driven Podcast about how feedback is at the heart of an effective development process. youtu.be/mgLywlF2uD4?si…

Continuing my series on more effective testing I've got a new post up about data-driven test generation. Capturing data & generating tests is a much faster way to get your code under test than if you were writing code for each of your tests. blog.appsignal.com/2025/03/19/gen…

I've spent a lot of time thinking about how to build & test my distributed synchronizing database. I have a blog post out now talking about some of the work that is going into this. blog.appsignal.com/2025/03/12/bui…

@EvanInTech It was difficult . The reason I postponed my exam was because the practice exams told me (after months of study) that I wasn't ready.

I just took the exam and honestly feel like the practice exams did not prepare me well. I answered over 500 practice questions over 8 different tests and still didn’t recognize many questions. I was able to pass the practice exams with a 90% average, the test still felt brutal.

I officially know how to AWS! I'm now an AWS Certified Developer Associate. It was more difficult than I expected, I had studied for several months and I put the exam off for a month so I could feel more confident. But now I know more about AWS than I will probably ever need 😁
