Announcing CodeLiftSleep's Architecture Lab, a YouTube Channel dedicated to helping developers leveling up their architecture and fitness. The body doesn't operate in a vacuum, and I am a firm believer that to be your best mentally, you need to be at your best physically as well. Every episode will contain Software Architecture topics as well as an evidence-based Fitness tip to support you physically on your journey as well. The first episode in The Modern Architect's Career Playbook Series is "You're Already an Architect". Check it out and let me know what you think: youtu.be/SCCA-9dXB0U @ManningBooks @ManningMEAP #SoftwareArchitecture #SystemDesign #Fitness

the engineers being sought after now are not the same ones from 3 years ago. before, if you could grind leetcode and had a rough handle on system design, you were basically set. leetcode is irrelevant now. here is what actually matters: - knowing system design fundamentals so your agent can't bullshit you - being an exceptional PR reviewer. reviewing is harder than writing net new code - building deep business context so you can evaluate plans produced by agents indexing on taste, deep system design, and curiosity has never been more important in engineering

Q: How are job postings for software engineers rising rapidly despite AI agents automating coding? A: Because there’s far more code to manage than ever before. We’re already seeing a 14x YoY increase in GitHub commits, and it’s accelerating. AI has dramatically lowered the cost of writing code, so it’s now being used across far more businesses, applications, and use cases. We’re at the beginning of a massive productivity boom driven by the proliferation of bespoke software throughout the entire economy. Coding has been AI’s breakout use case this year. The fact that it’s increased demand for software engineers — rather than decreased it — should call into question the entire “AI will cause mass job loss” narrative.

Best practices only get you so far. Architecture decisions usually live in the gray areas. If you want sharper instincts around tradeoffs, system design, modernization, and distributed architecture, gaining that foundation is crucial. These Manning books are a strong place to start (links in the thread): • Grokking Software Architecture by @codeliftsleep • Kafka for Architects by Katya Gorshkova • Architecture Modernization by Nick Tune and @jgperrin • Microservices Patterns, Second Edition by @crichardson All 50% off in our Memorial Day sale. If you prefer access to everything, Manning Online is 20% off through Monday too. liveProjects and liveVideos are still on sale for $10 too. Find everything at hubs.la/Q04hHYx60

Exactly why my book exists and exactly what it helps with. Teaching fundamentals so that AI can be a force multiplier for devs a instead of a chaos multiplier. It seems the tide is starting to turn and people are realizing fundamentals are more important not less. Currently the best selling book at @ManningBooks

“85% of tech employers still report a historic shortage of core engineering talent.” seems like with all these AI tools people stopped focusing on fundamentals and now the gap is showing. maybe the issue isn’t just the market after all
aditya@adxtyahq

C++ is not for freshers, core ML is not for freshers, DevOps is not for freshers, Web3 is not for freshers and now even web dev is apparently not for freshers. Every “entry level” role somehow needs 2-3 years of experience already. What exactly do companies want people to start with anymore? The market genuinely felt more accessible before AI turned every hiring expectation insane.

@PsudoMike As an engineer I'm not sure that would be a "promotion". Most places that means a very minor salary bump but adding tons of stress, much longer hours and endless meetings all day long. No thanks.

Promoting your best engineer to manager loses you two people in one quarter. You get a worse manager. You lose the engineer who shipped most. Then HR asks why velocity dropped.

I'm so humbled and grateful for all of you who have propelled my book to the #1 spot on Manning's Bestseller list. Ahead of every AI and LLM book. Slightly shocked, but I believe the tide is starting to turn and people are realizing fundamental software architecture knowledge is what unlocks AI, not the other way around! And finally, a huge thank you to @ManningBooks @ManningMEAP who have been amazing to work with from the beginning!

@davee_ola Insane pressure, constant cuts, deadlines that have you working around the clock... Not hard to understand why.

Game development feels like the childhood dream many software engineers eventually pivot away from. I wonder why.

@PsudoMike Give a man a fish, feed them for a day... Teach a man to fish, feed them for a lifetime... I think I've heard that saying before somewhere... 😏

Junior devs don't need you to have all the answers. They need you to show them how to find the answers. That shift took me a while to make as a lead.

Just so it's clear. I don't talk about fitness lightly, it's part of who I am and every bit as important as the "Code" part of me. 10 years ago I qualified for powerlifting competitions with elite lifts for my weight class. Never interested me, I was only about pushing myself further each day. No longer at that level, but make no mistake, this Beast still roars 😏

"Software architecture" has a reputation for being intimidating. But if you build software, you're likely already making architectural decisions. Just without the label. In Grokking Software Architecture, @codeliftsleep cuts through the jargon to help you think more clearly about tradeoffs, design decisions, and what makes systems hold up over time. He goes deeper here: hubs.la/Q04hnZNb0

@ManningBooks There seems to be a growing realization that these fundamentals matter more with AI, not less. With fundamentals and AI, you are a force multiplier. Without them and AI, you are a chaos multiplier. I sincerely hope more people begin to focus on fundamentals first, then AI.

Retries without backoff will take down your own service before the downstream one recovers. Learned this the hard way. Thundering herd at 3am, everyone retrying at the same interval, hammering a service that was already struggling. Add jitter. Back off exponentially. Give the system room to breathe.

If it seems ridiculous to try and become great at basketball by playing NBA 2K6 on XBox, why would becoming great at software engineering be any different? It doesn't need to be this way. Learn fundamentals first. Always. @ManningBooks @ManningMEAP
