Yay!!! My book “Process Over Magic: Beyond Vibe Coding” is now live on the Pragmatic Programmers site: pragprog.com/titles/ubaidev… I hope this book helps people adopt a workflow that fits their situation. I worked hard to show how different techniques behave in different contexts.

Today I'm remote working from Chiang Mai Nimman market. I'm very much in love with this city and Thailand in general.

@ayuninotayutu mmmh... I'm probably still like that even now. ;)

@ayuninotayutu I was like that his age... just saying.

@ayuninotayutu I love old wooden houses! I'm also enjoying woodworking but ofc I'm not that good.

When joining a new team, AI can help you get up to speed faster. I wrote down some practical suggestions from my personal experience on how to use it during onboarding. Not to replace your teammates, but to make those interactions more effective. @ramtop/ai-assisted-onboarding-5de547520b76" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@ramtop/ai-ass…⁠�

AI assistants are getting better but most teams are not benefiting from it. Every developer must now take architectural responsibility. That shift in mindset, and its practical consequences, is what my book Process Over Magic is about.

@philip_schwarz @pragprog They are currently in production. I hope end of march!

@pragprog @ramtop Hello @ramtop - any idea how long before printed copies are available?

INSIGHT - AI assistants are TOOLS, not vibe-coding buddies. How do the best developers multiply their abilities with AI? It’s not magic. It’s process. Amplify, don't replace your skills. Faster, smarter, safer. Save 40% with code INSIGHT @ramtop

@mariofusco I'm using AI a lot on legacy code. I would say it's the biggest time saver. I still need to check and fix before commit but huge speed up.

I wanted AI to fix annoying bugs, so I could have more time to have fun with green field projects, but since it is not able to work effectively on legacy code, I have to keep fixing bugs myself while leaving AI to write new code, that at the end I will also have to debug.😢

@ThreeUKSupport I'm trying to terminate my broadband subscription but both phone and Livechat ask for my three phone number. But I don't have one!
