the internal software quality of a code base correlates to the level of emotional intelligence shared among stakeholders. EQ leads to ISQ

name it this or that. extract or inline. move it here or there. it depends. the better you get, the better your taste around 'it depends'. depends on what? values, principles, strategy, and the desired business outcome. learn those and you’ll make the call with more confidence.

remember to avoid applying tactics outside of strategy, practices outside of principles and values. unless you are fuckin around and or dont mind finding out.

NEW POST Will there be source code in the future? To wrestle with this, we have to understand what code is. Unmesh Joshi sees code as having two distinct but intertwined purposes: instructions to a machine and a conceptual model of the problem domain. martinfowler.com/articles/what-…

ok moment of giddiness over. back off the grid. when the going gets rough and all that...

my evil plan to never ever again write bad code, to inspire those around me (human and now agent alike) to always ship high quality software, to form teams that refactor any codebase they touch like midas into software gold is finally coming true

me after drilling all manner of software design and architecture, code quality principle, pattern and best practice goodness into the agents' muscle memory, when i sometimes sit back and watch it work, like

The assumption seems to be that the best use we have for people is eliminating their salaries. I don't think that's the only option. New Still Burning episode with @techgirl1908 feeds.transistor.fm/still-burning

@techgirl1908 I keep thinking of this in terms of garbage collection. and I don't know enough, yet, to either immediately stop doing that or to double down and use it as a go to metaphor

The more I work with agents, the more I'm convinced that "just give it more context" can't be the whole answer. I'm not seeing enough discourse about memory. More specifically, memory design... like what gets stored, what gets retrieved, what gets summarized, what triggers the agent to look things up again. I'll be spending time with @oracledevelopers soon, getting hands-on with agentic memory patterns. Very excited to get into the weeds!

i talked to guy who is shipping production grade software daily with an agentic workflow, and helping companies do the same. he's not reading code anymore, barely even having to approve PRs manually, the AI does it. some people out here living their best AI lives. love to see it.

@myquite like why pay a translation tax every time you read or write or talk about a term or concept.

@refactorfiend It drives me crazy when someone names things in a system for a specific domain and doesn't use the actual domain language. You didn't have to make up a name for it; the industry already has one.

re: naming - can't just "call it whatever", the act of choosing names is really about setting up a whole vocabulary/ dialect/ language/ communication material for your devs, product people, customer support, product support, everybody.
