Cyclomatic complexity, method length, naming conventions: every one of those metrics was a workaround for human cognitive limits. Agents don't have those limits. So what survives, and what gets renegotiated? @docondev shares reflections on craft: link.testdouble.com/fdff50

PC shift: ~10 years. Web shift: ~5 years. Agentic coding: 2-3, possibly less. The first two expanded the profession. This one compresses it. @docondev shares thoughts on the pattern, and where the time actually goes: link.testdouble.com/aafa83

AI changed the cost structure of software. Outputs may be cheap, but outcomes are still valuable. @dmosher says leverage has moved to the harness: lint rules, types, tests, ADRs, feedback loops. link.testdouble.com/ecfcc5

Code coverage tells you a line ran. Mutation testing tells you whether your tests would notice if it stopped working. With agent-generated code, that distinction matters more than ever. @neall shows how Stryker keeps coding agents honest: link.testdouble.com/d689d0

Stuck on a tough challenge? ➡️ Debugging a gnarly codebase? ➡️ Wondering whether to do a rewrite or refactor your legacy system? ➡️ Evaluating if your product idea is solving the right problem? We've got you covered: free, no strings attached office hours link.testdouble.com/58w

When a wide range of things aren't working or didn't scale effectively, you hit trade off decisions. To make an effective business case for budgeting you need to ensure you're advocating for the right things. Our pragmatic and actionable assessments help you do just that.

Talk to someone else who gets it. We offer free office hours to talk about challenging problems. Pair with an experienced software developer or product manager who will ask you curious questions to help get you unstuck.

The hidden math of team scaling: every new developer doesn't just add capacity—they add communication complexity, onboarding overhead, and code review bottlenecks. Make sure you're solving the right problem first.

The latest Code with Jason Podcast is out! In this one I talk with Todd Kaufman, CEO and Founder of Test Double. Enjoy! codewithjason.com/podcast/181100…

TFW nothing works, everyone is frustrated with everything, and you don't know what to fix or where to start. Our technical and product assessments uncover root causes and prioritize real fixes we can help you with, not slide deck solutions. Give us a holler to find out more.

Scaling engineering without scaling problems. It's common to equate scaling with churning out features. Instead understand the human element behind blockers. Iterative improvements compound instead of problems for better technical and business outcomes. link.testdouble.com/1751ee

Being a founder is hard—getting to a validated MVP as a non-technical founder is confounding. Find out how we helped a physical therapy startup iteratively test and learn: - idea validation - feature discovery & prioritization - efficient development link.testdouble.com/ddc264

"100% test coverage does not equal no bugs." Mature frontend teams combine: ✓ Automated checks for known behaviors ✓ Manual exploration for discovery ✓ Business-critical E2E coverage ✓ Fast unit tests for iteration It's about confidence, not metrics. link.testdouble.com/6b7856

Software consulting is like an experience accelerator. Encounter a variety of interesting challenges, codebases and projects, plus work with some of the best teams in tech. Find out more about what it's like to work as a consultant at Test Double. link.testdouble.com/5befdd

And if you do live in the time zone, it's just as frustrating because you're trying to start your day right.

There's something darkly funny about planning your workday around a time zone you don't live in (that 9 am PT changeover). Nobody's making eye contact in this digital line running prompts, and half of us are here at extremely inconvenient local hours.

Kyle Adams is speaking tonight at IndyPy. 💚 He will dive into Pydantic: - getting data in to and out of models - using advanced features to simplify complex data - how Pydantic has become a foundation for everything from database access to AI meetup.com/indypy/events/…
