Last week, Thoughtworks ran a second Future of Software Development Retreat, this time in Europe. As with the previous event, I’ll be sharing some fragmentary thoughts on this.

"Why", I ruminate, "should someone who understands the state of play give Apple credit for doing ...

AI gets good at anything with an answer key. Your career is everything that doesn't have one.

Feedback from an expert is how you learn taste. Your code doesn't matter until it's shipped.

In the past few years, AI has woven itself into nearly every corner of how we work, communicate, and make decisions. Hiring algorithms screen (and discard) resumes before a human ever reads them.

Bigger part is because I'm finding that "how-to" content is easy to slop with a robot, so I'd rather write...

A very strange Pi issue sent me down a rabbit hole over the last two days. The short version is that newer Claude models sometimes call Pi’s edit tool with extra, invented fields in the nested edits[] array. And not Haiku or some small model: Opus 4.8.

I sat across from Michael Levy at a room full of healthcare and technology leaders recently.
