Nine unlikely trends shaping software development (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.” Was Mark Twain thinking of software development when he wrote those words? Software progresses in various ways. Mainly, we make a deliberate effort to improve things, and take up opportunities when they present themselves. Sometimes, we tackle a challenge for its own sake, like climbing the mountain “because it’s there.” That is, sometimes we are captivated by the inherent possibility in a
The five important tools for controlling AI costs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We spent the last decade building entire finops departments just to decipher what the cloud bill was saying. Just when we figured out how to stop leaving idle compute instances running, generative AI introduced an infinitely more opaque, faster-moving layer of spend. AI bill shock has spread like a slow moving hurricane across the industry. Aside from the spike in large language model (LLM) costs, the deeper architectural problem is attribution: where exactly is the money going, and exactly what
Tokenmaxxing: The strangest developer productivity metric of all time (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I wonder these days. How did we ever write software without AI? I mean, I know we did. It was possible. But with AI it’s like wearing roller skates and a rocket pack. Naturally, we want to encourage developers to embrace this wondrous power. But just as naturally, our industry has found a way to convolute the whole thing. Instead of a sensible game plan, we have a blanket metric that, by embracing raw token usage as a measure of excellence, gamifies AI use in the worst possible way. Welcome to t
Seven sins of the modern software developer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you ask us in an official setting, our official position is that software engineering norms still apply. Rigorous CI/CD pipelines, elegant architectural patterns, and an unyielding commitment to maintainable code remain the standard. We will use weighty words like “determinism,” “scalability,” “idempotency,” and “domain-driven design.” But behind closed doors, late at night, bathed in the glow of a dark-mode IDE, a different and more sordid reality is exposed. Hunched over the console with a
