Is the traditional code review workflow holding you back? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Have you ever had someone review your pull request, make changes without telling you, and just merge it in? In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, we discuss whether the traditional code review workflow still makes sense in a world where AI tooling lets developers move faster than ever. Aaron shares two real situations where a reviewer fixed and merged code without discussion, and we dig into why the lack of communication is the real problem, not the act of fixing things itself. We
Write better requirements or pay for it later (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Have you ever handed off a feature request with barely any detail and expected the developer to just figure it out? In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, we discuss why writing clear requirements is one of the most valuable things a business can do before development starts. We make the case that even imperfect requirements beat none at all because they determine where the discovery happens, closer to the finish line rather than somewhere in the middle of the country.

Have you ever fixed a failing test by adding a variable to phpunit.xml and moved on, not thinking twice about whether that was actually the right call? In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, we discuss a real pull request disagreement about where environment variables belong and why it actually matters. We draw an important distinction between credentials and workflow configuration in your env file, and why that difference should determine exactly what goes into phpunit.xml and wha
Running AI agents on your production server is the new FTP (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Have you ever let an AI agent run commands on your production server because you were stuck, telling yourself it would be fine? In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, we discuss why giving AI agents access to your production environment is as reckless as the bad old days of FTPing code straight to your server. We make the case that AI agents are non-deterministic and carry no responsibility, which makes them far more dangerous than a developer making a manual mistake on a live serv
