Gergely Orosz discusses how the economics of introducing and paying off tech debt have changed dramatically, questioning how much tech debt still matters in the AI era for software engineering teams.
A software engineer offers practical career advice to junior developers, urging them to ignore outdated ZIRP-era guidance, be pragmatic and helpful, and engage with AI tools without abandoning their own judgement in the LLM era.
A staff engineer's playbook on finding high-impact problems: absorb problems rather than requests, wait for recurring patterns, find the common shape, and pressure-test before building — best suited to bottom-up teams with roadmap influence.
A Warp essay argues that agentic engineering has split into 'product engineering' (humans ensuring quality and usefulness) and 'factory engineering' (deploying and optimizing agent swarms), and discusses the challenges and inevitable shift toward 'software factories' beyond prompt-driven development.
A reflection on software engineering emphasizing product judgment over code typing, based on experience at VS Code and a conversation with Kent C. Dodds about AI's role in product engineering.
The article advocates for postmortem practices that prioritize actionable changes over detailed explanations to prevent future incidents in tech organizations.
