Okay, so I need your help... I’m building a tool (Lebogo) to help small businesses keep customers coming back... I’ve got 3 free lifetime spots left for early adopters. If you know a barbershop, café, laundromat etc in Joburg — please plug me 🙏🏾

I have a new piece up. It's a bit of a rant, even for me, so buckle in. A lot of "thought leaders" have been making their mortgages lately off of bits on how AI is going to replace software engineers, particularly entry-level engineers. stackoverflow.blog/2024/06/1…

It's easy to generate code, but not so easy to generate good code. Contributor @mipsytipsy makes the case for hiring junior developers and treating your engineering team like a delicate ecosystem, and why GenAI tools can only take so devs far. stackoverflow.blog/2024/06/1…

A common perspective is "my productivity is far more important than our productivity," largely because people have been taught that role success depends on the difference between your perceived skill and the perceived skills of your peers. Role success v. real success.

"This system sucks! We need to rewrite the whole thing!" Is sometimes what dudes say when they really mean, "Complex systems scare and confuse me, and I have a hard time reasoning about systems that I didn't create. Rather than admit my confusion, I'd like to start over please"

In Missouri, a state Senator who’s running for governor fired up a flamethrower and lit a bunch of boxes on fire. But let me change the subject. I had a bully in middle school. Maybe you can relate. Link: armoxon.substack.com/p/youve…

First mentor session with my @wethinkcode group this week. We got to talk about pros and cons of async and multi-threaded code, reasoning and debugging your code, and how to locate a problem when you don't know where to start.
