Know the problem you are solving.
Make your work visible.
Work together.
Create simple things in small steps.
Be meticulous about composition.
Validate before, during, and after.
Release ridiculously often.
Automation over documentation.

Hey @lyft
Your driver ran out of gas and left me alone in a hot car on the side of a busy highway for over 30 minutes. Your support system did not help at the time and refunded me less than half the ride.
You lost a lifetime customer and advocate. Hope it was worth it.

PC shift: ~10 years.
Web shift: ~5 years.
Agentic coding: 2-3, possibly less.
The first two expanded the profession. This one compresses it. @docondev shares thoughts on the pattern, and where the time actually goes: link.testdouble.com/aafa83

Cyclomatic complexity, method length, naming conventions: every one of those metrics was a workaround for human cognitive limits. Agents don't have those limits. So what survives, and what gets renegotiated? @docondev shares reflections on craft:

Every abstraction we've built since assembly was a subsidy paid to human cognition, funded by hardware. Take humans out of the inner loop and the rationale weakens.
@docondev shares a prediction about what languages and frameworks look like next:

You get what you celebrate.
You also get what you let slide.

Not every story needs to be delivered.
Not every feature needs to be built.
Solving the right problem matters more than completing the backlog.

No trust, no candor.
No candor, no clarity.
No clarity, no progress.
Start with psychological safety.

Progress compounds when steps stay small.

Your architecture is what you’ve implemented - not what you label it, not what the autocrat of architecture put on paper, not what the magistrate of methods mandated, but whatever was actually done in the code.
The behaviors you promote set expectations.
The behaviors you ignore set the culture.

Empowerment isn’t about gathering opinions before deciding.
It’s about giving the team the authority to decide for themselves.

Waiting to deliver means waiting to learn.
And the longer you wait, the bigger the risk.

Obsess less over points per sprint. Look at flow instead.
