Satisfaction is Futile
I can ship 10x more than I could a year ago. So why am I less satisfied than I've ever been?
The Race to Nowhere
I'm a software engineer who uses AI every day. The productivity is intoxicating โ and so is the anxiety. Here's what the race to ship more, build faster, and never stop is doing to us, and why the craft of engineering isn't going anywhere.
AI and the Problem of Responsibility Laundering
I use AI daily. It makes me a better engineer. But there's a growing pattern in our industry where developers cite AI as the source of their solutions instead of owning them. This behavior has a name: responsibility laundering. And it needs to stop.
My Story
I didn't grow up with a computer of my ownโI got scraps of time at relatives' houses and eventually a borrowed laptop in high school. This is the path I took from there to where I am now, working with Azure and leading development teams.
