This week, I took a detour with a different kind of productivity and share highlights from two must-read articles on AI-era software development.

  • My "brain sabbatical": a strategy day for deep focus, ideation, and conference abstract brainstorming.
  • Upcoming events:
  • "Domain Knowledge Is the Leverage" by Beshr Kayali Reinholdsson: practices like TDD and DDD are more relevant than ever in the AI coding era
    • Spec-driven development: specs as living decision documents, not page-count exercises
    • Tests matter more than ever. AI-generated code still needs independent verification.
  • "Coding Is Solved, Software Is Not" by Gao: writing code is no longer the bottleneck; context, specs, verification, and human checkpoints are
    • Confirmation bias risk: AI-generated test suites may just validate the implementation the agent already chose
    • Key takeaway: developers are spending more time on design decisions, domain clarity, and proving the right thing was built

Thanks for listening, and happy coding!
