I'm back from leaddev berlin. The theme that rang loudest was that code production is beginning to outpace our organizational judgement & means of learning from customers.

One of my favorite slides of today at #leadDevBerlin
@leaddev.com

The talk was about LLM code reviews, but tbh I feel like I could also tag some people here lol

Measuring developer friction beats counting output, LeadDev argues. I think a clearer error message now deserves a planning slot ahead of another coding assistant.

Stop measuring developer productivity
Why engineering leaders should focus less on developer productivity and more on the obstacles that prevent them from delivering software.

Is the engineering manager role dying or just changing? LeadDev says it's here to stay, The Pragmatic Engineer says re-skill or retire. Either way, someone still needs to look after the humans. usepetals.com/blog/who-loo...

At leaddev berlin. There's a divergence on what's becoming different in our AI world. A lot of people (spoiler: devtools people) are seeing a need to dive into the underlying software system/platform.

There's an underrepresented view of people who recognize the need to get closer to the customer.

Who looks after the humans when the engineering manager role changes?
LeadDev says the engineering manager is here to stay. The Pragmatic Engineer carries a blunter case, re-skill or retire. Either way, the human side of the job is the part AI can't do, and it's where…

Heading to LeadDev Berlin on November 9–10? Stop by our stand for information about getting a signed copy of Sam Newman’s latest book, Building Resilient Distributed Systems.

We’d also enjoy hearing what your team’s working on. Hope to see you there!

Really enjoyed talking to Ryan Donovan and @stackoverflow.blog.web.brid.gy about OAuth2, agents, some of the findings from the @leaddev.com AI survey and more.

Bonus: you'll also hear me plea for folks to build on standards.

So the company name on my LeadDev profile isn't accurate anymore.

I'm self-employed again and at least for now it feels great.

Catching up on LeadDev. This is something no one could have foreseen, right? 🙄

"The engineers … now spend an average of 16.9 hours a week debugging … just 9.8 hours producing code … largely because 35% of AI-generated code is reaching production before engineering teams have fully comprehended it"
AI code causes real world production outages
A new report suggests four in five organizations have experienced outages as a result of AI code.

A LeadDev piece shows junior engineers shipping fast with AI yet unable to explain the system. I think onboarding should end at the first incident handled alone.

#EngineeringOnboarding
Your junior engineers are getting faster but are they getting better?
AI made junior engineers faster but left them without mental models, so one team rebuilt onboarding to restore understanding without losing speed.

FWIW, I think this tracks but there's a lot of nuances lost. I was at leaddev conf a few weeks ago and I want to say a big majority of conversations were about how to do planning and verification better, and that roughly the old practices for that srill need to change a lot to adapt to "code on tap"

Angie Jones, VP of the AAIF, spoke with LeadDev about why developers need to go from agent users to agent builders, why MCP governance can't be an afterthought, and why open standards like MCP and A2A matter.

I got interviewed by LeadDev about why I stopped using AI for coding. Great read with others' perspectives too leaddev.com/ai/meet-the-...

A growing number of developers are rejecting AI, even when it costs them clients, job offers, and their careers.
