Why Agentic Software Development Needs Local LLMs Before It Breaks Us Over-reliance on cloud‑based AI is a single point of failure. Local models aren’t a luxury — they’re the backbone of resilient agentic…

Suddenly, your M5 Max machine is a useless paperweight, and Claude or Cursor just a blinking cursor gating you from a solution… medium.com/gitconnected... #coding #ai #softwaredevelopment

The Things No One Tells You About Agentic Engineering As much as I love AI in software development, there are challenges we don’t talk about enough. But we should. Urgently…

You know that cool new thing we all adopted practically overnight? Where we let agents do all the coding? That!

We need to talk about the difficult parts, the misunderstood bits of it too. Tthe parts that nobody hypes up… #coding #ai #softwaredevelopment

I bet you didn’t know that LEGO made computers. Actual working computers. All the way back in 1997! This was the first one: medium.com/bricksnbrack... #lego #computers #tech #programming #coding

Agile Ceremonies Don’t Make Sense Anymore, So What’s Next? They don’t make sense, but we do them religiously because we don’t know what else to do…

I keep hearing Agile is dead.
Until a few months ago I would have replied that Agile isn’t dead, but add #ai into the mix and you quickly realize Agile isn’t dead, just not agile enough… attilavago.medium.com/agile-ceremo... #softwaredevelopment #coding #softwareengineering #agile

What Do LEGO And Coldplay Have In Common? Sometimes greatness comes in humble packaging…

I bet you’d never mention #coldplay and #lego in the same sentence, but believe it or not, they have something in common… 😉 medium.com/bricksnbrack...

All That Web Accessibility Needed Was AI, Not Human Empathy Teaching and enforcing software accessibility was a futile exercise. Here comes AI to save the day, and us, humans from ourselves…

Good news! By 2121 the web might be accessible.
Yeah... I'm being sarcastic.

How I Made A Wireless Light Brick To Prove LEGO Wrong If cramming a bunch of sensors into a brick is “peak tech” these days, maybe my home-made wireless light brick is “out of this world”…

Do You Agree With LEGO’s Stance On Military Vehicles? While LEGO still refuses to go anywhere near the theme, another brand decided to build an entire business around it…

We Went From AI In The Loop To Human In The Loop, And You Didn’t Even Notice A software engineer’s thoughts on reluctance to change, culture and mistrust towards the machine…

We have to start being pragmatic here - artificial intelligence, agentic coding has arrived. It's at the point where as an engineer you simply cannot ignore it. Long story short: you either burn AI tokens, or you burn your career to the ground. #coding #ai attilavago.medium.com/we-went-from...

Fan Designers Are The Best Thing That Happened To LEGO ”Play well” means more than official LEGO sets and sealed boxes. Sometimes the most fun comes in a clear bag and a PDF…

As a long-time LEGO fan I can say that the real hard-core fans aren’t about mindlessly collecting sets but coming up with their own. #lego #design #creativity medium.com/bricksnbrack...
