The Paradox of the Software Engineering Fall & Redemption
==================================
Which reference points should we consider for our professional field and the future of our discipline?

An exploration of events from Software Engineering Fall and return: www.smharter.com/blog/the-sof...

We now know from the news and from history that going down this path doesn't work, not even for those concerns. Please let's all stop now before it's too late.

My dear friends that may say "I am nor racist BUT ... I have concerns" we can see now those well-intentioned sentiments, in USA, ending with law enforcement detaining children's and even killing natural-born and legal citizens with no criminal record.

I have just updated three important points of the Agile Time Machine (bit.ly/AgileTimeMac...) relating to the contributions of Tom Gilb:
- Software Metrics, 1976
- Principles of Software Engineering Management, 1988
- Evo: Evolutionary Value Optimization, 2024

I COULD NOT
- fully rely & let myself be guided by the AI coding agent as I can with a human expert-pair

This is because
=> AI coding agents in the end
=> are book-smart but life-dumb.

#AI #LLMs #GenerativeAI #Agents
#CodingAgents #AIAssistedCoding
#AIEngineering #PromptEngineering #AICoding

So, while I COULD
- develop some trust in the AI coding agent (as an intuition on what it could do, when to stop, and a workflow that helps maximise the productivity gains without falling for the perception gap),

continue ...

While the AI agent accelerated my learning, helped me validate my understanding & the impact of my high-level decisions (on tech quality, product design, and business impact), the responsibility for every final decision rested with me as part of the "human review and verification" step

continue ...

After a few projects, in retrospect, I realised my vertical slices were thicker than usual. This was driven by my need to validate the technical and architectural decisions layer-by-layer, before moving on to the next.

Donald, you have harshly criticised the European Union many times this past week.

Okey

Look!
This is the European Union Nobel Prize.
Where is yours?

Here a good recap of this with conclusions => www.smharter.com/blog/2025/12...

On this topic, AI-assisted coding, I also share this post discussing realistic expectations of productivity gains, and the tricky problem of the perception gap: www.smharter.com/blog/2025/09...

#TeamTopologies
#FeatureTeasm
#OrgDesign

The superpower of Team Topologies lies in providing a vocabulary for talking about team structures and interactions.

Its Achilles' heel is being opinionated on exclusive code ownership at team level, where shared product codebase ownership is also a valid heuristic

Vibe coding and Chat-oriented programming (CHOP) or more in general AI-assisted coding have the potential to rewrite the way we do professional software development

This should not mean we lose all the lessons already learned...
