Chat is a bad UI pattern for development tools—Daniel De Laney You don’t want to have a conversation with your computer, you want to build.

Can you really chat your way to reliable software? Daniel De Laney says no. AI coding tools need more structure—chat UIs lack the precision. Dev work needs clear docs, not scattered logs.

4 Styles of Coaching—and When to Use Them People often believe they’re coaching when they’re actually just giving instructions. So what is coaching and how do you get better at it? Effective coaching involves knowing when to ask questions and guide your employee and when to step back and let them own the decision-making. To help managers navigate their coaching journey, the author created the Coaching Styles framework—based on “push” and “pull” concepts from sports—that helps managers choose a coaching style that works for them and the situation. The framework helps leaders understand the importance of adapting different coaching styles to varying situations and fostering employees’ self-sufficiency. Mastering coaching requires practice and discernment, but it ultimately empowers both leaders and their teams to grow.

Effective coaching adapts. HBR outlines 4 styles: Telling, Hands-off, Asking/Listening, and Guiding. Know when to push or pull—based on your coachee and the context.
