Interesting read: "C Isn't A Programming Language Anymore"
Everyone else seems to be crushing it…
Those engineers you think are "crushing it" may still need your support.
Just because you think they are crushing it, doesn’t mean they are coping.
Excellent performance doesn’t mean an absence of:
Stress Self-doubt Burnout.
They probably don’t feel like they are crushing it…

Senior Developer Skills in the #AI Age: Leveraging Experience for Better Results • Manuel Kießling
https://manuel.kiessling.net/2025/03/31/how-seasoned-developers-can-achieve-great-results-with-ai-coding-agents/
One thing I've seen demonstrated over and over in 30+ years of maintenance programming is that most organizations have no fucking clue on how their code works. This leads to an irrational fear of change, and illogical decisions on implementing changes.
Don't you love when software displays a message that something "completed successfully" when it actually wasn't successful?
Guys, you either handle errors or you don't. Both is fine with me. But don't lie to me.
Had a great time chatting with Sam and Richard on the Moonpig Tech Podcast about our journey into event-driven architecture (#EDA)!
We dig into the why, the how, and the real-world intricacies of building #EDA at #Moonpig

"My current conclusion, though preliminary in this rapidly evolving field, is that not only can seasoned developers benefit from this technology — they are actually in the optimal position to harness its power.
Here’s the fascinating part: The very experience and accumulated know-how in software engineering and project management — which might seem obsolete in the age of AI — are precisely what enable the most effective use of these tools.
While I haven’t found the perfect metaphor for these LLM-based programming agents in an AI-assisted coding setup, I currently think of them as “an absolute senior when it comes to programming knowledge, but an absolute junior when it comes to architectural oversight in your specific context.”
This means that it takes some strategic effort to make them save you a tremendous amount of work.
And who better to invest that effort in the right way than a senior software engineer?
As we’ll see, while we’re dealing with cutting-edge technology, it’s the time-tested, traditional practices and tools that enable us to wield this new capability most effectively."
The best way to build confidence in your solution…
…Is to get early feedback.
Discuss your ideas before implementing them. Get someone to eyeball your solution as early as possible. Deploy something and let people have a play as soon as you can.
Too often, I've found myself tucked away working on a feature, going deeper and deeper down that rabbit hole...
