Redundancy it is… my position isn’t value for the company given the ability of AI 🫡

Coming back from a nice holiday to be told as soon as I start. We have a call booked in for you with HR 🫡

Is there nothing you can do when a company says 100% remote on the application. Repeat it throughout interviews and then in the final interview drop… So there is 1 or 2 days in an office per week. Its false advertising.

Currently rewriting lots of internal web apps from create react app to vite. Is it worth writing a blog about it all. So far biggest impact before to build on a small project was 3.9s it’s now 0.25s. Bundle size saving about 12% on average.

The layoffs AI causes by failing will outnumber the layoffs it causes by working.

AI hasn’t eliminated the attack surface it’s multiplied it. Now companies are deploying the same agents that can infiltrate codebases to defend them. We’re creating new vulnerabilities, then using AI to protect against AI. Progress, or just an arms race with better marketing?

030

Daniel Philip Johnson @daniel-philips-enterprise.com · 24/06/2026

The patterns I’m starting to see. The code is over defence but at the same time add millions of fallbacks instead of making bad state possible. Creates bad abstractions. Avoid strong invariants. The less humans are in the loop the more it’s going to compound.

Daniel Philip Johnson @daniel-philips-enterprise.com · 24/06/2026

Have we really moved from understanding the code that’s shipped. To now relying on a clanker to help us understand it…

What people to generate noise about it on the video to probably get more engagement… Anything to keep users on the platform longer.

A new internal api we have is horrible to work with 😅. Can’t believe how messy it is

020

Daniel Philip Johnson @daniel-philips-enterprise.com · 11/06/2026

Why is there an api route for each status 😭

Daniel Philip Johnson @daniel-philips-enterprise.com · 10/06/2026

It turned out to be something along the lines of if (offset) When it was 0 it would be false and didn’t update the params 😅 as they expected. So pagination would break I have a suspicion it was a rushed feature and they fully knew it would be broken. But no one discovered it till it was too late.

Daniel Philip Johnson @daniel-philips-enterprise.com · 10/06/2026

Or a comment that says “known bug” without any hints 😅. I’ve actually found that in a codebase

Got a huge architecturing day today and documentation 😎.

I have one on my wall always doodle when working on a new feature 😅

I’ve been put on documentation duty 😭

It loves thinking it’s all about itself 😂. Ecosia it is then.

Typed hey Jude to get the sing. Got hit with hello! I am an Ai, not Jude

Next it will be 1-1 so I see you used 1b tokens. But the features in production provided no real value. So bye 👋

010

Daniel Philip Johnson @daniel-philips-enterprise.com · 29/05/2026

Are we going full tilt to… please maximise your tokens. Don’t use them on simple tasks pretty please 🙏. Budget properly… I can’t wait for consultants telling us how to manage our AI token allowance 😅.

We are going to shift from one bullshit story estimation of t shirt sizes to token estimates aren’t we 🥲

It’s hard to get behind slot when you can’t see what he is even working towards. There is no identity. What makes it worse for me it’s always always excuses.

Today is the day I’m fighting the pipeline. Finally got approval to switch everything to pnpm 😎

Daniel Philip Johnson @daniel-philips-enterprise.com · 11/05/2026

Let’s hope the recruiter gets back to me. 🤞 Hoping another one doesn’t ghost me midway through haha

010

Daniel Philip Johnson @daniel-philips-enterprise.com · 11/05/2026

Could I make my return to nuxt and vue. 🤞 hopefully

Daniel Philip Johnson @daniel-philips-enterprise.com · 07/05/2026

Pay lots of money to get AI to push crappy code? YES!! Pay for visual regression? NO!! Too expensive!! Invest time into pipeline to make sure AI code is governed. No!! Makes merging to production slower. Make it faster to push code to production by removing stuff from the pipeline? YES!!

Daniel Philip Johnson @daniel-philips-enterprise.com · 07/05/2026

It doesn’t even have a CEO. So no responsibility…

Daniel Philip Johnson @daniel-philips-enterprise.com · 06/05/2026

Ironic watching Microsoft build goodwill through VS Code and GitHub, then start rug pulling trust in the AI era. Google too: years building strong developer ecosystems, now “progress at all costs.” Everyone racing to be first to AI(LLM). Stability and trust become optional.

“Maybe we simplify the system.” “Yes, but the business needs flexibility.” At some point you realise the conversation was never about solving the problem. It was about protecting themselves from responsibility. Because if every solution is flawed, then nobody can blame them for failing to fix it.

Daniel Philip Johnson @daniel-philips-enterprise.com · 06/05/2026

One of the most common office dynamics is when someone asks for solutions to a problem they’ve already decided is impossible. “We need to reduce bugs.” “Maybe we improve test coverage.” “Yes, but that slows delivery.” “Maybe we tighten ownership.” “Yes, but teams are already overloaded.”
