In the face of generative AI coding agents, the role of human-led architecture becomes even more important in the crafting of software-intensive systems.

Frankly, I find relegating hiring to an AI incredibly off-putting. I would never consider working for a company that thinks the hiring decision is so unimportant that it doesn't need to involve humans. It doesn't bode well. 3/4

I am less worried about the cyber attacks from Ai agents and more about the cyber attacks against Ai agents. The first would be an attacker using a model to carry out attacks. LLMs often make this annoyingly hard, they refuse too much. To jailbreak them you need trained criminals which are rare.

In amongst all the AI madness, people seem to have forgotten that the point of working in very small increments with very frequent releases is to get feedback sooner so that we can adjust what we're building to best meet our customers' needs. 1/5

Job applicants are using AI to write resumes and prep interview answers. Companies are using AI to screen those applications and conduct initial interviews. We’ve officially automated both sides of a process meant to measure human connection. The irony is genuinely unreal.

Interesting article, I've seen a few articles recently from experienced XP background type folks saying they're dropping lower level TDD in favour of more outside in acceptance/E2E test driven approach

After 25 years with TDD, we are now parting ways. The incremental TDD steps were great for human cognition, but didn't survive the transition to agentic coding.

If everything is potentially a lie whom could you trust? How can we establish a sense of "truth" (knowing that our body of knowledge is not static and truths are scarce in a complex world)? GenAI brings doubts to the next level but the fields of the epistemic apocalypse were already well fertilized.

I honestly think Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is key with AI, as important as it was before AI, for a few different reasons. The main is that even the best models can't design a good domain model... but they can help you to create a better one.

Agile Software Development is NOT break big projects into small sprints. Agile Software Development IS build something, then iterate. I have seen so many teams spend extraordinary effort on the ceremony of Scrum, and never once manage or even try to put some early idea in the hands of users.

One of the dysfunctions that AI amplifies is the software industry's focus on output. The move to AI is all about increasing output. Robot monkeys type faster and produce more output than people. The problem, of course, is that it's never been output that's the problem. 1/10

To me, tests are part of your system and its architecture, not a separate thing that's tacked on as an afterthought. As such, architectural principles that pervade the system must extend to the tests. Testability is an essential architectural characteristic that pervades the system. 1/9
