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.

A fortnight of headlines about AI killing us all, and the thing actually coming at us is getting little attention as a result. It's not the models getting smarter, it's that we're wiring them up to everything, and nobody has worked out how to do that safely yet. blog.robbowley.net/2026/09/18/t...

Maybe the paper has been written by an LLM 🤔

Call me conspiranoic, but even all this stuff around "let's make a manifesto to prevent AI from going rogue and destroying us" is nothing but a maneuver to attract more investors. Like if this is potentially dangerous, it is also good.

I didn't know about ApplicationContextRunner. I will take a look!

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

Btw I almost missed the point the article was making: do not unleash several agents working on stories in parallel. 💯 On that, as the feedback of usage from one slice could invalide or re-shape what comes next.

But I share the concerns about the delegation of understanding of the inner parts of the code. Maybe there is a balance that can be achieved, starting with acceptance tests, doing a shallow code review just making sure that the classes created make sense from a domain abstraction POV

Agree with the article. However, from a cost/benefit standpoint, I also understand if ppl say that using agents costs money and it needs to speed up delivery. Doing outside-in TDD would achieve that theoretically it if just oversee the loop at acceptance-test level, more than inside-out.

Likewise! Have a nice weekend!

Fair point with systems where lives are at stake!

Thing is that some proponents, like the article, say that outside-in TDD at API level leverages the AI fully since we write less code, while doing it at unit level creates a bottleneck on us. I do share your point that unit level keeps us closer to the inner loop and thus understanding.

I find it hard to imagine creating deterministic abstractions with non deterministic tools. But I can imagine iterating the design over higher abstractions like acceptance tests

I don't remember the words exactly but it suggests that code is no longer for humans to read. But I believe we still need to oversee that good abstractions are created, even of we no longer look into those black boxes

I share the same feeling there

Yeah I'm curious to see how it evolves. Maybe we need to develop other skills. Same way most engineers dropped low level coding (assembler, C) in favor of modern languages, perhaps we need to focus on BDD specs to drive the agents

Now add agentic development into the mix 🧉

Yeah I remember the heated debates on Twitter around this topic haha

Send them this. Hopefully they are curious enough to track down the author and do some reading or watch a techtalk

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

Practices I Abandoned with Agents: An Ode to Test-Driven Development

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.

What’s the problem w using LLMs to write stuff you want other people to read -emails, articles, posts- and why are people (like me!) so incredibly hostile that they will block you/mute you/block your domain, to never read anything from you again? Bryan spells it out. Read it:

I do not fear the rise of artificial intelligence. But I do fear the rise of a small set of billionaires and companies who seek to build such things to increase their power and their wealth, all without transparency or accountability.

for the haters - bad news, i am afraid. literally every Fortune 500 company is using AI to develop their products and services. in many cases they're no longer even doing manual code review. i hate to break it to you, but if you won't use services built using AI you just checked out of modern life.

Why does EventStorming insist on past-tense sticky notes? "Order placed." "Payment confirmed." "Item dispatched." It forces precision. It anchors the room in shared reality instead of assumptions. We broke down the full grammar in our latest blog post: buff.ly/bieandh

One hallmark of a lousy app is that it's chock full of features. A good app does one critical and necessary thing well. A pile of features typically does nothing but add clutter and make the app harder to use. 1/12

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.

I look forward to hearing more from you on functional programming. If I learned one thing from Domain Modeling made Functional from Scott Wlaschin, is that functional programming is not necessarily at odds with proper software design

Fran Díaz @frandayzdev.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

I guess we will trade review with oversight? Guiding the desired behavior with tests at the abstraction level that we can comprehend without necessarily looking at the implementation?

I think he's point is that human reviews can spot security vulnerabilities that otherwise would be overlooked. But from my experience at least, I don't remember catching those as part of code reviews, but rather use analysis tools 🤔
