A simple UML use case diagram and system boundary can keep your LLM from going off the rails. By defining exactly what is inside your system and what belongs outside (like external APIs), you give…

Model-driven engineering with LLM support.

It's 2026, why are you talking about UML? Because visual modelling is a secret superpower in the AI age. This video explains the benefits.

This episode looks at the origin of design patterns in software, their development, and the limited exposure many software engineers have to the idea. The episode is supported by members of…

What does a coding-agent harness actually add, and at what cost? It turns out your Claude models may not need Claude Code… We evaluate 21 model–harness pairs spanning seven models and three…

Using a large language model (LLM) coding assistant frees up brain cycles to concentrate on your customer's problems instead of the minutiae of code. Or, it would, if they did the right thing, It's…

This episode discusses the final section of the 1969 software engineering techniques conference report…eventually, after discussing how statistics does or doesn't work. I also reflect on both…

Hand the cheap model a trajectory, not a plan: /prewalk keeps 92–97% of the frontier pass rate at roughly half the cost, measured on SWE-Bench Pro.

A Dr Seuss-style story written in seconds alerted me to the power – and perils – of the technology. But how can children embrace it without forgetting core skills?

This episode contextualises the 1968 NATO Science Committee conference on Software Engineering, and explains what we learn through the executive summary, preface, and first three sections of the…
