Reclaiming Evolutionary Design and Human Judgment in the Age of Autonomous Code Generation

Not to do better prompts but to understand better intentions between AI and humans.

Navigating Software Physics, AI Hype, and the Living Artifacts of Sustainable Design

DRY, coupling, WET, LRM, YAGNI, refactoring. What all of these terms mean and how they fit together?

How Meta-Architecture, Over-Engineering, and the Myth of Infinite Extensibility Are Quietly Sabotaging Your Engineering Velocity

The latest AI loop, maintain the human in the loop not as a goalkeeper but as the best feedback provider.

En un mundo donde escribir código es cada vez más barato, el futuro del SaaS quizás pasa por dejar de pretender ser un «café para todos».

How architectural recipes, cloud over-engineering, and our new token addiction are breeding catastrophic accidental complexity.

We are currently witnessing a dangerous pivot in the software industry. The hype cycle has birthed a new myth: “Business is All You Need.”

The Trap of Waking Up at 2 AM for Nothing, it's a signal of a bad monitoring alerting system.

Don't be just a custodian of the code. If you are the one that will be called at 3:00 AM if an incident arises, please don't lose the capacity to surgically change the code.

I see a lot of people asking of why AI needs to have high quality standard than hands on code. The simple answer is entropy and velocity.

Tech debt is about design, it is the delta between what you know now about your software design and what is written in the code. AI can help us to build better software, not worse faster.

Lately, it seems we’ve lost what a developer actually is.

Refactoring is not rewriting and is not about changing things because I don't like them. It needs to be more important than that to refactor.

In Einstein's Special Relativity, time sets a frontier to pass information to observers (causality). Time is the way to allow causality, learning is a consequence of causality and time.

Timeouts are essential in distributed software systems, but they are not what you think they are.

You cannot use interfaces everywhere, decoupling every class from another has not much sense, so when to use interfaces?.

Abstractions are better or worse, taking into account how leaky they are. At some degree all abstractions are leaky, but not all of them are the same.

One of the key aspects of the development of a product is knowing where we should go from an architectural point of view. But why, when and how to create an architectural vision?

During the last year I've seen a lot of people claiming against AI because it's not able to maintain the code, or the code is a mess or features have been lost. Welcome to software!!

Tests are fitness functions that warn us about unintentional behaviors we have introduced when changing some parts of the code, breaking old behaviors.

Mocking tools make it really easy to create stubs, spies, mocks. When you start learning how to test you love them, then after a while you hate them and after that you realize they are great again.

Mistakes in software are opportunities to learn, but it's incredibly stupid to commit a mistake twice.

En este episodio conversamos con Raffaella Roviglioni, sobre cómo el Product Discovery puede marcar la diferencia entre construir por intuición o por comprensi

Are we kidding ourselves, thinking our systems are immune to catastrophic failure? The Spanish power outage is a wake-up call. Have you thought about anatomy of a cascading failure, highlighting the ...

Now in Spain we are thinking what happened to have a power outage. Integration points are usually the cause of this.

¿Es posible construir software sin caer en la trampa de la sobreingeniería?

The 28th of April in Spain, the whole country was under a power outage. The way the system was restarted, remembered me about the dog-pile…

You’ve probably heard this phrase, “We’ll refactor it later”, what do you feel with that?. Some people don’t trust this statement, so they…

When I ask my mother about the recipe to do anything she makes, her answer usually is just taste it and decide from that. Can we do the…

Design is a word that we use to mention the abstract properties inherent to a product, in hardware this usually means to think in design…
