Inheriting legacy code without tests feels like walking through a minefield. You know it needs refactoring, but you're terrified to touch it because you don't know what subtle behaviours might break. 🧵 1/4

Pushing your dev team harder for speed actually slows you down. In tonight’s new video, I explore why software isn't a factory production line, it’s a discovery process. Stop rushing delivery & start optimising for learning.123 Tune in tonight at 7 PM! On @modernswe.bsky.social

When deployment takes 45 minutes and releases happen every two weeks, every single decision becomes defensive, slow, and political. What is the single biggest bottleneck in your current commit-to-production pipeline?

Why do software specs often fail? Is it because we try to agree on abstract requirements instead of debating concrete examples?

For CTOs and Tech Leads, AI coding assistants present a seductive trap: the belief that they will magically solve your delivery bottlenecks. But typing code was never the hard part of software engineering. 🧵 (1/7)

Modern Software Engineering @modernswe.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

If writing code is no longer the bottleneck, we have to look closely at our delivery pipeline and ask: what is?

If your solution to system failures is "tell developers to be more careful," you don't have an engineering strategy. You have a wish. And wishes don't scale. As humans, we are fundamentally fallible. We make mistakes. 🧵 (1/6)

We are building powerful, poorly understood, non-deterministic systems, handing them autonomy, and wiring them into places that matter. Stop asking if AI is conscious. Start asking: where is the engineering discipline keeping it safe? New video out now ➡️ youtu.be/mRF99to28sA
