Now for a quote Jurassic Level Big Up to @modernswe.bsky.social for their YouTube note. Approval testing, too, is a healthy technique to monitor throughput, yet the note invites questions: 1) Can Approval Tests be synthesized with adequate *other* layer tests? 2) When does trunk time start?

Think legacy code is just old Cobol programs? Think again. The untested code you committed this morning might already be legacy. In my new video, I explore why legacy isn’t about age, but about testability and the cost of change. Watch now on @modernswe.bsky.social ➡️ youtu.be/jScItKhruN0

Inheriting legacy code feels like a minefield. Approval testing records system output so you can refactor safely without breaking existing behavior. Want to learn how? Grab Dave Farley's FREE Approval Testing Guide 👇 www.subscribepage.com/approval-tes...

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)

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)
