Waterfall and heavy methodologies have always fallen short. In my latest piece, I explore why spec-driven development fails, what AI agents excel at instead, and how to focus on the ultimate source of truth that cannot lie. medium.com/@ramtop/spec...

When joining a new team, AI can help you get up to speed faster. I wrote down some practical suggestions from my personal experience on how to use it during onboarding. Not as a replacement for your teammates, but as a way to make those interactions more effective. medium.com/@ramtop/ai-a...

It's very trendy for the woke left to mock the police these days, but this is the kind of thing that you and I might miss.

BBC report that police are focussing on a 'ladder placed against the side of the Louvre' while investigation a recent theft from the art gallery.

7 years later and I still whisper, “We’re disabled, Daniel, not werewolves” to myself like a sacred mantra whenever I see a non-disabled person discover ableism like it’s the latest hipster indie band.

Daniel Lawson @DanielLaw1998: Disabled parking should only be valid during business hours 9 to 5, Monday to Friday.

I cannot see any reason why people with genuine disabilities would be out beyond these times.

I think a lot about this quote from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944: “America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

My flow with AI assistants is getting more and more refined and "standardized". I miss 2 features: - automatically save the prompt in the commit message (I rarely commit with more than one prompt) or in a separate file. - have an easy way to apply the same prompt to a set of files iteratively.
