I’ve been thinking about how I build software is so very very different how I used to do it three years ago. No, I’m not talking about acceleration through usage of AI but instead at a more fundamental level of approach, techniques and best practices. Standard software practices
What is “loop engineering?”
There’s talk about loop engineering, but what is it exactly? I looked into it, and found triggers, cron jobs, AI slop & more. Is it a “here today, gone tomorrow” trend?
Software Acceleration and Desynchronization
A look at the ever-present drive to make software delivery faster and how it might break down various activity loops in organizations.
I used AI. It worked. I hated it.
I used Claude Code to build a tool I needed. It worked great, but I was miserable. I need to reckon with what it means.
The New Software Lifecycle
I co-wrote a Google whitepaper about how AI is changing the software lifecycle. I'm not going to summarize the whole thing. Instead, here are the handful of ...
The Ma of a New Machine – Scott Jenson
The current Silicon Valley flex is trading notes on your favorite new AI tools over lunch. Each week brings another one to explore. Some of these tools are very impressive; I’ve been able to reply to someone with an alternative UI design in less than a minute, and they were dumbfounded: “How did you do that so fast?”

AI Makes Better Software
Don't use AI to ship software faster. Use it to ship better software.
The antidote to AI fatigue — Answer.ai Solveit
Agentic Engineering Management
To what extent AI is OK to use in software development might be debated, but in general, the idea is not a controversial one anymore. The debate rather moved on from code completion and simple PR summarizations to Agentic Engineering, where an execution loop allows an AI Agent to function
The Software We Haven’t Invented Yet, discussion and dinner hosted by Boxd and BlueYard · Luma
If this is such a big moment for software, why are we mostly imagining faster versions of what we already do? Better coding tools are the obvious part. The…
