The "#AI" code generators are demonstrating very well that the idea of "building blocks" does not really apply to #software implementation; merely on a conceptual level, if at all.
Software is still not as simple as some MBA folks would like you to believe. What is sometimes called "technical debt" may as well be accepted to be natural

There's roughly two ways I've acquired skills in programming languages in the past: the "hard" way for writing code (e.g., "Learn Python the Hard Way"), and the "easy" way for learning to read a new programming language by skimming the language specs or leafing through a book on the topic (e.g., "The Supercollider Book").
I suppose there's a third way now for me: Reading up on software architecture design (e.g., stuff like "500 lines or less"), so that co-creation skills with large language models are improved?
For example, Yoav Rubin's article on "An Archaeology-Inspired Database" in 500 lines or less really made me think about Clojure in a new way.
Thoughts on this?

@urlyman@mastodon.social somewhere in the back of my mind is a metric that says that the majority of the lifetime cost of a piece of software is not in its initial development, but in its maintenance and inevitable expansion to accommodate new features. The corollary to that, is that investing time up front, planning and implementing a platform built for extension while changing the bare minimum lines of code across the project pays for itself many times over. Somewhere along the way that id…

I think it might be fundamentally important to note that #scale is not what hyperscalers and longtermists say it is. Software is great at scale. Practitioners who work closely with software are pretty good at it too. Business plans and people who assume scale means “this thing I think I know, only bigger” are *terrible* at it.

This is so cool! Not bad, strong swiss showing thanks to proton, but android is definitely the elephant in the room, and of course, the backend and lack of eurostack needs to go in there somewhere.

#Software peeps: do you still do box diagrams to work out how your structures will sit in memory?
#Lisp

A section of a design document I am working on, comprising text surrounding a box diagram. The text is:

In the beginning was the Word

My intention is that memory will be considered as an array of 64 bit words.

Each word may be considered as

1. a cons cell: two instances of object32, each having one mark bit, three tag bits and 28 payload bits;

2. a single object64, having one mark bit, seven tag bits, and 56 payload bits.

Note that, for any word, the first four bits comprise the mark and …

I need some anecdotal data from you #software #development folks. How often does your CI/CD system build your team’s solution per day? Including merge requests, bug fixes, and more.

Two LinkedIn posts side by side. The older one, on the right, is a hiring post looking for a senior software engineer.

The newer one, 7 months later, says 1100 people were laid off.

Designing a team of agents
I continue to experiment with AI in the context of software engineering. I’m fortunate that my team supports me in exploring different ways to improve our daily work. This week, I designed a team of autonomous agents to implement features, from design to implementation. Why autonomous agents? A long time ago, we were delighted when the IDE offered auto-completion. In the previous two years, things have changed. A lot. Coding assistants have become our primary interfaces for coding.

It's 2026 and #software releases are still a mess. 🫠
Point taken, everyone has different needs.
Versioning?
You have your manifests, tags, release notes; they all need to be in sync.
Changelog?
There is tooling to generate it, and there are conventional commits.
CI?
You know, that thing that keeps biting you and requires its own maintenance.
