🔥 Hot take: Don't let AI take notes for you

Why your own messy notes still beat a tidy AI summary

Coding velocity is not delivery velocity. We explore why.

SmartBear CEO Dan Faulkner on the quality gap created by agentic coding, why intent validation is quality's next big role, and what BearQ is trying to do about it.

Stop studying, start learning: How to stay focused in the world of shiny tools

Chaotic learning is not the best option

What's the hardest part of defining "expected behaviour" for a system that produces different output every time?

Claude Code Security plugin is reported to cut security-related comments on pull requests by 30 to 40%

Myth: The real work is technical, empathy is extra

Is empathy a nice extra, or the engine behind good quality work?

Everything is scattered. Nothing is structured.

What happened to charters and templates that guide us?
