Choose a Database Because It Fits the Workload, Not Because It’s Familiar
The fastest way to create technical debt in AI is still the oldest one: choosing a database because it feels comfortable.
NVIDIA CTO Says AI is Now About Software, Networking And Power – Not Just Chips
The AI boom is no longer just a race to build faster machines. The real challenge now is making all the moving parts work together at scale.
PewDiePie’s AI Experiment Is What Software Development Looks Like Now
I let the dust settle, and this is what I think: regular apps usually need teams of dozens to ideate, build, and test before they ship. Odysseus, PewDiePie’s new AI platform, doesn’t - at least, not in the usual way.
Security Must Be Built In as Everyone Becomes a Builder
A new kind of builder is emerging inside organizations - one that works fast, ships often, and rarely follows the instincts of a software engineer. That raises a simple question: what happens to security?
Being a Senior Engineer Doesn’t Mean You Never Need Help
The jump from mid-level to senior engineer is often framed as a technical one. Michelle Brenner says the real difference is judgment: understanding the business, making pragmatic trade-offs, and knowing when to ask for help.
The Real Source of Truth Is No Longer Code – It’s the Specifications
AI can write the code. The harder question is whether anyone still understands what it was supposed to do six months later.

That mismatch is becoming the real cost of AI-assisted development: code ships faster, but the work of understanding it, checking it, and trusting it hasn’t sped up at all.
Lovable’s Co-Founder on Why Developers Use a Platform Made for Non-Technical Users
I went to Raise Summit in Paris to see whether Lovable is just another tool for non-technical founders - or something developers can actually use to build faster.
Instagram’s Co-Founder Says He Doesn’t Review Every Line of Code Anymore
At the AI Engineer conference in San Francisco, I heard Instagram co-founder Mike Krieger say developers no longer need to review every line of code by hand. The real job now is judging AI’s decisions and whether the product solves the right problem.
How Convenient JPA Defaults Broke Our Kotlin Microservice
The promise of JPA is simple: define your entities, let the framework handle the rest. And it works until you look at what "the rest" means.
Developers are the reason behind best (and worst) parts of software development
Building software is full of ups and downs. Some days, you're working with the best team you can find, and others it's up to you to fix something with no idea how it works and no access to documentation.
