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.

We asked engineers how far AI can really go in software delivery, and their answer was simple: it can speed things up, but people still have to make the decisions.

At Devoxx UK in London, I caught up with Eoin Woods - co-author of three software architecture books and former CTO of Endava, to find out why beautifully designed systems still break in production.

At Infobip Shift, accomplished speaker and engineer Teresa Wu will talk about how AI is transforming software delivery, multi-platform development, and the future of engineering teams.

Amir Sahefendic, CEO and founder of Doist, says success now depends on solving real problems and building products people actually want to keep using.

As AI tools reshape how software is built, the engineers in our new video say the job is shifting from writing every line by hand to guiding, reviewing, and orchestrating what AI produces.

Your AI metrics might be measuring the wrong thing. Dr. Catherine Hicks explains how to fix the theory, not the dashboards.

When tech company ustwo assessed one AI product’s carbon footprint, they found most came from AI inference. It raised a question: if AI has a measurable environmental impact, why is it almost invisible to everyday users?

This article provides a detailed overview of Google’s career structure, from the entry - level L3, up to elite titles like Google Fellow - L10.

At a CTO Craft Dinner in Toronto, I sat down with engineering leaders from more than a dozen tech companies and asked where AI has actually landed. The free-for-all is over and we need to be realistic.

What economist Charles Goodhart said in 1975 is completely applicable in 2026: When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.

Developers share how they handle deadlines, pressure, and team communication - and why small white lies sometimes help engineering teams keep moving.
