The moment we start ti realize there are plenty of opportunities is the moment your mindset changes for ideas. Train for growth, not for scarcity.

Automation is more than adding AI to a process. It's having the opportunity to rewrite the new way of doing things in this new Era.

Selling to engineers is very hard, because we're always trying to make things independent from vendors even though it is easier to pay for it. 😅

Jérôme Tamarelle @GromNaN6d

Especially in software, because we underestimate the cost of maintaining and overestimate our capacity in building things; even more so in the age of AI.

The best way to ship is to make someone happy with what you do. By giving value, you receive recognition and money in exchange.

"Intolerance for ugliness is not in itself enough. You have to understand a field well before you develop a good nose for what needs fixing. You have to do your homework. But as you become expert in a field, you'll start to hear little voices saying, What a hack! There must be a…

The busier we get the less ideas we have. Having 10 agents doing stuff while we have to babysit them is not a good use of our time. High output is not the same as value to the business. https://adamtornhill.substack.com/p/scaling-agentic-coding-as-if-people

The best way to learn is in real projects. If your job is not giving you learnings, you have to create them yourself. Now that is easy to do, there are no excuses.

What do you think about where we're heading? With AI doing a lot of things, we have more opportunities to offer different things and at the same time a lot of companies are cutting jobs because of efficiency or lack of revenue, where a lot of features can be copied easily by…

We are living in the era where a single dev can do anything. We have to evolve to have more taste. Not just only backend but also frontend, but more importantly knowing about the business you work for.

The more you see UX, the more you realize that people stop making decisions if they see too many things on the screen. Too many decisions to make, so I will not take any.

Today is Friday. Better to be productive the next few hours, because of family time. I cannot see a phone or a computer near my kids. They get a bit crazy and assume that everyone has the same rights.

You already did the most difficult. Woke up alive. Now it's time to win. The world is your feedback machine, failures are just learnings to improve.

If claude is right most of the time, that can lead to accepting things that are not right sometimes, because I'm already used to accept it.

The biggest transformation happens when you think the process with AI, not putting an AI into an existent process. You can improve an existent process by 30%, but transforming it will give you a lot more gains.

Yes, business should rule always. I remember that in the past we as engineers created tech debt because we wanted to learn, even though the business didn't require to do those changes in scalability!

RGRicardo Gomes@ricardogomesOct 26

Even without Google complexity this is only true for the short term. Monoliths inevitably reach a point where change is hard and the decision becomes either: 1) let the software dictate the business or 2) rebuild it from scratch

Hugo Monteiro @monteiroOct 263898a0c

I don't know about you, but I learn most things on my side projects and experiments I do. No tech debt, and start from zero mentality gives you so much freedom to learn and create!
