Impact of AI on juniors? Not as negative as you might think. @lpeate.bsky.social at #Programmable2026
Enforcing standards is a key control to prevent AI slop in your coding. @lpeate.bsky.social at #Programmable2026
Delivery pressures directly conflict with AI learning and adoption. @lpeate.bsky.social at #Programmable2026
Engineers do more work when using AI. But... Also more work outside of hours @lpeate.bsky.social at #Programmable2026
What concerns engineers about AI? Maintainability, reduced learning, reduced understanding, and more. @lpeate.bsky.social at #Programmable2026
Using mTLS and client certificates to secure cloud services. Interesting talk by @cail.bsky.social at #Programmable2026
Adoption of AI does not equal impact. Only 14% of companies report seeing revenue gains. Mara Cajar-Robinson at #Programmable2026
I like @willvelida.com's definition of AI coding as HVE (hyper velocity engineering). Important point being velocity which implies *direction* not just speed. #DDDMelb
Sreyna Rath at #DDDMelb introduces Persona Testing to reduce bias in AI systems. We wouldn't release without unit tests; why do we release without bias tests?
