If we stop writing code, what's the meaning of our software engineers' job? I stepped back through 30 years of software crises to find out. The pattern is always the same: we confuse producing with building, lose meaning, then find it back. And now AI. #SoftwareEngineering #AI #Architecture

The Next Software Crisis Won't Be About Writing Code

AI makes code generation nearly free. But without architecture, design, and craft, we're just producing technical debt faster. Here's why fundamentals matter.

If the C2 compiler is intermittently failing to inline code when running a JMH benchmark with the cause "unloaded signature classes", what's the best way to troubleshoot this? I'm not finding a lot of info online.

at my employer, moving from 40% to 60% in-office and embracing hot desks, we’ve lost 80% of IC6 (staff / emeritus) people and about 25% of our IC5 (senior principal) in my org. I gave my notice today to take a full remote job (with a 10% pay cut). They’re down from 6 to 3 SRE and now no manager.

Is this what's happening? I have only heard the opposite -- that juniors can't get hired, people only want to give jobs to super experienced seniors. 🤔
