New Blog Post! My struggles of getting started with Aeron, and also working with Claude. It's a Friday afternoon blog post and I have not carefully edited it for grammar, nor shortened it for impact. But it's published, and a bot didn't write it trishagee.com/2026/07/24/g...
Getting Started with Aeron - Trisha Gee
Getting started with Aeron is hard. There, I said it. It took a lot for me to admit. My job as a developer advocate has been learning new technology and using it. I'm good at that. And now I have Clau...

This is how much knitting I managed during the world cup. The cabling kept me occupied during the painful and boring bits.

The Ugly Phase - Trisha Gee
My husband and I have found a new way to get through tough times (and I don't just mean relationship-wise!). It's about recognising the Ugly Phase and learning to accept it. Let me explain what the Ug...

Are your tests catching bugs...or slowing your team down? 👀 More tests don't always mean better software. @trishagee.bsky.social explores the hidden costs of #testing, common mistakes & how to build confidence without sacrificing speed. 🎥 youtu.be/e0gwyyO3Gd8?... #TDD #SoftwareEngineering

When looking for tech events, hacks, & meetups, where do you go to find them? As the organiser of @virtualjug.bsky.social & launching a new dev event, I want to make sure we show up in the spaces you actually use. Let me know in the comments 👇
Join me on July 7-9 for an intensive online 3-day Code Craft training workshop. Learn foundational technical practices that accelerate feedback loops, shrink lead times and improve release reliability - with and without AI. codemanship.co.uk/codecraft.html
In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started: gofund.me/456d8a193

I ended up with 106 slides, and it does more or less take 50 mins. So... I did it, and the talk is still 5 hours away!
Job hunting as a developer is a nightmare, right? Tell me your stories of navigating the recruitment process as a dev looking for a job, and if you've been in the game for a while, tell me how it's changed lately (I want to use these stories on the Modern Software Engineering channel)
Am I taking longer generating pretty backgrounds for my slides than I am creating actual content for my slides? Yes, yes I am
Alright people. I'm creating a new talk for @devoxx.uk next week, and as usual I want your insights into The Real World. If you're using AI as a developer or engineering leader, let me know which fundamentals or "stuff that we've known for ages" are helpful.
Morning folks. Question for developers: how would you describe your primary use of AI coding tools in your day job? Do you not use it much or at all? Do you mostly ask questions in a chat window? Do you mostly use inline completion (perhaps with editing)? Are you doing full agentic development?
Below are the 14 markers for successful Continuous Delivery within an organisation... Little bonus game... can you guess which one of these I think is the most important to get right? 👀 🧵 1/5
National Rejoin March IV 10th Anniversary of the referendum! 10 Years of What the F***! LONDON Saturday 20th June 2026 12noon - 4:30pm #RejoinEU #RejoinMarch marchforrejoin.co.uk
This is possibly my favourite talk I've given in the last couple of years. It's about how to apply the stuff you've learnt at a conference (or through research) and how to convince your bosses that you need time to play. #DeveloperProductivity youtu.be/kSNwB5xilgQ?...

I updated my personal site! I've been wanting to give it a "proper" design overhaul for years, but the time investment needed meant that I kept putting it off. Thanks to Claude, and to having a bit more "free" time right now, I finally did it! Take a look: trishagee.com

NEW POST @birgitta410.bsky.social wrote some initial thoughts about Harness Engineering last month. Since then she's been researching more and has now written a thoughtful mental model for understanding the topic. martinfowler.com/articles/har...
Harness engineering for coding agent users
A mental model for building trust in coding agents through feedforward guides, feedback sensors, and iterative harness engineering.
