"My current conclusion, though preliminary in this rapidly evolving field, is that not only can seasoned developers benefit from this technology — they are actually in the optimal position to harness its power.

Here’s the fascinating part: The very experience and accumulated know-how in software engineering and project management — which might seem obsolete in the age of AI — are precisely what enable the most effective use of these tools.

While I haven’t found the perfect metaphor for these LLM-based programming agents in an AI-assisted coding setup, I currently think of them as “an absolute senior when it comes to programming knowledge, but an absolute junior when it comes to architectural oversight in your specific context.”

This means that it takes some strategic effort to make them save you a tremendous amount of work.

And who better to invest that effort in the right way than a senior software engineer?

As we’ll see, while we’re dealing with cutting-edge technology, it’s the time-tested, traditional practices and tools that enable us to wield this new capability most effectively."

So, for anyone not in dotnetland, MediatR is a library which is commonly implementing a design pattern known as CQRS, one of the many completely pointless "design pattern for the sake of design patterns" found within OOP and which I have been trying dearly to make people stop using.

2 months ago its lead developer posted in a comment to a reddit thread 'You can print it on a shirt “I will never commercialize MediatR”. And I will sign it.', only for that lead developer to, two months later, make it closed source...

Jimmy, you have no idea how much of a favour you are doing for me

Reddit thread title: "Do you think MediatR nuget will also become commercial just like fluentAssertions?" Comment from "jiggajim" (lead developer of MediatR): "Nah never. You can print it on a shirt “I will never commercialize MediatR”. And I will sign it. With like, splatter paint or something."

Diagrams aren't just for documenting what is intended or already exists. They help you to think, collaborate, and create a shared mental model.
Join me online to discover when and how to use diagrams-as-code, models, and #AI in your designs and diagrams 🤔 🤖

Create diagrams-as-code as well as understand the diagrams-as-code that an LLM might generate for you.

Find out more here: ddd.academy/diagrams-as-code-w

A photo of Jacqui Read on stage at DDD Europe. Text says: Diagrams-as-Code with AI. Create diagrams alongside your code that are useable with LLMs. April 23 & 30, 9.30am-1pm CET, 2-5.30pm IST, 4.30-8pm AWST.

"No one’s heard of a starving craftsman, just starving artists, and for a reason. Craftsmen create something people need. You’ve mastered a few important skills and moved up in the company. The important aspect here is that as you reach out to a greater community, you realize that there are plenty of people who are more skilled than you and who are still learning. Learn from them.

Gaining textbook skills or collecting certifications isn’t the point anymore; it’s applying all this knowledge in practical ways. Along the journey, you need to watch out for your best career interests and make sure that what you’re doing is what you want to do. For example, many get lost in promotions that lure them away from what they like doing, whether that’s programming or writing.

Finally, don’t underestimate perpetual learning. This is the key to the long road. Take time to practice, even if your job doesn’t seem to allow it. Learn new skills or apply existing skills in new ways. Along with practice comes failure, but don’t let that discourage you."
