CIRCLE WITH A DOT

Another day, another data set telling us what we already knew.

In their AI Engineering Report, Faros detail what they call an “acceleration whiplash” effect caused by AI code gen.

It's the same “downstream chaos” that DORA and CircleCI saw in their data.

Slow. The. F**k. Down.

"Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast." US Navy SEALS training mantra Another day, another data set telling us what we already knew. In the latest AI Engineering Report from Faros, the software development telemetry folks, they found from studying 22,000 developers working on more than 4,000 teams what they call an "acceleration whiplash" effect…

CRESS Principles for Context Engineering - S is for Small

Among the things that most AI coding tool users get wrong, by far the biggest culprit is tackling too much at once.

This is a bad idea in software development, whether we're using LLMs or not.

But it's a REALLY bad idea when we are.

CRESS Principles for Context Engineering – S is for Small

We'll get to the effective context limits of Large Language Models in due course, but let's open with a software engineering fundamental. More than 75 years of people writing computer programs has taught us a few hard lessons, and one the of the most important is the size of the steps we take. In my…
