What does it really mean to embrace #AI in #SoftwareEngineering?

In this #InfoQ #podcast, Ben Greene explores why technical excellence is no longer enough!

The new priority: deeply understanding business context & prioritizing human empathy in increasingly automated systems.

"If I had one tip to give to managers, it would be to make it extremely clear to engineers that team efficiency is more important than individual efficiency. Every team member should understand that the primary metric is not how busy and productive they are individually but how fast the team can deliver features to customers together."

The Semantic Irony of SAFe - a thread 🧵

There is a profound irony in the name "SAFe" (Scaled Agile Framework). In a truly agile system, the first thing you have to accept is that nothing is safe. Agility is our response to uncertainty, complexity, and risk.

At what point does automation stop being an advantage and start exposing your system's deepest flaws?

Right now, we are obsessed with "efficiency" in the wrong places. We automate reports, summaries, and dashboards, thinking we are accelerating our work.

But we might just be making our stagnation more visible.

Die Kurzbeschreibung meines Trainings, das auch auf dem Link zu finden ist. Dazu ein Profilbild von mir, einer weissen Frau in den 40ern mit kurzen Haaren und Brille.

"I don't 'break down the work to determine how long it will take'. My management chain already knows how long they want it to take. My job is to figure out the set of software approaches that match that estimate. Sometimes that set is empty."

AI is a local optimization. Flow is a system property.

Right now, many organizations are celebrating faster code generation as if it were the same thing as faster value delivery. It isn’t. AI can reduce the time it takes to produce a unit of work. But producing work faster is not the same as moving value through a system faster.

Work Feedback Loop

With MANY thanks to @hannukle for the suggestion, my team has switched to Fibery as our dev work tracking tool. I blogged about my research and the conclusions that led us to that decision: https://www.rainskit.com/blog/dev-work-trackers/

We considered Monday Dev, Jira, GitHub Projects, Linear, Plane, and Fibery. None were perfect, but Fibery was the only one that wasn't bad in some critical way.
